Speaking with Hoda Kotb while promoting her upcoming Netflix film The Mother, the actress, 53, opened up about their relationship with her husband and their step-father Ben Affleck, 50.
Hoda said: "I love looking at images of you and your kids and Ben, because there's a certain way they look at Ben," to which JLo replied: "Yeah, they love Ben!"
"There's such a connection," Hoda continued, to which the singer responded: "He's a wonderful, wonderful father, and a father figure to them as well.

"He has his own three beautiful children, and us. He's fantastic, he really steps up to the challenge of what that is and what that means. They love him, and they appreciate him and so do I."
When the NBC host asked about how she was processing her kids growing up so quickly, she joked: "They're teenagers, and they're giving it to me!"

"And these kids have so much information, so much more than we had, so they're thinking and talking about things and life in so many different ways than I was thinking and talking when I was 15 or 16 years old."

Hoda, 58, is also a mom to young daughters Hope, six, and Haley, three, and discussed with Jennifer the idea that in their generation, they were more likely to follow the rules laid out for them.
"And they don't!" Jennifer asserted. "They're challenging everything and looking at everything, which is great for our world. I think they're going to change the world, if I'm being honest. They're going to make it so much better than what we did."
