Jennifer Lopez gave Ben Affleck a particularly steamy Father’s Day tribute on Instagram. The singer posted an homage to her husband and the stepfather of her 15-year-old twins Emme and Max. The first photo featured Affleck topless with his abs on display; the rest featured intimate shots from the married couple’s life together.
“Daddy Appreciation Post ,” Lopez wrote. “Happy Father’s Day Papa. And Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Papas out there!! We love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know 🤍”
Affleck has three children of his own with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: 17-year-old Violet, 14-year-old Seraphina, and 10-year-old Samuel.
Lopez spoke to Vogue in November about the care they were taking blending families. “The transition is a process that needs to be handled with so much care,” she said. “They have so many feelings. They’re teens. But it’s going really well so far. What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.”
She later spoke to The Today Show in January about their joint family’s progress. “We [Ben and I] moved in together,” she said. “The kids moved in together. It’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition, but at the same time all your dreams coming true and it’s just been a phenomenal year, like best year, I think, since my kids were born.”
