Jennifer Lopez gushes about husband Ben Affleck as a father

Together they raise five children in their mixed household.

And Jennifer Lopez gushed about her husband Ben Affleck’s parenting abilities during an appearance on The view on Thursday.

The pop sensation, 53, said watching Ben, 50, raise their children ‘brings tears to my eyes’.

‘He’s a great father. It brings tears to my eyes. He really is the best dad I’ve ever seen. He’s so involved, he teaches me how to deal with the kids sometimes.’

Jennifer called Ben the type of dad everyone would ask for — a “present, loving dad who cares.”

“He’s just so up to date, he’s such a brilliant guy anyway, like he’s learned so much, and you can just tell when he had his kids, he read every book and everything you could possibly learn about kids , and he applies for it and attends and that’s all you can ask for, is a gift, loving father who cares about you and who shows up every day, and that’s who he is.’

Jennifer and Ben combined their families after tying the knot last year – the Waiting For Tonight singer has 15-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, Samuel , 11 , from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner.

Now a mom of teens, Jennifer said it was hard to watch her kids begin to “isolate” from her.

“I’m experiencing this now, we’re all going through it for the first time with our own kids, and you’re like, ‘Oh, this is what she was talking about,'” she explained.

“This is when your kids won’t talk to you, and they kind of individualize you, and it’s all necessary, and intellectually I get it. But my heart! My heart!’

Outside of her home life, Jennifer’s film career has continued to flourish – she will star in the upcoming film The Mother, which will be released on Netflix on May 12.

In the action movie, Jennifer plays an assassin determined to do anything to keep her young daughter safe.

The role required a lot of fight scenes and Jennifer took on the challenge with a lot of training.

‘My heart!’ Now raising teens, Jennifer opened up about the internal conflict she feels as she watches her kids begin to “isolate” from her

“That was one where you really have to train a lot, where you really have to do the combat training and you have to do the sniper training… It was a lot of fun, but it’s a lot of work,” she said.

While Jennifer, now in her early 50s, wishes she had gotten more roles like this when she was a little younger, she still says it was an “empowering” experience.

And it’s funny, you know, I wish I’d gotten a lot of these kinds of roles that I’m getting now, funnily enough, when I was a little more, you know, spry.

‘A little younger, shall we say. And it’s exciting to be able to do it now, I think it’s really empowering for me and makes me feel strong and good.”

The Jenny From The Block singer described how her dance background helped her pick up the fighting routines.

“It was just regular fight training, but it was choreographed. You have to be efficient, I can’t fight eight hours a day. After an hour I’m like, OK!

“So they had to be really efficient and we choreographed almost like a dance, which is good for me because I’m a dancer, so I can take it one step at a time and I just learn from there.”
