Jennifer Lopez has opened up about the 'blessings' of her new blended family after tying the knot with her longtime love Ben Affleck last year.
The 53-year-old actress and singer gushed about becoming a stepmother to the 50-year-old Oscar winner's three children — Violet, 17; Seraphina, 14; and Samuel, 10 — while speaking with Extra at the premiere of her new romantic comedy Shotgun Wedding on Wednesday.
Ben also became the stepfather of her twins Emme and Max, 14, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

'We moved in together, the kids moved in together. So it’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition. But at the same time, like, all your dreams coming true and it’s just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year, I think, since my kids were born,' gushed.
