In a heartwarming display of family bonding, Jennifer Lopez recently shared a cheerful video featuring herself, Ben Affleck’s daughter Violet, and actress Cassidy Frallin.
This lighthearted moment comes on the heels of Lopez’s divorce from Affleck, stirring curiosity among fans about the dynamics of their relationships.
On July 13, the 54-year-old star of “Maid in Manhattan” took to her Instagram Stories to post a delightful clip of her springtime car ride with Violet, who is now 18 years old.
The video captures Lopez in the passenger seat, sporting her wedding ring and stylish shades, as Violet and her friend peek through the open sunroof, clearly enjoying their day out in New York City.
Accompanying the clip was a vibrant spring sticker and a soundtrack featuring Kid Leroy’s hit “Young Ladies.”
However, this joyful outing comes at a time when reports suggest that Lopez and Affleck have been facing some challenges in their marriage.
Sources indicate that the couple spent Independence Day weekend apart, raising eyebrows about the current state of their relationship.
Despite these rumors, Lopez appeared to be in high spirits while shopping with Violet in East Hampton, New York, where they were seen leaving a local hair salon surrounded by fans.
Eyewitnesses noted that Lopez seemed genuinely happy during her shopping spree with Ben’s daughter, sporting a big smile throughout their outing.
Shortly after the shopping trip, Lopez shared another family moment on Instagram, further solidifying the bond between her and Violet.
This follows reports from WWD detailing that the duo had also been spotted dress shopping at Loveshack Fancy in Sag Harbor just a day prior.
The store, however, did not respond immediately to requests for confirmation about Lopez’s visit.
On the other hand, Shop Unwind in Bridgehampton acknowledged that Lopez had shopped there last week, highlighting her status as a frequent customer.
Owner Deborah Shonow was unsure if Lopez had visited the store on Friday, but noted her previous presence.
According to WWD, a sales associate at Loveshack Fancy mentioned that Lopez and Violet enjoyed a private shopping experience, with the store temporarily halting admissions to allow them some peace.
The employee described Lopez as exceptionally kind and friendly, adding that the mother-daughter duo was gifted the brand’s Norma dress during their visit.
Ben Affleck, a father of three with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, shares a close-knit relationship with his children, including Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
Meanwhile, Lopez is a proud mother to twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
In May, both Lopez and Affleck came together to celebrate a significant milestone in Violet’s life—her high school graduation at the Air Theatre in Santa Monica, California.
Since then, Violet has been actively using her voice to advocate for mask accessibility and high-quality free testing in Los Angeles County.
On July 9, Violet made headlines by attending a meeting of the ALA district-leading group of bosses, where she passionately spoke against mask bans and shared her personal experiences battling long COVID, a condition that affects many individuals post-infection.
