Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have maintained a close friendship since finalizing their divorce in 2018, prioritizing their three children—Violet, Fin, and Samuel. Over the years, the two have consistently maintained a strong co-parenting, living in the same Brentwood neighbourhood in Los Angeles to make it easier to share time with their kids. Recent developments suggest their bond has grown even stronger amid Affleck’s ongoing divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
The former couple’s close relationship was on display during Thanksgiving in 2024, when they spent the holiday together at Garner’s home. Prior to their family dinner, they were spotted volunteering at Midnight Mission, where they helped feed 2,000 homeless and near-homeless individuals in the Los Angeles area.
