After marrying Ben, she also became stepmother to the children he welcomed with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Garner was notable for her absence from Affleck’s Georgia wedding, with his brother Casey also refusing to attend after saying he had a previous parental commitment in Los Angeles. It’s been a turbulent month for Lopez, who is said to be at the center of crisis talks over her upcoming tour, with organizers keen to halt poor ticket sales to avoid embarrassment – but the singer and her manager refused, insiders said. Lopez will hit the road next month with a string of dates across North America in support of her ninth studio album, This is Me… Now.

The world has moved on.’
