On February 22, Jennifer Lopez took to Instagram to celebrate the birthday of her twins Emme Muniz and Max Muniz. “Happy birthday to my beautiful, brilliant coconuts … You bring so much joy and happiness to my heart and soul,” she wrote in the caption alongside a video that featured photos and clips of special moments with the kids. Ben Affleck was briefly featured in the montage, and it offered insight into the “Way Back” actor’s relationship with his step kids. Lopez added one group photo in the clip which featured herself, the twins, and Affleck posing together. The birthday post also included an adorable snap of Max sound asleep in Affleck’s arms
Not long after that birthday post, the “Tender Bar” star spent some quality time with Emme. The pair were photographed out on a shopping excursion together in photos published by Page Six in April 2023. Snaps showed Emme bursting out in laughter as they walked down the street with their stepdad, while both of them held shopping bags. It seemed to be a bonding moment for Affleck and his stepkid, as neither Lopez nor Max came along. The “Town” director looked to be enjoying the one-on-one time with Emme.
