Violet Affleck, 18, adores Jennifer Lopez and is said to be against her father splitting from his stepmother.
“Violet wants her father to stay with J.Lo,” a source told MailOnline. “Violet doesn’t fully understand the extent of the rift between her father and stepmother as they don’t live together, but she has been very close to J.Lo over the years and is heartbroken by their split.”
Insiders say Violet, the eldest daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, regularly talks to J.Lo and enjoys hanging out with her. Since graduating from high school, the teenager has been spotted dining out in Los Angeles and traveling to The Hamptons with her stepmother. Last weekend, Violet wore J.Lo’s old dress while hanging out with the singer’s twins Max and Emme.
The pink Dolce & Gabbana dress was worn by Jennifer Lopez on her Valentine’s Day date with Ben Affleck last year. Violet’s wearing the dress on Sunday is said to be a show of love for her stepmother and a message of reconciliation to her father.

However, the source said Ben Affleck did not mind his daughter’s actions: “Ben does not mind Violet and J.Lo’s closeness because Violet is an adult and can be with anyone she chooses. Unfortunately for her, wearing J.Lo’s dress in public will not affect Ben’s divorce plans.”
Another source also confirmed that Violet supports her father and stepmother getting back together. Violet not only loves J.Lo, she also considers the singer’s children as her younger brothers and sisters. Along with Violet, all of their children want Ben and J.Lo to be happy like before.
Ben Affleck has three children: Violet, 15-year-old Fin and 12-year-old Samuel. Jennifer Lopez has two 16-year-old children, Max and Emme, with her ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony. All of the children attended the actor’s wedding to J.Lo in 2022. Their 5 children often go out with their parents or go out alone together.
Ben and Jennifer Lopez have reportedly been having problems since March. The Batman actor moved out in May and recently bought a new house. J.Lo, meanwhile, has been travelling alone in Europe and spending the summer in The Hamptons. Last month, a source told MailOnline that the couple were preparing divorce papers and would file for divorce at the appropriate time.
