Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are happily in love and on the way to tying the knot, but do they want kids? “They don’t want any new kids – they’re both through that part of their lives,” a source told EXCLUSIVELY HollywoodLifeand notes that the couple each have children of their own with previous partners.

“JLo’s connection to his children makes Ben even more certain that this is destiny,” the insider added. “They’re really trying to make it a blended family and Jennifer Garner thinks that’s great. She doesn’t mind at all if the kids go over to spend time with her dad and JLo because it also gives her some alone time, which is so rare for her.”

Though the idea of a Bennifer baby may have excited the couple’s fans, the two seem perfectly content with merging their families and just enjoying life together. According to another source, J.Lo is a perfect match for Ben’s kids, violet16, Seraphina13 and Samuel, 10, and love is apparently already there between them all. The singer notably has a “bond” with the 49-year-old actor’s only son, Samuel, and feels “very much like his dad,” according to a source.
“Jennifer Lopez is loved by all of Ben’s children but she definitely has a special bond with Samuel as Samuel is the youngest of all five children and is sort of the baby of the bunch,” the source told EXCLUSIVE HollywoodLife. “When Ben and Jen (Garner) split in 2015, Samuel was too young to remember, but he always grew up with two loving parents.”

The source continued, “J.Lo says that Samuel is very similar to his father. She treats all of his children as her own while always respecting the fact that Jen is her mother. Ben and J.Lo came back into each other’s lives with a whole brood of kids, and they’re so blessed because they’re all really good kids. They are now focused on raising them to be good adults and the group of five is enough for them.”
In addition to Ben’s three children, Jennifer shares 14-year-old twins emme and Max with ex husband MarcAnthony. The children from both sides of the family have been spotted out and about more than once and seem happy together as they regularly enjoy various activities with their parents.
