It can be nerve-wracking hoping your kids will get along when you get re-married, so this has got to be a relief for the newlyweds! The insider continued, “They all really have respect for each other. Jen’s relationship with Ben’s kids is natural and same goes for Ben’s bond with Jen’s kids.”
The Marry Me star and City on a Hill executive producer got married in July, after which, J. Lo shared some sweets words about her blended family.
“They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love,’” she wrote on her On the JLo newsletter. “We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to. Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with.”
Last month, an insider told Us Weekly that Lopez and Garner are becoming friends as they coparent. “Now that Jen and Jen have been coparenting, they’ve been getting to know each other better and have formed a very new friendship,” they said.
