A Delicate Balance: Maintaining Boundaries and Fostering Connection

Affleck's Preference for Minimal Interaction

While Lopez has expressed a desire to maintain a closer relationship, sources reveal that Affleck, who shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, is determined to keep a clear boundary between their lives. The 52-year-old actor has been spotted at school functions where Lopez's children, twins Emme and Max, also attend, but he prefers to limit his interactions to a quick "hi and bye." Affleck reportedly feels that keeping their lives separate is the healthiest choice for everyone involved."Ben knows he'll occasionally see Jen at these events for the kids, and he's okay with that," an insider shared. "But he'd rather not engage beyond what's necessary. For him, keeping their lives separate is the healthiest choice."

Garner's Steadfast Support

Lopez, known for her unwavering presence in the spotlight, continues to balance her career and family, leaving any hopes for a closer connection with Affleck behind.

Crossing Paths, Maintaining Boundaries
