Following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck has shifted his focus from the Hollywood spotlight to family time with ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three children. Sources close to Affleck reveal he's been enjoying this time away from the public eye, cherishing moments with Violet (19), Fin (15), and Samuel (12).
Affleck and Garner's co-parenting relationship is described as exceptionally strong, with open communication and mutual support. Garner reportedly prioritizes Affleck's well-being for the sake of their children, and there's no animosity between them. She's been a pillar of support for him and their children as they navigate the aftermath of his separation from Jennifer Lopez.
The two have a history of mutual support spanning two decades. Married for 13 years before divorcing in 2018, they've maintained a remarkable bond, co-parenting effectively and relying on each other during challenging times.
Sources indicate Affleck is in a positive headspace, focused on work and upcoming projects. He appears less stressed compared to recent months.
The family spent Thanksgiving together at Garner's Los Angeles home, and they also volunteered together at The Midnight Mission. While Affleck and Garner were seen together recently, Lopez shared photos and videos on social media, leading some to speculate about a "revenge dress" post.
Affleck's aversion to public scrutiny is well-documented. In Lopez's documentary, they discussed the immense pressure of tabloid attention, which strained their initial relationship. Affleck has also spoken about his discomfort with paparazzi, particularly when his children are involved.
Since the divorce announcement, Affleck has maintained a lower profile, even missing the premiere of "Unstoppable," a film produced by his company. His personal life has seen its share of challenges. After meeting Garner on the set of "Pearl Harbor," their romance blossomed during the filming of "Daredevil." Their 13-year marriage ended in 2018.
Despite their divorce, Garner has consistently supported Affleck, including during his struggles with alcoholism. Following his divorce from Garner, Affleck rekindled his relationship with Lopez, marrying her in 2022. However, this marriage also ended in divorce in August 2024. Amidst this latest separation, Affleck and Garner have continued to prioritize their children, even taking a trip to Japan together.
