Jennifer Lopez, the singer, actress, and businesswoman, recently shared a rare glimpse of her son Max on his 16th birthday. However, what truly caught the attention of fans was how much Max resembles his father, Marc Anthony.
Many couldn’t help but notice the uncanny resemblance, with one fan joking, “Jen’s genes did not even try.” “Omg!!! Max looks exactly like Marc Anthony. A clone,” a fan said of Max and his twin Emme, born in 2008.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced their pregnancy during a concert in Miami the previous year, and Lopez’s manager shared the news once the twins arrived.“Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled, and over the moon,” Lopez’s manager stated.

After seven years of marriage, in 2011, when the twins were four years old, the couple announced their separation and finalized their divorce in 2014.
“We have decided to end our marriage,” they said in a joint statement. “This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved, and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.”

Despite moving on romantically, Lopez and Anthony have maintained a strong co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children. In a recent interview, Lopez shared insights into her relationship with Anthony, stating, “Oh yeah, yeah, no, we’re like best friends, you know? We’re making an album right now.”

Affleck and Garner now amicably co-parent their three kids. On September 20, 2023, Garner was seen on an errand run with their middle child, born on January 6, 2009, and named Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.
The 51-year-old and Seraphina were seen leaving Brentwood County Mart on their recent outing. Garner was in matching leggings and a black crewneck sweatshirt. On her feet were blue Nike sneakers.
The actress’s daughter was in khaki cargo shorts, blue socks, and sneakers. She donned a red bomber jacket and a green T-shirt with the word “Fenway” written on the front, paying homage to her dad’s Boston roots.
Mother and daughter looked happy to be in each other’s company, especially the actress, who was all smiles. Fans also noticed how Seraphina looked so much like Affleck. They said the actor’s daughter has “Ben’s genes.” Another fan wrote, “She gave birth to a young Ben.” One fan said all of Garner’s three kids look like her, but Seraphina was “The only one that looks like her dad.
Lopez has also spent time with Affleck’s kids. In January 2023, she was seen attending Seraphina’s recital.
Fans also noticed the “Fenway” T-shirt and said it was a “great” one and that they loved it. “I bet that t-shirt was a present from her dad though,” a fan wrote. Another said they aspire to have Seraphina’s “vibe” and that she was so nice they couldn’t help but “love her.”
Seraphina has never been afraid of being seen in public with her family. She is often spotted at events with either her mom, dad, or her blended family. In November 2022, Seraphina and her father were seen having a lively conversation as they exited Petco in Los Angeles, California.
