Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck proudly share the parenting responsibilities for their five children. The 54-year-old Jennifer is the mother of 15-year-old twins Max and Emme from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, while the 51-year-old Ben is the father of 18-year-old Violet, 14-year-old Seraphina, and 11-year-old Samuel from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner.
In a recent interview with Travel + Leisure, the “On the Floor” singer discussed her upcoming holiday plans with her blended family. She expressed her excitement about spending Christmas and the new year at home, emphasizing the importance of these holidays for her family. Jennifer mentioned that they are looking forward to activities such as watching movies, cooking, eating, playing games, and catching up on each other’s lives.
Jennifer Lopez also reflected on a past experience when she took her kids and her mother on tour during the Dance Again World Tour in 2012. Describing it as a “family affair,” she highlighted how the tour provided her then four-year-olds with invaluable cultural experiences, exposing them to various countries around the world.
The global exposure made a significant impact on her children, as they returned with a desire to revisit places like Singapore, something Jennifer Lopez herself never experienced while growing up in the Bronx. Despite her busy schedule, she values the opportunity to create lasting memories with her family.
Jennifer Lopez shared her perspective on vacations, noting that she wasn’t initially a big vacation person due to her focus on work. However, her experiences spending summers in the south of Italy changed her perception. She described the calming effect of being near the water and expressed appreciation for the relaxed lifestyle and fresh air.
Inspired by her trips to the Italian coast, Jennifer Lopez ventured into a new business endeavor—her own cocktail brand called Delola. The relaxed atmosphere and flavors she encountered during her time in Italy motivated her to create a product that captures the essence of that lifestyle.
