Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are proving that life after divorce doesn’t have to be tense.
The former couple was seen in Los Angeles enjoying time with their son Samuel, 14, looking happy and relaxed together.
They seemed more like a close-knit family than an ex, proving that even after years apart, they can put their children first.
Garner was seen walking lightly and put his arm around Samuel as they walked, while Affleck remained cool and collected, even stopping to eat some chicken nuggets.
All the stars’ fans have seen this side of them before, whether co-hosting Samuel’s birthday paintball parties or celebrating holidays.
Their children Violet, 20, and Fin, 17, also remain part of their close family circle.
Garner, however, also talked about what co-parenting really means, saying that it takes teamwork and balance to raise children in two homes.
The actress explained that both she and Affleck have to take on both roles at times, being mom and dad in different ways and that while divorce is difficult, they have learned to focus on what is important: their children.
Even though their personal lives have moved on with Garner, John Miller, and Affleck post-Jennifer Lopez, this outing shows that the two can still come together for their family and make it work.
