Jennifer Lopez and Violet Affleck‘s relationship has reportedly deteriorated following Ben Affleck and JLo’s separation—with sources indicating Violet feels she was manipulated during the situation.
According to an insider who spoke with the Daily Mail, “Violet felt like she was used as a pawn so to speak during her dad’s split from JLo. Jen supported her daughter getting close to the singer because she always puts her children first. But as the divorce loomed, the fact that Violet was hanging out with JLo and wearing her clothes was odd to the family. So too was Lynda Lopez visiting Violet at college.”
The source elaborated that “Jen even let this slide, because she wants Violet to be happy and respects that, as an adult, she can choose who to spend her time with even if Jen does not necessarily agree.”
The situation shifted when “Violet started to see how upset her father was that their split was at the center of everything. Ben never said a word about JLo. Violet is highly intelligent and will ultimately always be a daddy’s girl. This is why you do not see her on public outings with JLo anymore.”
While these claims remain unverified by any family members (approach with skepticism), we have not seen Jennifer and Violet spotted together since last year.
