Recently, Lynda Lopez, Jennifer Lopez’s sister, posted a selfie she took with Violet Affleck during a visit to Yale. This moment, however, has sparked concerns from Violet’s parents, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, who aren’t entirely pleased with the connection.
Violet has spent time with J.Lo and her family before. Earlier in the summer, she joined the singer in the Hamptons. Although Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben in August, the separation had been the subject of rumors for months. Despite this, Violet appears to have kept a close relationship with her former stepmother.

According to an insider speaking with DailyMail.com, “Violet is very close to J.Lo and her family,” which has caused some confusion for both Ben and Jennifer. “They don’t understand why Violet is so insistent on maintaining this relationship.”
The source also revealed that Violet deeply admires J.Lo and Lynda, expressing a desire to continue nurturing their bond. “She looks up to them and is committed to keeping that connection strong.”
Allegedly, Violet even invited Lynda to visit her at Yale, with the insider sharing that Violet reached out to make the visit happen. “Violet said that she just reached out to her and said she wanted to come visit,” the source added.
However, Ben and Jennifer aren’t entirely supportive of Violet’s continued closeness with the Lopez family. According to the source, the first time Ben saw the selfie of Violet and Lynda was online, and he had no prior knowledge of the visit. “Violet is an adult and can choose who she spends time with,” the source remarked.
The real concern for Ben and Jennifer seems to be the fact that the selfie was shared publicly. The insider explained, “Ben and Jen feel that Violet and Lynda could have spent time together and taken a photo without posting it online for everyone to see.”
Back in July, Entertainment Tonight reported that Violet’s bond with J.Lo was putting Ben in a difficult position. Despite this, Ben and Jennifer were reportedly focused on easing the transition for their children. “They don’t want to make things harder than they already are,” the source concluded.
