The Kardashian-Jenner Family’s annual Christmas Eve traditions are a closely guarded secret, but one thing is certain: they always make time for loved ones and festive celebrations.
A Family Affair: Jennifer Lopez‘s Cozy Christmas Eve Celebration
Jennifer Lopez shared a glimpse into her intimate family Christmas Eve gathering, surrounded by her two children from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. The “Let’s Get Loud” singer, 55, was seen relaxing on a couch by a roaring fire as her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme lounged nearby.
The video, posted to her Instagram on Tuesday, showed Lopez smiling joyfully as she spent time with her family amid her separation from Ben Affleck. The singer kept things casual in a pair of camel-hued sweatpants and a white T-shirt as her family members decorated the twinkling Christmas tree. Her living room was adorned with green garlands and white Christmas lights, complete with several wrapped presents under the towering tree covered with gold ornaments.
A Holiday Gesture from Ben Affleck
Despite their separation, Lopez and Affleck still managed to celebrate each other over the holidays. According to a source, the “Batman” star, 52, purchased an autographed Marlon Brando book for Lopez before exchanging gifts during their lunch at a restaurant. The gesture was seen as a way to celebrate the holidays and maintain a sense of amicability despite the ongoing divorce proceedings.
A Continued Connection
A source recently confirmed that Affleck and Lopez plan on continuing to be in each other’s lives, particularly when it comes to their children. “Ben and Jennifer are still connected, and they do communicate when it involves their kids,” the insider said. This sentiment is echoed by another source, who stated that the couple plans on maintaining a relationship with each other’s children.
Lopez became a stepmom to Affleck’s three children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner – Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 – when they tied the knot in July 2022. However, she filed for divorce from the Oscar winner in August on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.
A Holiday Apart
A source told TMZ that Affleck would be spending the holiday with his own kids this year. Despite calling off their marriage, Lopez still plans on maintaining a relationship with Affleck’s children through her connection to Garner.
