It has been nine years since the separation of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, and 2 and a half years since Ben reunited with his current wife, Jennifer Lopez. The duo appears to have mastered their co-parenting approach, as evidenced by their recent joint attendance at a school event with J. Lo, affirming the positive reports about their harmonious blended family dynamic.
Page Six has shared images of the trio comprising the Argo actor, The Mother actress, and The Last Thing He Told Me star exiting a school following a children’s musical. Garner, clad in jeans and a gray sweater, is seen walking alongside her and Affleck’s 11-year-old son, Samuel, and 14-year-old daughter, Seraphina. Notably, their daughter Violet, aged 18, was not present in the pictures. Meanwhile, Ben and Jen followed suit, sporting casual attire with Affleck donning khakis paired with a button-down shirt over a t-shirt, and Lopez opting for white jeans matched with a white long-sleeve t-shirt. They were accompanied by Lopez’s 15-year-old daughter Emme, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. (Their other child, 15-year-old Max, was not in the frame.)
What Insiders Are Saying
According to a source cited by Entertainment Tonight in June 2023, Garner and Lopez maintain effective communication. The insider noted that the two mothers “are very cordial and they have a very healthy and functioning relationship,” emphasizing that the children are “learning and growing together as a new, extended family.”
Affleck and Garner are also reportedly in a good place, with the source informing ET that the former couple “are healthy in terms of coparenting” and are committed to fostering open communication to facilitate a smooth transition.
It comes as no surprise that these individuals share an amicable bond, given their shared commitment to prioritizing their children. As per a source quoted by Us Weekly in Nov. 2023, “Their children [are] the focus of those relationships.”
