However, both Lopez and Affleck have been spotted with each other's children, and fans have started wondering if the couple would be expanding the family which children of their own.

Jennifer Lopez Was Not in a Hurry to Introduce Her Twins to Ben Affleck

When Lopez and Affleck's dating rumors emerged, the "Hustlers" actress had just broken off her engagement with Alex Rodriguez, and the "Gone Girl" actor had ended things with his girlfriend, Ana de Armas, after also going through a long divorce with Garner.

Closer Weekly reported that a source said that the history that Lopez and Affleck shared made them good friends, but the connection they had never died.

In the beginning, the insider revealed that the singer and the actor were "just having" and seeing where things go, but their relationship kept getting stronger.

Although Lopez was more than willing to reconcile with her ex of more than 20 years, she was not in a hurry to introduce her twins to Affleck.

The source continued to state that Lopez wanted to build her relationship with Affleck before involving her children. She also knew the actor was good with children but reportedly said it could all wait for the right time.

Additionally, Lopez rekindled with the father of three after ending a two-year engagement with Rodgriguez. During this time, the former baseball player and entertainer brought their children together and formed close relationships.

Closer Weekly reported that Rodriguez's daughters, Natasha, 16, and Ella, 13, and Lopez's twins were heartbroken by their split since they built a tight bond over the four years their parents were together.

When Lopez and Affleck finally made their relationship official, things started to fall into place, and the reluctance to connect with their children faded.

After going public with their reconciliation, Lopez had an exclusive interview with People and gushed over her new life with Affleck.

The actress said she was happier than ever but revealed to have been working hard to find inner peace, which all seemed like a dream at some point.

Lopez felt blessed to have found the love she had lost, and the opportunity to have a second chance at it was too rare for the singer to let go. Not only that, but the "Maid in Manhatten" was purely grateful to finally be with someone she loved and was proud to be with.

The "Marry Me" star continued to express that she and Affleck were so happy that they did not want anything from the past to interfere with their special bond. Lopez said their love is very sacred, and they will do anything to protect it.

When questioned about the kids and how they have adjusted to her new relationship, the mother of two admitted that it could be a scary process for many parents, but Lopez said she believed love would conquer all. "When you are in a good, healthy relationship, everyone around you benefits," the singer said.

Affleck made his first appearance with his son Samuel and Lopez's daughter Emme to support his wife for receiving the Icon Awards at the iHeart Radio Music Awards.

When Bennifer decided to walk down the aisle, they knew it would be just as much of a big step for their children. So the couple wanted their children to feel included in the process as much as possible.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Children Had Important Roles at Their Wedding

Lopez and Affleck's initial wedding ceremony included the singer's daughter Emme and one of the actor's three children; Violet, reported People. A source told people that Lopez and Affleck loved their Las Vegas wedding; it was private and everything they wanted.

Ryan Wolfe, one of the few attendees of the wedding, gave Page Six exclusive insight into the ceremony. It was all impromptu because Wolfe revealed that the A-list couple showed up at the chapel and 9 p.m. and asked if the minister had time for one more wedding.

They came prepared and looked stunning. Per Page Six, the minister was not only available, but he also said he loved the ceremony. It was full of "laughs, smiles, and tears," said the minister.

Wolfe said Affleck gasped when he saw his bride walk down the aisle. "You could definitely tell he was just in the moment," added Wolfe.

Wolfe also told Page Six that Affleck and Lopez's vows were special and uniquely written for them and their growing love for one another.

Everyone in the chapel reportedly loved the ceremony, including the couple's teenagers. Wolfe said he could tell that Affleck and Lopez's children were close because of all the excitement they brought to the room.

When the big moment came, and the Hollywood stars were announced husband and wife, the two teenagers reportedly jumped with excitement and hugged each other.

However, the couple had a bigger celebration in Georgia with friends and family, and this ceremony was special to Lopez and Affleck because of their children's roles.

Lopez told People that the kids were a big part of their wedding. The song she walked down the aisle to, "The Thing We've Handed Down" is all about the mystery of children.

The song was particularly special because their 2004 breakup did not even leave them imagining of reconciliation of this sort. Therefore, after 20 years apart, Lopez and Affleck were not only happy to have still created a beautiful union for themselves but their children as well.

Lopez looked back at their perspective on love as young people and now stepping into an adult relationship and said their love for each other as a family was more than each could bring to their union.

Their marriage will not only be kept strong by the connection they share, but by the love they embrace as a family. Lopez said, "We weren't only marrying one another; we were marrying these children into a new family."

Lopez also added that their children were the only ones allowed to stand up for them at their wedding party, and the actress said she felt honored and grateful that they did.

Lopez and Affleck have put in a lot of effort to bring their children close; however, individually, the actors have built a connection with one another's kids.

Affleck and his children were reportedly spotted after sources revealed that Lopez and her husband would live at her house, stated Hollywood Life.

According to Hollywood Life, Lopez and Affleck feel it is the right house for them. However, the actors will remodel the house to make it feel like a fresh start.

Reports also stated that the blended family had turned this into a huge family project, where all the kids get to custom design their rooms.

As the couple renovates the Lopez house to make it feel like theirs, fans speculate that the A-list couple could consider having a child together.

However, what tickled these speculations was Lopez and Affleck's appearance at the Rulf Lauren show. While fans gushed over how beautiful the couple looked, some people thought they could have spotted a baby bump on the actress.

Facebook comments were filled with the same suspicions. Some fans pointed out that Lopez was 53, which meant conceiving could be more complicated; however, the option of IVF was brought up.

Whether the couple decides to expand their family, Lopez and Affleck are happy to live the life they both want finally. All the Bennifer fans hope their relationship lasts forever.
