Ben Affleck seems to be in a cheery mood now, especially because he gets to be with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their three kids — Violet, Fin (previously known as Seraphina) and Samuel — just in time for Christmas.

Affleck and Lopez have been a steady presence in the lives of each other’s kids in the last few years, so it makes sense that they would make the effort for Affleck’s three kids: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 and Lopez’s two kids:16-year-old twins Max and Emme.

What was expected to be Jennifer Lopez's year became filled with heartbreak, business flops, and career missteps.
