Jennifer Lopez Wants ‘Quality Time’ with Ben Affleck’s Kids Before Back to School, Violet to College: Source

“Just because she’s not with Ben, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about his kids. She always cared about them,” adds the insider.

“She spent months looking for the perfect house for their blended family last year.”

The source notes that the Hustlers actress stopped by Affleck’s rental home in Brentwood on Sunday, Aug. 11, while he was there.

Earlier in the day, she brought his son Samuel to the mall. The couple has spent most of the summer apart as Lopez has been vacationing in both Europe and the Hamptons, New York while Ben was filming his upcoming sequel The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles.

A source told PEOPLE at the time that Lopez and Violet “really enjoy each other’s company.”

“They both seem so happy to be spending this time together, and are just enjoying the moment,” said the insider.
