On Valentine’s Day, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner reunited to pick up their 11-year-old son, Samuel. Despite their divorce in 2018, the former couple continues to co-parent their children, including two daughters, Violet (18) and Seraphina (15).
Affleck and Garner were spotted arriving separately in Los Angeles before meeting up with their youngest child. Affleck, 51, was casually dressed in a blue crewneck sweater, jeans, and Nike sneakers, holding his signature Dunkin’ iced coffee. Garner, 51, wore a Valentine’s Day-themed white T-shirt with the words “You Are Loved,” wide-leg pants, sneakers, sunglasses, and carried a black coat.
Both Hollywood stars appeared to be in good spirits, showcasing cheerful expressions as they made their way to their son. Affleck and Garner have maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship, even blending their families with Affleck’s new wife, Jennifer Lopez.
Affleck and Lopez rekindled their early 2000s romance in 2021 and got married a year later. Affleck has taken on a fatherly role with Lopez’s 15-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her previous marriage with Marc Anthony.
In a rare comment about their private family life, Garner referred to their co-parenting situation as “amazing” in a 2022 interview with Vogue. She mentioned working well with both Affleck and Lopez, emphasizing their ability to collaborate effectively for the sake of their children.
Lopez has also praised Affleck’s parenting skills, calling him a “present, loving dad” who is deeply connected with their children. She highlighted Affleck’s dedication to learning about parenting and applying that knowledge to ensure he is actively involved in their lives.
The ongoing friendship and collaboration between Affleck, Garner, and Lopez present a positive example of successful co-parenting and blended families in the public eye.
