Ben Affleck (52) has chosen a special gift for Jennifer Lopez (55) despite the breakup.

The acting stars mainly gave gifts to “each other’s children”, but also surprised each other with “a few little things”. “It wasn’t anything excessive, but more of a gesture to celebrate the holidays,” the insider continued.
