Jennifer Lopez is loving up on her fiancé for being a wonderful father. On Sunday, June 19, Father's Day, JLo gave a special shoutout to Ben Affleck on social media.
However, she recently shared in detail how the "Justice League" actor has a heartwarming bond with her kids, especially her son, Maximilian David Muñiz.
Jennifer Lopez's Son & Ben Affleck Have A Sweet Bond
In her exclusive newsletter "On The JLo," the "Hustlers" star gave her die-hard fans a glimpse into her thoughts about Father's Day celebration.
The triple-threat entertainer shared several lovely photos of the two special father figures in her life, her father, David Lopez, and Ben Affleck. However, she gave a special dedication to Affleck even though he wasn't the father of her kids.
JLo showered praises on the love of her life, writing, "My other dedication this year is to my fiancé... I have had a front row seat to watching how you father for over a year now, and I have never seen more [sic] consistent, loving, and selfless father."
She continued, "And its [sic] not just to your own kids but also without obligation to mine as well. You show up and put them first always."
The "Love Don't Cost A Thing" singer described Affleck as "affectionate and engaged" with her kids during every time he spends with them and confessed that "it’s honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen."
She concluded the sweet message, writing, "Thank you for all you do for all of us. We appreciate and love you beyond measure."
Alongside the touching message, JLo included a video and several photos of the "Gone Girl" actor being the best father figure to her kids, particularly her 14-year-old son.
The award-winning singer uploaded an adorable video of Affleck and Maximilian lobbying for a Devon Rex cat to join the blended family.
In the clip, Affleck and Maximilian's friendship was on display as they laughed and made faces, trying to convince Lopez to allow a feline pet into the family.
Luckily, their persuasion worked as the "Marry Me" actress revealed that shortly after their lobbying, a cat named Hendrix joined their family.
Photos of the three-time Golden Globe winner meeting JLo's father and another of her, Affleck, and Maximilian in a hug group were included in the newsletter.
A Tribute To The 'Most Caring Daddy Ever'
Earlier in the day, the Billboard Icon Award winner posted a loving tribute to her fiancé on Instagram. JLo, who has been lowkey about posting since her reignited romance with the "Deep Water" star, decided to serenade fans with the sweetest video.
As The Blast reported, the 52-year-old uploaded a mash-up of their sweetest moments together, including one of them sharing an intimate kiss on a yacht.
She captioned the post, "Happy Father’s Day to the most caring, loving, affectionate, consistent, and selfless Daddy ever. #HappyFathersDay my love."
According to ET Online, the lovebirds spent the Father's Day weekend lounging at the poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Another Hollywood star, Matt Damon, was present at the VIP hotel with his family.
Both parties finally hung out together after a waiter reportedly informed each one of the other's presence. A source claimed both families had a great time swimming and laughing.

As you might know, Affleck and Lopez don't have children together but have a beautiful blended family consisting of five kids. Lopez shares her twins, Maximilian and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has two daughters, Violet and Seraphina, and son Samuel, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
A 'Fulfilling Family' Together
Father's Day comes days after the JLo Beauty founder opened up about starting a family with her man. As The Blast reported, the mother-of-two gushed about building a family with the love of her life during an appearance on "Good Morning America."
When talking about their rekindled relationship, JLo said, "this is the best time of my life. I love my career but nothing is more fulfilling to me than being able to build a family with someone who I love deeply and who is just as dedicated to family and each other as we can be."
The "Maid in Manhattan" star shared that she was excited about what the future holds for them but was choosing to stay in the moment and enjoy it as much as she could.
