Lynda López, sister of Jennifer Lopez, recently visited Violet Affleck, the 18-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck, at Yale University amidst the separation between JLo and Affleck. On November 3, 53-year-old Lynda shared a series of photos on Instagram from her visit to New Haven, Connecticut, where the prestigious university campus is located.
In one of the most endearing photos, you can see Lynda posing next to Violet, who is wearing a white Patagonia jacket. The young woman, who appears to be enjoying her first year at Yale, smiles as she takes a selfie with Lynda, who looks at her affectionately, resting her hand on Violet's shoulder. In the caption, Lynda expressed her love for her niece-in-law with the message: "New Haven with my favorite Yalie!"
Although Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are no longer together, the family ties have not been broken
In addition to the photo with Violet, Lynda shared images of the campus, showing the autumn leaves and highlighting the cozy and nostalgic atmosphere of the season. Lynda's visit seems to reflect a strong family bond and support for Violet in this new stage of her university life, despite the challenges in the relationship between her sister Jennifer and Ben Affleck. This closeness is not new.
In July, Jennifer and Violet were seen enjoying a bike ride in the Hamptons, as well as walking together in Southampton. Despite the rumored tensions between JLo and Affleck, a source close to them told PEOPLE that Jennifer and Violet "really enjoy each other's company" and "both seem very happy to spend time together and live in the moment."
In fact, López has shared other moments with Violet on social media. In a July Instagram Stories video, Jennifer could be seen on a car ride with Violet and her friend Cassidey Fralin, enjoying the summer. The actress decorated the video with a sticker that said "summertime" and added the background music of "Girls" by Kid LAROI.
This bond between Jennifer and Violet, strengthened with the support of Lynda, suggests that, regardless of the situation between JLo and Ben, both families seek to maintain a close and positive relationship, prioritizing Violet’s happiness and stability during this college stage.
