On Saturday, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck spent time with their blended family, stepping out with Serafina Affleck, and Samuel Affleck, and Emme Muñiz. The little family unit were dressed stylishly in layered winter wear, J.Lo in a gray fur coat over a cropped white t-shirt with a pair of wide-legged denim jeans. She had her hair up in a high bun, wore a pair of aviator sunglasses, and carried a small blue backpack in one hand.
Her other hand was in Affleck’s, who was wearing a tan bomber jacket over a three quarter zip pullover, with a pair of khaki pants. The kids were all in hooded sweatshirts, and comfortable pants.
In an interview on TODAY, Lopez discussed how she and Affleck have been blending their families.
“We moved in together. The kids moved in together,” Lopez told Jason Kennedy while promoting her new film Shotgun Wedding with Josh Duhamel, coming out on Prime Video.
She continued, “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, my best year I think since my kids were born.”
They recently celebrated the holidays together, and Lopez shared details of her Hummingbird Theme for Christmas with vans via her newsletter.
“To me, hummingbirds are messengers of love,“ she explained. “They’re also the fastest bird but they always have time to stop, eat something sweet and smell the roses. I identify with them, but more than anything, whenever I see one, I feel like it’s a sign from God that everything is going to be OK.”
She continued, “So, I decided this year that the hummingbird would be a perfect theme. We have blended families, doubled the people, doubled the fun, doubled the love, doubled the presents and tripled the chaos!!”
