<p id=”par-1_76″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jennifer-lopez/?swcfpc=1″>Jennifer Lopez</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/ben-affleck/?swcfpc=1″>Ben Affleck</a> have an incredible love story, but fans are watching it come crashing down in 2024. Lopez and Affleck first got engaged in the early 2000s, but they couldn’t make their relationship work. They reconnected in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022. However, in 2024, they’re reportedly having <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/body-language-expert-predicts-long-jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-will-last.html/”>severe marital issues</a>. Here’s what Lopez posted about Affleck for Father’s Day in 2024 and how it’s much different than her 2023 post.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-jennifer-lopez-chose-an-old-photo-of-ben-affleck-for-father-s-day-in-2024″>Jennifer Lopez chose an old photo of Ben Affleck for Father’s Day in 2024</h2>
<p id=”par-2_66″>Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly on the rocks in 2024. While the couple rekindled their old flame in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022, several sources claim they can’t effectively communicate, among other issues. Lopez and Affleck reportedly live in separate homes, with Lopez living in their $60 million mansion and Affleck living in a $100,000 monthly rental near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.</p>
<p id=”par-3_61″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ben-affleck-going-along-jennifer-lopez-showing-kids-events-source-says.html/”>Affleck is the father of three children</a> with Garner: Samuel, 12, Seraphina, 15, and Violet, 18. To commemorate Father’s Day, Lopez posted an old photo of Affleck from the 2001 movie Pearl Harbor to<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/stories/jlo/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> Instagram Stories</a><em>.</em> “Our hero,” she captioned the sepia-toned photo. She followed Affleck’s photo with a picture of her father as a young man flying a plane. </p>
<p id=”par-4_60″>While Lopez gave a brief shoutout to Affleck, the post pales compared to what she <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctpq7s9v3Qg/?img_index=4″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>posted</a> in 2023. She previously posted a series of photos and videos of her and Affleck. The first photo shows Affleck shirtless, and the following clip shows Lopez raving about Affleck as a father. The last two photos show Affleck and Lopez snuggled up together.</p>
<p id=”par-5_60″>“He’s so involved,” Lopez says of Affleck in the clip. “You know, he teaches me about how to kind of interact with the kids sometimes. He’s just so in tune. He’s such a brilliant guy anyway. … You can just tell that when he had his kids, he must’ve read every book and everything you could possibly learn about children.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_38″>“Daddy Appreciation Post,” she captioned the Father’s Day post in 2023. “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.”</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-ben-affleck-spent-time-with-his-ex-wife-jennifer-garner-on-father-s-day”>Ben Affleck spent time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, on Father’s Day</h2>
<p id=”par-7_31″>Jennifer Lopez gave Ben Affleck a shoutout on Father’s Day in 2024, but the two didn’t seem to spend the day together. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-lopez-hates-ben-affleck-confides-jennifer-garner-marriage-source-claims.html/”>Jennifer Garner and Affleck</a> spent Father’s Day together instead.</p>
<p id=”par-8_23″>According to <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2024/06/16/entertainment/ben-affleck-spends-time-with-ex-jennifer-garner-on-fathers-day-as-j-lo-calls-him-a-hero-amid-marital-woes/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a>, Garner was seen heading to Affleck’s rental unit on Sunday. After their visit, Affleck drove his ex-wife home. </p>
<p id=”par-9_42″>It’s unclear if Affleck spent time with his three kids on Father’s Day. Lopez also has kids with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. She and Anthony share twins Max and Emme Muniz. Lopez didn’t give a shoutout to Anthony on Father’s Day. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-couple-is-allegedly-already-in-talks-to-divorce”>The couple is allegedly already in talks to divorce</h2>
<p id=”par-10_73″>Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reportedly see each other a few times weekly as they lead separate lives. “They’re still friendly and see each other every few days,” a source close to Lopez told <a href=”https://people.com/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-remain-friendly-see-each-other-every-few-days-amid-marital-strain-exclusive-8661477″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>. When their kids have events, the couple also comes together for the good of their blended family. However, additional reports suggest <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ben-affleck-jennifer-lopez-working-avoid-messy-court-battle-divorce-source-claims.html/”>Lopez and Affleck want to get their “ducks in a row”</a> to make the divorce process easy.</p>
<p id=”par-11_52″>“The last thing Ben wants to do is hurt Jen,” an insider told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/ben-affleck-wants-jennifer-lopez-divorce-to-be-civilized/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch Weekly</a>. “He still loves and respects her. And, of course, the family situation comes into this heavily, which is why he’s agreed to do this in a civilized and loving way, just like he did with Jennifer Garner.”</p>
