J-Lo reflects on the challenges and joys of uniting their children under one roof after their wedding.

Jennifer Lopez has opened up about the “emotional transition” of blending her family with Ben Affleck’s, six months after their wedding. The 53-year-old singer, who shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck, who has three children – Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 10 – from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, discussed the challenges and rewards of uniting their families.

During a recent interview on the Today show, while promoting her new film Shotgun Wedding alongside co-star Josh Duhamel, Lopez revealed that all of the children are now living under the same roof. Despite the adjustment, she described it as a “phenomenal year,” sharing that it has been a dream come true, even though it involved emotional moments.

Lopez remarked: “We moved in together. The kids moved in together. It’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition, but at the same time all your dreams coming true.”

Lopez and Affleck, who rekindled their romance nearly two decades after their initial engagement ended, tied the knot in July, and Lopez expressed that this year has been the best she’s had since the birth of her children. She added: “It’s just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year I think since my kids were born.”
