JUST IN: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s Daughter, Violet Affleck, Reveals Why She Never Wanted Her Father and Jennifer Lopez to Divorce — “Jennifer Lopez Is the Only Reason Why…”

In a rare and heartfelt revelation, Violet Affleck — the 19-year-old daughter of actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner — has broken her silence regarding her father’s widely speculated marital struggles with global superstar Jennifer Lopez.
Speaking during a candid moment at a charity event in Los Angeles this week, Violet stunned attendees by opening up about her feelings toward her father’s relationship with Lopez, whom he married in 2022.
Amid growing rumors of an impending split between Affleck and Lopez, Violet made it clear where her heart stands.
“I never wanted them to divorce,” she said softly. “Jennifer Lopez is the only reason why my dad started smiling again.”
Her words came as a shock to some, but a source close to the Affleck-Garner-Lopez blended family says Violet has long admired Lopez’s calming and uplifting influence on her father.
“Violet has seen the ups and downs Ben has faced, especially during some of his darker years,” the insider shared. “She saw J.Lo bring a light back into his life, and that meant the world to her.”
Violet reportedly developed a strong bond with Lopez during family outings, vacations, and shared moments at Ben’s Brentwood home.
Despite the initial challenges of adjusting to a new family dynamic, especially with her parents’ high-profile divorce in 2018, Violet has often spoken highly of Lopez in private circles.
“She never tried to replace anyone,” Violet continued. “She was just kind and respectful, always showing love and support — especially when my dad needed it the most.”
Her remarks come amid intensifying media speculation about the status of Bennifer 2.0, with reports suggesting the couple has been “living apart” and “working through deep differences.”
Neither Ben nor Jennifer Lopez has publicly commented on the latest rumors, but Violet’s statement has fueled new hope among fans that love may still prevail.
Social media lit up following Violet’s comments, with fans rallying around the teen’s emotional honesty. “This girl has wisdom beyond her years,” wrote one X user. “Violet sees the bigger picture — not just fame, but emotional healing.”
Ben Affleck has long praised his children for grounding him, crediting Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel for helping him through personal challenges, including past struggles with addiction and depression.
Lopez, too, has spoken about blending families with grace, noting that she always aimed to make her stepchildren feel “seen and valued.”
As of now, neither Lopez nor Affleck has issued a response to Violet’s unexpected public remarks, but many are now watching closely — and holding out hope — that the love story that inspired millions may still have a future.
