Ben Affleck reunited with Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez at son Samuel’s play in Los Angeles

Ben Affleck was recently seen attending his son Samuel’s school play in Los Angeles, appearing alongside both of his former wives, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez.

The outing offered a rare public moment where Affleck navigated interactions with both exes while supporting his son.

Affleck was photographed walking with Samuel and Garner in the parking lot before the play, appearing engaged with his son while Garner remained attentive on his other side. Meanwhile, Lopez was spotted nearby conversing with other parents and children, though Affleck did not approach her during the event.

The images suggest a careful navigation of co-parenting dynamics, with both exes maintaining cordial interactions for their children’s sake. Lopez’s presence highlights the continuing bond she shares with Affleck’s children, even as the actor prioritizes separate engagements with each ex.

Affleck and Lopez finalized their divorce in 2025, ending their high-profile relationship while maintaining a focus on co-parenting and family relationships. Observers noted that this public outing demonstrates an effort to balance personal boundaries with shared family responsibilities.

Samuel’s play served as a backdrop for this rare convergence of Hollywood exes, underscoring the complexities of co-parenting in the public eye while showing that both Garner and Lopez continue to be involved in their children’s lives.
