Jennifer Lopez opened up about the confidence her 'newly blended family' has when it comes to sharing what is on their mind, both socially and politically.
Lopez praised Garner as"an amazing co-parent" and said she and Affleck"work really well together." Unlike Garner, Lopez's co-parent, Anthony, lives on the opposite side of the country, so she says the transition into a blended family"is a process that needs to be handled with so much care."
"But it’s going really well so far," she added."What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.”
Lopez also touched on the privilege her children have — privilege she was not afforded when growing up in a working-class Puerto Rican home in the Bronx. She said she hopes that"modeling hard work" will help to keep her children"grounded." “I wanted to give them a life that I didn’t have, but they don’t get to have the experience of something that is also helpful, which is developing that survivalist mentality," she explained. “I really wanted to find a better way than having to put the fear in them. It’s like, I can hold a boundary with you but also be your ally.
" you of the things you need to know about life and how to love somebody and how to care for people," she added,"that in your 20s and 30s, as you're doing your own thing, you can lose sight of."
