Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are doing their best to stay friends amid their divorce, apparently for the sake of their kids (both parties are parents from previous relationships, they share no children).
“They want to show the kids that things are amicable,” a source told People, adding, âThey want to stay friendly. Thereâs still a lot of love.â The insider added that, despite getting lunch together, Ben and Jen “are still moving forward with the divorce” as they âcontinue to focus on the kids.â

This is almost exactly what a source told the same outlet right after the pair were spotted with their kids having lunch. According to Page Six, the pair was spotted holding hands and kissing during their reunion.
“They all came together for a fun lunch so the kids could hang out,” this person said. “[Jennifer’s] trying to be friendly with Ben. They are still moving forward with the divorce though. They are working out financial details amicablyâ¦A divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesn’t want to be selfish about it. The kids always got along and have fun together. It makes her happy seeing the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority.”
