Jennifer Lopez is a pop icon who needs no introduction. Almost every person recognizes the American singer, actress, and dancer whose career is still thriving even after five decades in the entertainment industry.
As one of the most influential artists in the world, it’s only natural for J.Lo’s fans to take an interest in various aspects of her personal life beyond the cameras.
On top of that list is her relationship with the American actor/filmmaker and two-time Academy Award winner, Ben Affleck. With the pair reuniting after almost 20 years since their shocking 2003 split, fans’ best wishes and expectations for the couple soared to new heights!
So, what’s the biggest rumor surrounding Bennifer nowadays? Well, everyone is wondering, is Jennifer Lopez pregnant? I’ll be uncovering the truth in today’s article.
Are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Married?
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship has seen a lot of drama over the years, so it comes as no surprise that fans have come up with all sorts of speculations and theories regarding their romance.
The pair met back in 2001 on the set of a movie where their connection sparked almost immediately.
The A-list couple solidified their love over the two following years, with each partner showing their affection publicly using grand gestures such as J.Lo’s song Dear Ben and Affleck’s celebrating her winning an award with full-page in various magazines.
Unfortunately, the relentless scrutiny from the media caused a strain on the couple’s relationship and they decided to postpone the wedding only 3 days before the big date.
The breakup that followed was messy, to say the least, but let’s fast-forward to 2021; the year when Jennifer and Ben became part of each other’s lives once again. It was the epitome of a pandemic-encouraged rekindling of a past romance.
In April 2022, Jennifer shared the news of her engagement to Ben in her newsletter. She said that the proposal took her totally off guard and that she was speechless at how this fairytale was happening all over again.
Jennifer and Ben tied the knot in a private midnight ceremony in Las Vegas and surprised their fans with the announcement in the iconic singer’s newsletter. The sign-off was Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.

Are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Pregnant?
Now that the dream couple is finally together till death does their part, fans are going wild with their speculations and fantasies involving Bennifer. Many are anticipating Ben and Jenny’s next step as a married couple to be having a baby.
The news of Jennifer Lopez’s pregnancy started going viral in February 2023. To this day, the rumors are still going strong.
So is Jenny pregnant? The answer is no, she wasn’t pregnant in 2023 and she isn’t pregnant in 2024, at least as of the date of writing this article.
The news remains wishful thinking from fans or just the media trying to pump our entertaining news. Jennifer Lopez never hinted at the possibility of a baby on the way since she and Ben became a married couple.
Even in recent photos of the superstar, she appears to be in her typical, very fit physique. There are no signs of a baby bump or unusual weight gain to give the rumor any grounds.
In February 2024, Jennifer released a musical documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told where she tells her story as a person and performer. She and Ben also talk about their 2003 breakup and she didn’t hint at or look pregnant throughout the whole production.
Does Jennifer Lopez Have Kids?
While Jennifer Lopez isn’t pregnant right now nor has she had any kids with Ben Affleck, she is a mother.
Jennifer has lovely twin kids –a boy and a girl– with her ex-husband, American singer-songwriter Marc Anthony. Emme Maribel Muñiz and Maximilian David Muñiz were born in 2008, so they’re now teenagers who turn 16 in 2024.

This also makes Ben Affleck the twins’ step-dad, and he does share a close relationship with the pair.
Does Ben Affleck Have Kids?
While Ben Affleck doesn’t have kids with Jennifer Lopez, he’s already a father just as Jenny is a mother.
Ben, however, is a dad of three beautiful kids whom he co-parents with their mother and his ex-wife, American actress Jennifer Garner. Their names are Violet, Seraphina Rose, and Samuel, and they were born in 2005, 2009, and 2012 respectively.
This makes Jennifer Lopez their stepmom, and I’m glad to report that they all seem to be close and get along very well.
Does Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Want Kids Together?
Ben and Jen are currently very happy living with their blended family and have mentioned various times how much they feel blessed that get to share such an experience.
Since they’re already parents, it makes sense that they’re not against the idea of another kid. However, it seems they’re not actively pursuing a Bennifer baby at the moment.
Perhaps they’d like to focus more on nurturing their relationship as a couple before crowning it with a child.
