Sources revealed to Page Six that Affleck felt “blessed” to spend the holiday with Garner and their three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. “Ben has a strong relationship with Jen that will never dissipate because they have a lot of history together and she's the mother of his kids,” an insider shared.
The insider continued, "They'll always be close because they share children together and maintain a friendly co-parenting relationship."
Body language expert Judi James told DailyMail.com that Affleck appeared “relaxed and in charge” during the outing, contrasting his recent public demeanor with Lopez.
"Both he and his ex-wife Jennifer are smiling here and apparently happy to be photographed, with none of the rejection signals Ben had tended to display towards photographers until recently."
The reunion comes months after Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August, ending their second marriage after two years. Despite their split, Lopez is channeling her energy into her career and her family, focusing on projects that inspire resilience and optimism.
