Ben Affleck will make his children the center of Christmas this year as the 52-year-old actor moves on from Jennifer Lopez after they split up in April and began divorce proceedings in August.
The couple met in 2020 and married in 2022 but decided to call time on their love after missing their birthdays and anniversary in a sour split that saw the DC Expanded Universe actor move out of their shared home.
Jennifer Lopez struts her stuff in black revenge dress after Ben Affleck spends holidays with Jennifer Garner
There was a brief hope of reconciliation at the Beverly Hills Hotel when they shared a passionate kiss but that time has passed too and now they're moving on from each other and according to an insider speaking to PEOPLE, Affleck is "healthy, single and enjoying life."
So as the 52-year-old leaves Lopez in his past, he turns his attention to his children and welcomes them to his new home in Pacific Palisades to spend the festive period together as he looks to forget 2024.
"Ben is spending the holiday with his children," the insider added to PEOPLE. "And is excited to have Violet home for break."
Lopez and Affleck look to stay amicable
Affleck is a father three times over from his marriage to Jennifer Garner, who he dated from 2004-2015 and has relied on for emotional support and advice as he splits from Lopez.
He is dad to Violet (19), Seraphina (15) and Samuel (12), and collected his middle child up from Garner's Brentwood pad where she lives with her partner, John Miller.
But he also co-parented Lopez's twins from Marc Anthony, Max and Emme, and it seems they want to keep their family together as it breaks up into two separate homes.
"They have every intention of continuing to be in each other's lives," a source told PageSix.com. "Despite not being romantically involved.
"Ben and Jennifer are still connected and they do communicate when it involves their kids."
