Ben Affleck’s daughter reportedly cut ties with Jennifer Lopez after feeling ‘used’ in parents’ split

Violet Affleck feels used in her father Ben Affleck’s split from Jennifer Lopez, leading to her distancing from JLo.

“Jen supported her daughter getting close to the singer because she always puts her children first. But as the divorce loomed, the fact that Violet was hanging out with JLo and wearing her clothes was odd to the family. So too was Lynda Lopez visiting Violet at college,” the source explained.

“Jen even let this slide because she wants Violet to be happy and respects that, as an adult, she can choose who to spend her time with even if Jen does not necessarily agree,” the source added. However, as Affleck and Lopez’s marriage unravelled, Violet reportedly grew distant from her former stepmother after witnessing how deeply the split affected her father.

“Over time, Violet started to see how upset her father was that their split was at the center of everything,” the insider told Daily Mail. “Ben never said a word about JLo, but Violet is highly intelligent and will ultimately always be a daddy’s girl. This is why you do not see her on public outings with JLo anymore.”

The former couple officially ended their two-year marriage just last summer and finalized their divorce this January. Court filings indicate that Lopez and Affleck’s divorce settlement included terms on their $61 million Los Angeles estate, with both parties opting to retain assets acquired individually and forgoing spousal support.
