Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner might just have the best divorce in Hollywood. The former couple share three children together: Violet, Fin, and Samuel. Although their marriage didn’t last, their friendship has endured over the years. Ben and Jen seem to have their co-parenting relationship figured out. They even spent Thanksgiving Day together as a family. However, after the festive celebration, Affleck was forced to get back to reality, which included navigating his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
According to The Daily Mail, following Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s Thanksgiving reunion, the two went their separate ways. Garner relished the time with her kids, especially oldest daughter Violet who was home from college. Garner celebrated Violet’s birthday with her. Meanwhile, Affleck headed back to work looking glum after his wonderful family weekend.
The Batman star was spotted heading to his office in Los Angeles as he sported a pair of dark pants, boots, and a button-up blue dress shirt. He added a tan coat over the top. He carried a black leather bag in his hand and wore a somber expression on his face.
Just days before, Affleck was seen smiling and looking as happy as ever as he, Garner, and their children volunteered to help feed 2,000 homeless people in LA before they went home to their own meal. Fans couldn’t help but notice how happy the actor looked alongside his former wife.

Radar Online reports that Affleck wants Garner to find him the perfect romantic partner, and she’s agreed. Jen allegedly wants to help her ex find a happy ending in his life. In addition, she’ll have the power to set him up with someone she likes and trusts, as that person will obviously be a part of her children’s lives.
He’s ready for something real, and he feels like Jennifer is great at cutting through the BS and sniffing out genuine people,” an insider stated. “She wants to see Ben happy, and loves that she’ll get to have a say because whoever he dates is going to be around her kids,” the source added.
It appears that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have each other’s backs. While Ben and JLo’s divorce rages on, she’s been there for him through it all. Despite their divorce, it looks like they have an unbreakable bond and are willing to do anything for the sake of their children. While some Hollywood divorces are ugly and drawn out like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s split, Ben and Jen have somehow figured out the secret formula to happiness.
