Jennifer Lopez Posts ‘Daddy Appreciation Post’ for Ben Affleck

• Jennifer Lopez posted an Instagram tribute to her husband Ben Affleck for Father’s Day.
• It included a shirtless selfie of Affleck and a video of Lopez praising his parenting.
• “Daddy appreciation post,” Lopez captioned the post. 

Jennifer Lopez didn’t hold back when celebrating her husband Ben Affleck on Father’s Day.

Lopez, 53, posted to Instagram to pay tribute Affleck, 50, on Sunday.

Affleck has three children — Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11 — with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and he is step-dad to Lopez’s twins who she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, Max and Emme, 15. 

The first photo in Lopez’s post was a shirtless mirror selfie Affleck took, showing off the tattoos on his arms.

“Daddy Appreciation Post,” she captioned the post. “Happy Father’s Day Papa.”

Lopez also went on to celebrate fathers in general in her caption: “And Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Papas out there!! We love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know.”

Lopez also included two selfies of her and Affleck snuggling in the post, as well as a video montage that included shots of Affleck, the couple together, and Lopez praising her husband’s parenting during a May appearance on “The View.”

“He’s an amazing dad,” she said of Affleck on “The View.” “It brings tears to my eyes.”

“He is honestly the best dad I’ve ever seen,” she went on to say. “He’s so involved. You know, he teaches me about how to kind of interact with the kids sometimes. He’s just so in tune, and he’s such a brilliant guy anyway. He’s so learned in so many things, and you can just tell when he had his kids he must have read every book and everything that you could possibly learn about children. And he applies it, and he’s present.

“That’s all you can ask,” she added. “For a present, loving dad who cares and shows up every single day. And that’s who he is.” 

Lopez and Affleck got married in Las Vegas in July 2022 with their children present, and they celebrated their union with a big wedding in August of the same year. 

The pair were first romantically linked in 2002 after meeting on the set of “Gigli,” and they announced they were engaged in November of the same year, as Insider previously reported.

They broke up in 2004, though they remained friendly as the years went on, praising each other’s work on multiple occasions. 

And after Lopez ended her relationship with Alex Rodriguez in April 2021, she and Affleck reconnected. They’ve been together ever since. 

When she announced she and Affleck got married in her newsletter in July 2022, Lopez acknowledged the time it took for the pair to find their way back to each other.

“We did it,” she wrote. “Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.”
