Jennifer Lopez’s sister Lynda has shared a picture alongside Ben Affleck’s daughter, and fans are sharing their thoughts.
The famous pair tied the knot two years ago after rekindling their romance in 2021 following their split way back in 2004. And while many fans thought this was fate, it clearly wasn't meant to be as they announced their divorce in August of this year.
But despite them going their separate ways, it seems as though Affleck, 52, is still on good terms with his soon-to-be ex-wife Lopez, 55, and former in-laws.

Lopez's sister Lynda shared an adorable photo with his daughter, Violet Affleck, 19, who started attending Yale University as a freshman in New Haven, Connecticut in September.
Violet, whose mother is actress Jennifer Garner, took a selfie as Lynda lovingly posed behind her with a hand on Violet’s shoulder.
“New Haven with my favourite Yalie!” Lynda captioned the photo. The post was inundated with comments celebrating how nice it is that the families are still close despite the divorce.
One Instagram user shared: “Just because Jen & Ben are separated, that doesn’t mean that the affectionate and caring bonds between the extended families toward the children (who are innocent bystanders in all of those divorce related situations and circumstances) don’t and can’t continue.
Another commenter shared: “This is really sweet and despite what happens in a marriage, the Lopez’s seem to be very loving towards the kids.”
And a third person wrote: “The Afflecks’ love for the Lopez family is too previous. Beautiful and special.”
‘Bennifer’ fans have been left rather astounded over how amicable their break-up appears to have been.
So much so, that the Gone Girl frontman recently made a pretty gushy statement to Entertainment Tonight about Lopez's performance in her upcoming film, Unstoppable.
Lopez will take on the role of Robles' mother Judy in the production, in which she stars alongside the likes of Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle.
Discussing the release of the sport-drama movie - in which Lopez plays the leading lady role and Affleck worked as a producer - he said: "Unstoppable is a very different movie than this but in a way, it's similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists.
"Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel, and Bobby Cannavale - all were really passionate about this film."
