The singer-actor split from the Hollywood star in April after less than two years of marriage, and she filed for divorce on August 20 - the date of their second wedding anniversary - but a new report suggests the pair want to continue being a part of each other's lives for the sake of their families.
"They have every intention of continuing to be in each other's lives despite not being romantically involved," a source told New York Post column PageSix.
"Ben and Jennifer are still connected and they do communicate when it involves their kids."
Affleck is dad to Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, from his marriage to Jennifer Garner while Lopez is mum to 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max with ex Marc Anthony.
Seraphina and Emme attend the same school in Los Angeles and the former couple recently reunited to attend the performance of a school play alongside Garner.
Affleck also has maintained a good relationship with Garner - who he divorced in 2018 - and recently spent Thanksgiving with her and the kids.
Lopez, 55, was engaged to the Hollywood actor 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.
