Although Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are divorced, they’re still reportedly connected and support each other, but his first wife, Jennifer Garner, does not seem to be a fan of just how involved he still is.

New inside reports have come out that the actress is “uncomfortable” after Jennifer Lopez, who officially divorced from her ex Ben Affleck last year, invited their two children to her Las Vegas residency show. Although it looks like the kids still have yet to attend the show, inside sources say both Jennifer and Ben thought the show was too “racy” and were not pleased with the idea of inviting them.

Jennifer Lopez Allegedly Invited Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck's Kids To Her Las Vegas Show

The "Jenny From The Block" singer has been super busy these days, taking on all sorts of projects, from her film, Kiss Of The Spiderwoman, to promoting her beauty line. Now she's getting ready to start her new Las Vegas residency, "Jennifer Lopez: Up All Night Live in Las Vegas," which will be at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The show, which will open to the public in March, will feature elaborate choreography, dramatic costumes, and performances of her hit songs. Although the pop star officially divorced from her on-and-off again partner, Ben Affleck, the two are still seemingly supporting each other's work, including the residency show.

According to celebrity reporter, Rob Shuter, an insider revealed the Selena actress invited her ex's two kids, whom he shares with Jennifer Garner, Violet and Fin, to her show in Vegas.

"She invited Ben's kids," the insider told Shuter. "Despite everything they've been through, they're still a family unit in many ways. Jennifer genuinely cares about the kids, and Ben appreciates that — but Ben and Jennifer Garner aren't exactly thrilled by how wild the show is."

Jennifer Garner Is Reportedly 'Uncomfortable' With Her Children Going To JLo's Show

Despite their years of co-parenting and getting closer, the Once Upon A Farm founder is allegedly not super into the idea of her two kids, who are 20 and 17 years old, attending the Las Vegas show. This allegedly remains true even though 'JLo' has remained close with her and Ben's kids, who were once her stepkids.

"She's still very close with Ben's kids," the source added. "They reunited over the holidays, but some of the show's more provocative moments made both Ben and Jennifer Garner uncomfortable. It's a lot for them to take in."

No matter what tension the public has sensed between the Good Will Hunting star and his most recent ex-wife, sources have come forward to say that the two Jennifers still get along quite well, and keep in touch with each other and their children.

"Jennifer Garner reaches out to Jennifer Lopez about her kids," a source told People last year. "Jennifer Lopez reaches out to Jennifer Garner about her kids. They're friends. They have really found a great female support system and communicate."

So, although the Affleck kids might get stopped from attending their former stepmother's Las Vegas show, it doesn't necessarily mean the two families are going to cease communication.
