“Daddy Appreciation Post ✨Happy Father’s Day Papa,” Lopez captioned the post of Affleck showing off his six-pack. “And Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Papas out there!! We love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know 🤍.”
“It brings tears to my eyes,” Lopez said as clips of the pair together started playing over the top. “He is honestly the best dad I have ever seen. He is so involved. He teaches me, about how to interact with the kids sometimes."
She continued, “He’s just so in tune and he’s just such a brilliant guy anyway, he’s so learned in so many things anyway, and you can just tell that when he had his kids he must have read every book and everything that you could possibly learn about children and he applies and he’s present, and that’s all you can ask, for a present, loving dad who cares and shows up every single day and that’s who he is.”
The montage ended with a throwback clip of the couple from when they first dated in the early 2000s. In the video, the pair is seen dressed in white and wearing sunglasses as they share a kiss and Lopez holds a puppy in her arms.
Lopez wasn’t the only one showing her appreciation for Affleck’s abilities as a dad. His ex-wifeJennifer Garneralso praisedThe Flashstar for how he parents their three kids — Samuel, 11,Seraphina, 14, andViolet, 17 — in a sweetInstagrampost.
Alongside a tribute to her own dad William, the actress, 51, added, “PS Shout out to BGA—no one loves their kids like you love ours, happy Father’s Day, Ben! X.”

Affleck is also a stepdad to Lopez’s twins Max and Emme, 15, who she shares with her musician ex-husbandMarc Anthony, 54.
While speaking toHoda Kotbon theTodayshow last month, Lopez raved about theAIRstar, saying, “Well,he’s a wonderful, wonderful father. And a father figure to [Max and Emme] as well, because he has his own three beautiful children, and then there’s us.”
“He’s fantastic. He really steps up to the challenge of what that is and what that means,” she continued of Affleck. “And they love him. They love him. And they appreciate him, and so do I.”
“One of the reasons I did it was, I’m divorced. I share custody. I don’t want to go to Austin and New Orleans and Georgia anymore and not see my kids,” explained the father of three.

“It just doesn’t work. These years are too important. If I miss them, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life,” he continued. “And then I thought, ‘OK, well, if I’m in Los Angeles and I’m in an office and I’m doing this work, I can step out for the basketball game or the jazz performance.’ So I protect those things.”
