Jennifer Lopez’s twin teenagers turned 15 years old this week, and JLo went out of her way to make an effort to bring her new blended family together to celebrate.

Lopez married Ben Affleck in July 2022, and the couple have reportedly bought a home in Los Angeles in recent weeks to accommodate both their children. Lopez has twins Max and Emme with Marc Anthony, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner share teenage girls Violet, who is 17 and Seraphina, 14, as well as 10-year-old Samuel.

The family album

JLo posted a montage of family photos to commemorate the twins’ special day on Instagram on Wednesday to the tune of Taylor Swift’s song ‘Fifteen’.

“Happy birthday to my beautiful, brilliant coconuts,” the ‘Shotgun Wedding’ star wrote in the caption. “I am so proud of you both in every single way.”

“You bring so much joy and happiness to my heart and soul. I love you beyond forever,” the 53-year-old mom gushed.

The video features glimpses into their 15 years as Taylor Swift’s 2008 single, “Fifteen,” plays in the background.

Photos in the post feature JLo and Ben having dinner with their children, baby pictures, and some behind-the-scenes clips with Emme surrounding the ‘Jenny From the Block’ singer’s 2020 Super Bowl performance.

The singer also included a picture of Affleck holding a sleeping Max in the car.

The loving dad

On Father’s Day, Lopez shared a similar tribute to Affleck, commending him for his role as a “consistent, loving and selfless” father.

“And it’s not just to your own kids but also without obligation to mine as well,” Lopez wrote. “You show up and put them first always.”

“You are affectionate and engaged in every moment they are with you and it’s honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.”

A source close to the couple said that when JLo and Ben got back together in 2021, and she was looking to move back to Los Angeles, the twins were “onboard with starting fresh”.

“They are slowly getting to know Ben,” the source said. “Everything seems to be running smoothly. It’s very obvious that Jennifer is serious about Ben. She hasn’t looked this happy for a long time.”
