    Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 's kids aren't splitting apart just because of their parents decision to do so.

    Lopez, 55, and her estranged husband's combined five kids "hope to stay friends and in each other's lives' in the wake of their split," the insider recently spilled to a news publication less than one month after the split was confirmed.

    In the wake of their marital demise, all Lopez and Affleck, 52, want is for their children to know "how loved they are and they will be supported on all sides as they navigate their new normal," the confidante continued.

    As for how the "Let's Get Loud" hitmaker and the Air star — whose official date of separation was cited as April 26 in Lopez's divorce documents — plan to move forward after the end of their marriage, the source noted: "Jennifer and Ben are both staying focused on work with current projects and new endeavors. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for everyone, but all parties are doing their best."

    Meanwhile, Affleck and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner , have "already figured out a healthy balance in the co-parenting space," the insider added regarding the parents-of-three. "They are both very supportive of one another and always will be."

    The Argo actor was married to Garner from 2005-2018. Affleck and the 13 Going on 30 star announced their split in 2015 but didn't finalize their divorce until a few years later.

    Affleck had initially been engaged to Lopez prior to tying the knot with the Elektra actress almost two decades ago, however, they had called off their plans to marry by early 2004.
