On July 13, J.Lo posted a video to her Instagram story that showed her, Violet, and a friend driving around in a car. The following day, the pair were spotted walking arm in arm as they headed to a restaurant together.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight shortly after the photos emerged online, an insider said that Violet had “gotten close” to Jennifer over the years, and that “maintaining that closeness is important to everyone” amid Jen and Ben’s marriage breakdown.

And Jennifer’s incredibly close relationship with her stepdaughter has been highlighted once again, with eagle-eyed fans pointing out that Violet was seemingly wearing one of J.Lo’s dresses in recent paparazzi photos.

Discussing the entire situation on a Reddit forum, people heaped praise on J.Lo for maintaining a relationship with her stepchildren despite what is reportedly going on between her and their father.
