    Jennifer Lopez is reportedly "trying to be friendly" with her estranged husband Ben Affleck for the sake of their kids

    The singer/actress split from the Hollywood actor in April after less than two years of marriage, and she filed for divorce on August 20 - the date of their second wedding anniversary. The former couple were pictured having brunch together in Los Angeles with their kids over the weekend (14-15.09.24) and it's been reported that Jennifer wants to remain on good terms with her ex for the sake of their children,


    A source told PEOPLE: "They all came together for a fun lunch so the kids could hang out. [Lopez is] trying to be friendly with Ben. They are still moving forward with the divorce though."

    The insider added: "A divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesn't want to be selfish about it. The kids always got along and have fun together. It makes her happy seeing the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority."

    The former couple were pictured out at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday (14.09.24) along with Ben's kids Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, as well as Jennifer's 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max with ex Marc Anthony. Ben is also dad to 18-year-old Violet - who is at college - from his marriage to Jennifer Garner.

    Pop superstar Jennifer, 55, was engaged to Hollywood actor Ben in the early 2000s, but the relationship ended shortly before they were due to get married.

    They got back together in 2021 before tying the knot in two ceremonies in 2022 - one in Las Vegas and one in Georgia. The divorce filing came exactly two years after the couple's extravagant second bash on August 20, 2022.

    The paperwork lists the official date of their separation as April 26, 2024. A source previously told PEOPLE that Jennifer took the move to file for divorce because she knows it's time to "move on" but she's still very "sad" that the marriage is over.

    The insider explained: "[She knows] it's time to move on" for various reasons ... She's very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn't given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage. He hasn't shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It's gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself."
