Breaking: Jennifer Lopez honors Ben Affleck on Father’s Day amid breakup rumors: ‘Our hero’
Ben Affleck received some love from Jennifer Lopez on Father’s Day.
Lopez, 54, shared a black and white snap on her Instagram stories of Affleck, 51, from 2001 when he starred as Rafe McCawley in “Pearl Harbor.”
Despite rumored tensions in their relationship, she honored her husband on his big day with a short and sweet shout-out underneath the social media share.
“Our hero,” Lopez wrote with a white heart emoji. “Happy Father’s Day.”
Affleck co-parents his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
Garner and Affleck initially met on the set of “Pearl Harbor,” but their relationship began years later. They married in June 2005, and ultimately went their separate ways in 2015. Their divorce was finalized in 2018.
The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer has teenage twins with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. The former couple first met in 1998, but sparks didn’t fly until 2004 when Lopez and Anthony were engaged and married at her Beverly Hills home.
They announced their separation in 2011, and by 2014 their divorce was finalized.
Ben and Jen were first engaged in 2002 after meeting on the set of their film, “Gigli.” Affleck proposed, and they were set to be married in 2004, but the wedding was called off at the last minute.
Nearly 20 years later, Lopez and Affleck married in Las Vegas during a surprise midnight wedding ceremony nearly two years ago.
Lopez and Affleck have reportedly been quietly trying to sell their $60.8 million Beverly Hills estate while dealing with the media frenzy around their relationship.
“Ben never liked the house. It’s too far away from his kids,” a source told People magazine and added, “The house is way too big for [Lopez].”
Lopez and Affleck have been living separately, a source previously confirmed to Fox News Digital.
