Ben Affleck still enjoys spending time with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez's kids and even brought them along for the premiere of his new movie The Accountant 2.
The Oscar winner enjoyed an evening out with his and his ex's children on Wednesday (April 16) for the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, per People. Affleck shares three kids – Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13 – with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez is a mom to 17-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Affleck shared his excitement of having their kids together to celebrate his latest project.
"It's a great night. The kids are here, Jen's kids are here. I'm very, very excited," he said. "I'm proud of the movie, I love the movie and I love when all the kids come out. It's really fun, it's exciting."
He added, "I'm thrilled that the kids are here with me. The relationships that you can have with children like that, it's the joy of my life. And those kids are amazing, and I'm glad that this is a movie they want to come to."
The Good Will Hunting actor also addressed the sometimes "negative" speculation surrounding his relationship with the "Let's Get Loud" singer before he praised his "tremendous" ex.
"For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them," he said. "I love her kids. They're wonderful. She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to."
Lopez filed for divorce from the Argo director in August 2024 after two years of marriage, with the former couple finalizing divorce proceedings earlier this year. Last month, Affleck opened up about the "truth" behind their split while shutting down rumors of a "scandal."
