LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The relationship between Ben Affleck, 50, and his wife Jennifer Lopez's son Max is evidently great. The actor and his stepson, 14, were seen hugging and kissing as they left a studio in Los Angeles on Monday, December 19.

Max wore a gray sweatshirt, black jeans, and gray slip-on Vans shoes, while the 'Batman' actor was seen rocking a casual-cool look built around a stylish beige blazer, black pants, and gray, blue, and white Nike sneakers.

Max's arms were down at his sides as the 'Good Will Hunting' actor bent down to his height and hugged him while leaning in close to the side of his head, perhaps to give him a kiss or to murmur something to him.

Affleck and Max's meeting comes a few months after a source informed Hollywood Life that the 'Gone Girl' actor had helped Lopez tremendously with the kids when she was filming her newest science fiction thriller, 'Atlas'. "Ben has really been stepping up with the kids, driving them where they need to go and helping with their homework. Any downtime he gets he’s with the kids and Jennifer, he’s very zeroed in on being the best family man, it’s a role he loves."

Affleck and Lopez continue to embrace life with their blended family, but they also make sure to make time for each other. One of their most recent romantic moments was caught on camera during their holiday party last weekend when the lovebirds showed off their sparks when they sang a duet of John Legend's 'By Christmas Eve' at the fun-filled bash.



 

Lopez and Affleck got married on July 16, 2022. Recently, the 'On The Floor' singer told Vogue that Affleck was the one to rekindle their romance. "Obviously, we weren't trying to go out in public. But I never shied away from the fact, that for me, I always felt like there was a real love there, a true love there. People in my life know that he was a very, very special person in my life. When we reconnected, those feelings for me were still very real," she said.
