• Jennifer Garner posted a photo with her Dad on Father's Day and congratulated the father of her kids, Ben Affleck, in the caption of her post.
• Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez shared photos with her husband on the same occasion that grabbed people's attention differently.
• Jennifer Lopez dedicated her Father's Day post to Affleck, but she shares children with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. She had honored him on the same occasion a few times in the previous years.

Netizens saw celebrities celebrating Father's Day 2023 by posting photos of their dads on social media and writing heartfelt captions recalling memories from their childhood.

The "13 Going on 30" actress, Jennifer Garner, also took this as an opportunity to honor her father, William Garner. She posted a photo with him that she took in a church, dressed in jeans and a button-down shirt.

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!"

The actress' post has over 241,000 likes, and the numbers are increasing. Netizens appreciated her for honoring Affleck more than four years after their divorce.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez wished her husband, Affleck, a happy Father's Day, but netizens reacted differently to her Instagram post. They openly expressed their thoughts in the comments section.

Why Was J.Lo Called 'Narcissistic' for Her Congratulations to Ben Affleck?

The "On The Floor" singer tied the knot with Affleck in an intimate ceremony in July 2022. Since then, the couple has been posting photos together on social media, keeping their fans updated about their lives.

On this Father's Day, a carousel post dedicated to Affleck surfaced on Lopez's Instagram. She captioned it "Daddy Appreciation Post," featuring a topless image of Affleck as the first photo.

"Happy Father's Day, Papa," Lopez continued before congratulating all the "amazing Papas." Although her post has received more than 2.5 million likes in 2 days, some comments under the post suggest netizens weren't delighted to read her tribute.

"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.
