Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck shared the love as they celebrated Mother’s Day by bringing both their mothers together.
The 53-year-old singer and actress — who attended the premiere of her new movie The Mother on Wednesday — was joined by her actor-writer-director husband, 50, as they stepped out with their moms in Los Angeles for some holiday festivities.
It appeared to be a family affair with their children from previous marriages as Jennifer’s twins Emme and Max, 15, got out of an SUV with her, as did Ben’s middle child Seraphina, 14.
It is not clear whether his eldest daughter Violet, 17, or youngest son Samuel, 11, were part of the group.
The loving family outing comes after Jennifer and Ben looked tense at last week’s premiere for The Mother, but a source close to the couple told DailyMail.com they are “in an incredibly good place” at the moment and are not arguing. had on the red carpet.

The Armageddon star and his wife seemed perfectly at ease among their blended family, a stark contrast to the apparent discomfort they seemed to display just days earlier at the premiere of Jennifer’s new film The Mother.
However, a source close to the couple clarified to DailyMail.com that their stressed faces were a reaction to the stress of the red carpet, not an indication that they were fighting as some observers speculated.
“The story that they fight all the time is false,” the source said.
They even added that the lovebirds are “in an incredibly good place, very loving and supportive of each other.”
The two may have been worried about post-red carpet plans, as new footage from the premiere showed them “talking about where to meet the rest of their family after the pre-screening carpet.”
All three of Ben’s children from his marriage to Jennifer Garner and both of Jennifer’s twins joined them to watch the film after the adults posed for photographers.
A lip reader for DailyMail.com also confirmed that Ben and Jennifer were just talking about practicality when they seemed to have a combative look on their faces.

Ben now has his own movie out, although it seems to have attracted significantly fewer viewers than Jennifer’s movie.
His new thriller Hypnotic, directed by Spy Kids, Sin City and Once Upon A Time In Mexico director Robert Rodriguez, received mediocre reviews and placed sixth at the weekend box office grossing $2.3 million, according to deadline.
That’s against a $70 million budget, and it’s unlikely to benefit the movie as it received little promotional spending.
However, The Mother tops the Netflix rankings in several countries.
