Untangling Those Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Reconciliation Rumors
Ben Affleck Reunites With Exes Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner to Attend Kids’ Play
Ben Affleck isnāt interested in seeing about this girl.Ā
After the Justice League star was seen holding ex-wife Jennifer Garner close while at their son Samuelās 13th birthday party, there were speculations that their co-parenting relationship turned romantic. Their goodwill, however, is strictly platonic, according to multiple outlets.Ā Ā
With Affleck single once again following his split from Jennifer Lopez after two years of marriage, itās no surprise that his relationship with Garnerāwith whom he also shares kids Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15ācame into question following the March 2 party.Ā
During the festivities, Affleck had his arm around Garnerāwhom he was married to from 2005 to 2018āduring the paintball-themed celebration. But, multiple outlets emphasized that the pair are simply just good friends and focused on co-parenting.
E! News has reached out to Affleck and Garner’s reps and has not yet heard back.
Indeed, while Affleck and Lopez recently finalized their divorce, the 13 Going On 30 star has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018. Still, she and the Oscar winner have maintained a solid relationship since their 2015 separation. Along with being present at their kidsā celebrations like graduations and school performances, the exes also spent Thanksgiving volunteering in Los Angelesā Skid Row neighborhood.
“When you have children with somebody, you’re connected to them forever,” the Gone Girl actor told People in February 2020. āI’m very lucky she is the mother of my children. I’m very grateful and respectful of her. Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult. Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not.”
