Lopez also posted a throwback photo of her own father to the Instagram story, and wrote, “Happy Father’s Day Daddy.” She included a heart emoji with both Father’s Day posts. Lopez’s dad, David Lopez, was married to her mom for 33 years before they split in 1999, according to People Magazine.
The Father’s Day post came as Affleck was spotted visiting Garner, the mother of his three children, that same day, according to Daily Mail. The post and visit also come in the midst of ongoing headlines indicating that Affleck and Lopez are hurtling toward divorce, although they have not confirmed this.

Daily Mail reported that Affleck spent at least part of Father’s Day with Garner, despite the affectionate post from Lopez.
Garner and Affleck share three children together; Lopez has two kids with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. According to Daily Mail, Garner has moved on and is dating businessman John Miller, who, according to a source, isn’t thrilled about the time she is spending with Affleck.
“He cares deeply for Ben and sympathizes with what he is going through with Jennifer, but that doesn’t mean Jen should be the one to fix her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife. That makes no sense to anyone,” the source told Daily Mail.
The source added to Daily Mail, “Jen is such a caring and wonderful woman and mother and there is nothing but a deep friendship and bond between her and Ben.”
