Ben Affleck is allegedly on the brink of divorce from wife Jennifer Lopez. However, he still has his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, to lean on. The exes were spotted out this week during a sweet family outing with and the actor’s mother, Chris Boldt. Affleck and Garner’s connection runs deep. Not only were they married for several years, but they also share three children together: Violet, Fin, and Samuel. This means that they are linked together for life and will always be family. Thankfully, they seem to get along great.
On Tuesday, Garner and Affleck reunited to celebrate their son Samuel’s last day of school, and Boldt was there to get in on the sweet family fun. Garner and Boldt had a great reunion as well, and they were photographed hugging each other as they happily chatted in Los Angeles, per OK! Magazine.
Meanwhile, Ben Affleck’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, was nowhere to be seen during the family event. The couple have been dominating headlines as their marriage is reportedly crumbling. Affleck is said to have moved out of the home he once shared with JLo. All the while, the actor and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, are said to be closer than ever. Garner is reportedly worried for Affleck and wants to be there for him during this difficult time.
“Jen can’t stand by and do nothing. That’s not in her nature,” an insider previously told the outlet. “She has dropped everything to make sure Ben doesn’t spiral out of control again. At the end of the day, Ben is still the father of their children, and she will help him however she can.”
The source also confessed that Garner blames Lopez for putting Affleck under immense pressure with her very public lifestyle. She allegedly thinks her ex-husband struggles with the attention and is worried it could cause him to break.
Despite his marriage struggles with Jennifer Lopez, it seems that Ben Affleck can always depend on Jennifer Garner. The pair are a great example of friendship and co-parenting following divorce.
