Emme Is Besties with Ben Affleck's Daughter

The transition to being a family after Ben and Lopez's union seemed to have gone smoothly for all their children. The kids seem to get along with each other. Although Emme gets along with the entire Affleck-Garner brood, a special bond is said to have already formed between Emme and Seraphina.

The new siblings have already been sighted having a day out on several occasions, mostly in the company of their parents. Apparently, the duo has a lot in common. One of the most noticeable things is their fashion taste which looks quite similar on many levels. They are both into casual jeans and large shoes.

Besides fashion choices, a source also informed Life & Style that Emme and Seraphina enjoy similar music and are "definitely besties." With only a one-year age gap between them, they are basically the same age, and it looks like that has also helped. Their parents are amazed at how well and quickly their bond has developed.

Interestingly, it is not just the new Mr & Mrs. Afflect who were delighted by the newly formed friendship. Ben's ex-wife, Garner, is also pleased that her daughter, Seraphina, has found a friend in Emme. Overall, all five kids seem to look out for each other, which has helped form a good dynamic in the blended family.

Jennifer Lopez Introduced Emme as "They" during the LA Dodgers Blue Diamond Gala

Emme has performed on stage with their mother on a number of occasions, including in the prestigious halftime show at the Super Bowl in 2020. However, one of their performances together in June 2022 made headlines, not for the performance itself but for how the mother of two introduced Emme. Lopez said:

"I asked them to sing with me all the time but they won't so this is a very special occasion. They are very very busy, booked, pricey, they cost me when they come out. But they are worth every single penny cause they are my favorite duet partner of all time."

After their heartwarming introduction by Jennifer Lopez, some fans appeared surprised when Emme appeared on stage, holding a rainbow-colored microphone and singing Christina Perri's hit song, "A Thousand Years." Still, this was an incredible way to announce her daughter's gender-neutral identity to the world.

The teenager has a lot of support from their very influential parents and large family, which now boasts eight siblings after her mother's recent marriage. Their father, Marc Anthony, occasionally shares photos of his daughter on social media accounts, telling Emme how proud he is of them.
