Before Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were hit with split speculation while living separately in 2024, the couple tied the knot twice and blended their families.
The “Gigli” co-stars were both previously married to other people with whom they welcomed children.

The “Let’s Get Loud” singer was married to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, and they welcomed twins Max and Emme in 2008.
Meanwhile, the “Argo” actor, director and producer was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018. They welcomed Violet in 2005, Seraphina in 2009 and Samuel in 2012.
Here’s what we know about the five children from Lopez and Affleck’s previous marriages.

Max was born on Feb. 22, 2008 and bears a striking resemblance to his father, with Lopez even calling him a “mini-Marc” in 2015 (via SCMP).
The teen made his screen debut in his mother’s 2022 romantic comedy “Marry Me” and had “a great time” filming,” according to Lopez.
“He wants to do it more,’” she told El Gordo y la Flaca (via Hola!). “He wants to be an actor. It’s not that he’s shy, but I think he wants to be more of a voice actor because he has a very different voice, and he can do very different voices.”
A source told In Touch Weekly in June 2021 that Max and Affleck bonded over “movies and video games.”

Emme — whom Lopez revealed goes by “they/them” pronouns — is Max’s twin and a singer who hit the stage with their mom during the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show.
“It was insane that it happened ’cause, you know, it’s not very common for someone my age to be on that stage,” Emme told “Entertainment Tonight” of the moment. “It was a crazy experience, but it was all really fun ’cause my friend was there at the Super Bowl with me. She was dancing, and yeah, it was really great.”
Emme previously went viral for covering Alicia Keys’ 2003 hit “If I Ain’t Got You.”

In addition to their music aspirations, the teen is also an author, writing the children’s book “Lord Help Me: Inspiring Prayers for Every Day,” which was published in 2020.
Whether Emme sticks with music, literature or both, Lopez has vowed to stand behind her child.
“Listen, if [they were] going to do it, there’s nothing I could do to stop [them],” she told “Entertainment Tonight” about Emme in 2019. “I would never push [them] in any direction. I’d always help [them] as much as I can and give [them] as much counsel and advice as I can and mentor in the best ways I know how to navigate.”

The eldest daughter of Affleck and Garner, Violet was born on Dec. 1, 2005.
Affleck gushed over his daughter’s fluency in Spanish during an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in 2020.
“She’s always been a very good student, and she’s been interested in Spanish, and so I would often help her. Now, all of a sudden, she’s gotten into the grade where she’s, like, in the harder Spanish classes and she’s getting better,” he said. “She’s right at the point where I think she might be passing me.”

When Violet graduated from high school in May 2024, Garner posted crying pictures via Instagram. Affleck attended her first graduation party solo but put on a united front with Lopez at the second.
While Violet has not confirmed her college plans, she appears to be Yale bound.
The teen spoke out against mask bans at a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting in July 2024, calling for a mask mandate in county medical facilities, free testing and more in the wake of her own “post-viral condition.”

Born on Jan. 6, 2009, Seraphina is the second child of the “Gone Girl” actor and the “13 Going on 30” star.
She reportedly has a bold personality, with a source telling In Touch, “Seraphina is adorable and super outgoing. She has more of a mischievous streak than the other two and is incredibly close to Ben.”
Seraphina and her younger brother, Samuel, also reportedly have a “unique bond” and “spend hours playing together.”
Violet and Seraphina are also huge fans of Taylor Swift and were speechless when they met the singer, according to Affleck’s “Kelly Clarkson Show” interview.

What do you think? Post a comment.
Affleck told “Ellen DeGeneres Show” viewers in 2019 that his son is an “awesome” baseball player.
The actor, who coached the Little League team at the time, is also often photographed taking Samuel to basketball matches.
Samuel is seemingly not so good at driving, however, as he made headlines in June 2022 when he was photographed backing a Lamborghini SUV into a BMW while Affleck and Lopez shopped for cars in Los Angeles.
