A source close to Lopez claimed the singer is delighted that her husband has a “happy co-parenting” relationship with his ex. “One of the things that made [Garner] and [Affleck] get to a better place was – and is – JLO,” the source shared.

“Ben is healthy. The drama of the past and the emotions of divorce are long gone and they are all making it work.” The source says Lopez and Garner are “friendly” with one another and that all of their kids “love each other.”

Affleck and Garner share daughters Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 11, while Lopez is a mom to 15-year-old twins Max and Emme from her marriage to Marc Anthony. “It is really a very happy co-parenting situation,” said the source. “Everything is really good right now and should be the same in the near and distant future.”

Despite claims that Garner and Affleck’s relationship was coming between his marriage, the source claims Lopez and Affleck are doing well a year into their marriage. “Their relationship is still on fire. They are really happy with each other, and there’s no drama in their relationship right now at all,” they revealed.
