As most new moms are after giving birth, Lopez wasn’t so happy with her body. So, she called celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, who helped her get back in shape. Over the years, Anderson has taught the actress to embrace and love every version of her body.

The Possibility of an Affleck-Lopez Child
Affleck and Garner have three kids, but the actress revealed in 2012 that her then-husband wanted more kids. However, Garner said she wasn’t anticipating having more kids as she hadn’t realized how much more work was needed to raise three kids.

Lopez said she wanted to have more kids, especially if that was God’s plan for her. She added that she would try and was open to the idea.
