“Just because she’s not with Ben, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about his kids. She always cared about them,” adds the insider. “She spent months looking for the perfect house for their blended family last year.”
The source notes that the Hustlers actress stopped by Affleck’s rental home in Brentwood on Sunday, Aug. 11, while he was there. Earlier in the day, she brought his son Samuel to the mall.
A urce previously told PEOPLE on Aug. 6 that Lopez and Affleck hadn’t seen each other “in weeks.” Added that source, “They’re moving on separately. Jennifer is trying to find a new home to start fresh.”
The couple has spent most of the summer apart as Lopez has been vacationing in both Europe and the Hamptons, New York while Ben was filming his upcoming sequel The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles.
Last month, the couple were on separate coasts for both their two-year anniversary and Lopez’s birth

“He thrives when he’s busy and he’s been working nonstop,” the source said. “The kids are still off from school. He spends a lot of time with them, too.”
