After paying tribute to her father in the caption, Jennifer explained she was dressed casually inside the church because she came from the airport and couldn't get her luggage. Then, she wrote a short note dedicated to the father of her three children, Ben Affleck:

"No one loves their kids like you love ours. Happy Father's Day, Ben!"

"Not that 'daddy" … narcissistic behavior at its best!" one netizen commented, while another wrote, "Only JLo would 'honor' someone by showing 50 pictures and videos with her and a long close-up shot of her face."

While some praised Affleck's muscular body, others didn't like what Lopez posted. "Anything for attention," a netizen said. "This lady's ridiculous. She posts stuff like this but gets mad when the paparazzi follow them around. Grow up, woman!"

Who Is the Father of Jennifer Lopez's Children?

If the "Shotgun Wedding" actress were to dedicate an Instagram post to the father of her children as Garner did, she would write Marc Anthony, her ex-husband's name in the caption.

The couple first met in 1998, soon after Lopez parted ways with her ex-husband. The couple reportedly began dating then, but their relationship did not become a serious commitment.

Lopez tied the knot with Cris Judd a few years later, while Anthony married Dayanara Torres. They lived separate lives before reuniting in 2004. Lopez tied the knot with Anthony the same year, away from the public eye, after dating for a short time.

According to sources, Lopez married Anthony in a "surprise" ceremony at her home. Her guests came to her house for a party, unaware that the actress had planned to marry her boyfriend the same day.

After tying the knot, the couple made several public appearances and even performed at the Grammy Awards. Their fans were excited to watch them work and tour together.

On February 22, 2008, Lopez and Anthony welcomed their twins, Emme and Max. During the early days of her pregnancy, the "If You Had My Love" singer tried to hide her pregnancy, but she later realized people would have guessed about it after looking at her "bubble gut."

Years after staying together, the news of the couple's split surfaced in July 2011, and they filed for divorce in April 2012. The couple reportedly argued and had irreconcilable differences that led them to part ways. While filing for divorce, Anthony requested joint custody of his twins.

Parting ways with her husband after about eight years was difficult for the singer. She later opened up about her experience, stating that her divorce allowed her to reevaluate things. She added:

"But I wouldn't change anything [about my past] because it made me who I am."

However, the couple's divorce wasn't the end of their interaction. In October 2016, Lopez and Anthony collaborated on a Spanish music album, and in November, they left everyone surprised by kissing in front of the crowd at the Latin Grammys.

The following year, Anthony and Lopez worked together on a music video. They were also spotted together on his birthday, and Lopez later shared her feelings about their relationship after working together, stating:

"It actually kind of repaired certain parts of our relationship that had been fractured from our marriage and our divorce, and it kind of made us friends again."

Lopez and Anthony shared a good relationship post their divorce while working professionally and co-parenting their twins. Lopez even honored the "Vivir Mi Vida" singer on Father's Day in 2019 and 2021.
