The Ben Affleck reconciliation rumors have intensified after his public appearance with Jennifer Lopez at the New York City premiere of Kiss of a Spider Woman, just a year following their split. Their children, according to multiple sources, are reportedly hoping for their parents to get back together, adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the ongoing speculation.
Children Reportedly Hope for a Renewed Relationship
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez ended their marriage in 2024 after two years together, but their bond appears to have endured through their families. Lopez, widely known as J.Lo, has reportedly stayed connected with Affleck’s teenage children—Violet, Fin, and Samuel—organizing occasions where they could spend time with her own twins, Max and Emme. These interactions have kept the families close, even after the couple’s separation.
Their recent appearance together at the premiere of Kiss of a Spider Woman in New York reignited both media and public curiosity. In the aftermath, reports suggest that the children from both sides are keen to see their parents form what some have referred to as “Bennifer 3.0.”
“That’s gone a long way with Ben’s kids, and what they’d like more than anything, as would J.Lo’s kids, is to see Bennifer 3.0,”
a source told the outlet.
Mixed Feelings Fuel the Reunion Rumors
Jennifer Lopez has previously stated that she is comfortable with her single status, affirming personal growth after the breakup and noting that she is no longer interested in
“looking for happiness in other people.”
Still, insiders offer a contrasting perspective, suggesting Lopez feels strongly about her connection with Affleck.
“In her mind, she and Affleck are ‘destined to be together again,’”
a source confided.
The source further added that following their surprise reunion, Lopez continues to feel admiration for Affleck.
“She’s even more convinced that it’s a case of when, not if, it’s going to happen,”
the source shared.
The period following their break up has reportedly not been easy for the singer, as moving on has proven challenging.
“None of those guys could hold a candle to Ben,”
a source said.
“He’s the love of her life in every respect.”
Concerns from Affleck’s Social Circle
While the children are supportive of a renewed romance, not everyone in Ben Affleck’s circle shares the optimism. Friends of the actor have communicated reservations about a potential reconciliation, warning him about past difficulties during their relationship.
“This would be a huge mistake,”
a source shared, referring to the possibility of reuniting. The source explained that Affleck’s friends are
“reminding him how miserable he was when they were together.”
Despite the hopes of both families’ children and the apparent continuing feelings between Lopez and Affleck, uncertainties remain. Their recent public interaction has put the spotlight back on their relationship, fueling ongoing Ben Affleck reconciliation rumors as observers, fans, and family alike wait to see if “Bennifer 3.0” becomes reality.
