Unbreakable bonds

Although the separation of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck was a topic of conversation in the media, the relationship between their families seems to have remained intact.

Lynda’s visit to Yale is proof of this. The journalist, who lives in New York, has maintained a close relationship with Violet and her siblings, Seraphina and Samuel, who have grown up among the comings and goings of the adults around them.

For Violet, who until now had stayed away from public attention, this university period represents a new beginning.

A proud family

Recently, Jennifer Garner shared her pride in seeing her daughter take this step, highlighting how Violet’s move was an emotional moment for the entire family. Garner, who over the years has proven to be a committed mother, has shared in interviews that the process of preparing for college was as emotional as it was rewarding.
