Ben Affleck is reportedly focusing on maintaining stability at home as his family adjusts to changing dynamics.
According to Rob Shuter, the actor has been feeling growing pressure as Jennifer Lopez continues to spend significant time around his children, sparking concerns about how the situation is affecting them.
Affleck shares custody of his three children with his former wife, Jennifer Garner. Sources indicate that both parents are focused on maintaining stability for their kids, who are still adapting to changes within the family structure. While Lopez has frequently been seen with Affleck at public events and family outings in Los Angeles, insiders suggest that the increased visibility has required careful handling.
The publication reported that Affleck is making a conscious effort to balance everyone’s needs. One source said, “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.” Meanwhile, another source explained that children sometimes need space away from the spotlight as they continue to adjust.
Despite the reported challenges, family friends say Affleck is approaching the situation carefully. A source added, “He wants to make everyone happy, but it’s not easy.”
Recent public appearances have renewed attention on the family dynamic. In December 2025, Page Six published photos of Affleck and one of his sons spending time with Lopez during a holiday shopping trip in Los Angeles. The group visited several stores, including Sézane and Doên, before stopping for lunch at Farmshop. The outing followed another public moment weeks earlier, when Affleck, Lopez, and Garner attended one of their children’s school plays.
