Ben Affleck is growing frustrated with Jennifer Lopez’s frequent presence in his children’s daily lives, insiders tell me. The 50-year-old actor shares custody of his three kids with ex Jennifer Garner, and sources say both parents are feeling the squeeze as Lopez, 53, spends a lot of time around the family.
“The kids love their dad, but they’re just tired of having Jennifer Lopez around all the time,” a source close to the family reveals. “It’s not that they dislike her—they just want normalcy and some space.”
Another insider added, “Their routines feel disrupted. Ben tries to balance it, but it’s clear they’re overwhelmed by the constant celebrity attention and Lopez being in the house so often.”
Affleck and Lopez have been spotted together frequently in Los Angeles, from family outings to red carpet events, sparking speculation that his children are still adjusting.
A close family friend says, “He’s trying to do right by everyone. Ben wants the kids to feel comfortable and happy, but blending a family in the public eye is never simple.”
“Sometimes the kids just need a quiet night at home without cameras or constant attention,” another insider adds. “They’re still learning how to navigate all of this.”
Friends say Affleck is handling the delicate situation as best he can. “He wants to make everyone happy, but it’s not easy,” a family friend notes.

This seems weird. Why is JLo hanging around Ben's kids anyway? This doesn't seem fair to the kids at all. Ben and JLo got a divorce, and you think that to make things easier for the kids, if Ben and JLo wanted to see each other they do it away from the kids.
This has to be a little confusing for the kids.
I had to check the date on this article because I was completely flummoxed by the fact that Jlo is constantly with Ben at his house and around his kids, who are “still adjusting” to her presence. WTF?!?! They are DIVORCED. It’s been over a year since their melodramatic breakup. What the hell is Ben doing with her all the time? What is wrong with these people? Have a little self respect, people. Get your heads out of your respective asses and move on with your lives. Good God.
