Ben Affleck was spotted out with his wife, Jennifer Lopez, and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, on a rare joint outing with their kids. They were all at a school event with their children, photographed outside together after attending the musical performance. Jennifer Garner was seen walking alongside her kids, 14-year-old Seraphina and 11-year-old Samuel.
Ben and his wife were not too far behind with her 15-year-old, Emme. Ben and his ex-wife also share another daughter together, 18-year-old Violet.
Ben and Jennifer Garner were married from 2005 to 2018. Though they first met on the set of Pearl Harbor, their relationship didn't begin until four years later when they costarred in Daredevil in 2003. By 2004, their friendship became romantic.
They wed in 2005, and welcomed their three children after. In 2015, however, they separated and finalized their divorce three years later in 2018. They have continued to have a good co-parenting relationship.

Ben and Jennifer Lopez, on the other hand, met in 2002 and were engaged but split in 2004. At the time that Ben went on to marry and start a family with Jennifer Garner, the "Dance Again" singer married Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, and they welcomed their twins, Max and Emme.
In 2021, Ben and Jennifer Lopez were spotted publicly together, which sparked relationship rumors. It wasn't long after that they confirmed they were seeing each other again, and by the next year, the couple was engaged.
In July 2022, the pair got married. "It's a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other," Jennifer Lopez wrote in her newsletter at the time. "We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions."
"We have been in the game in the public eye long enough to know who we are as people and what really matters and what doesn't matter. We have kids and we respect each other," she continued. "We really live our lives in a way we can be proud of and our kids can be proud of you. We're just operating from a place of love and respect for everyone in our lives and that is very important to us. We know what the truth is [and] we hold it sacred."
Ben and Jennifer Garner have continued to keep an amicable co-parenting relationship, which is also easy since he gets along with her boyfriend, John Miller. Jennifer Garner and John have been dating on and off since 2018.
“Ben is super down-to-earth, and so is John,” a source shared with Us Weekly in November 2023. “They have a mutual respect for each other.” Another source says that Jennifer Lopez had a hand in helping Ben and his ex-wife get to a healthy space. “The drama of the past and the emotions of divorce are long gone and they are all making it work,” the source told the Daily Mail in September 2023. “It is really a very happy co-parenting situation."
