Rumors have begun to stir that celeb couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez could be headed to Splitsville for a second time. The couple rekindled after Ben’s divorce in 2018.
But even amid the rumors, the couple proved that family comes first. The two were photographed out on May 30th. The occasion? According to PEOPLE, the couple were attending Ben’s daughter’s graduation in California.
Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez Reunite For Daughter’s Graduation
“Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 54, were spotted together in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 30, heading to festivities surrounding his daughter Violet’s high school graduation. The actor shares Violet, 18, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, along with Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12,” PEOPLE wrote.
“Affleck wore a suit and carried a basket with pink wrapping paper as Lopez, wearing sunglasses, walked by his side. His mother Chris Anne Boldt walked behind the pair on the street.”
Affleck, Garner Reflect on Life After Divorce
Actress Jennifer Garner was previously married to Affleck before his recent reunion with J-Lo. They also have three kids together. The famed couple split in 2018. However, Affleck was not back on the market for too long before he got back with his ex.
Some assumed Garner would be salty about Ben getting back with his ex not too long after a divorce. But one source says her primary concern is her kid’s happiness and Ben’s well-being.
“Jen realized that J. Lo isn’t as domineering as she assumed, and they both agree that the most important thing is the children’s happiness. They also are on the same page about a sober, happy, and healthy Ben benefiting everybody,” the source said.
In 2020 Affleck told PEOPLE that although he and Jennifer’s marriage did not work out, he still has a great deal of respect for her, especially as the mother of his children.
“Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult. Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not,” he said at the time.
“It’s important for my kids to know that I respect and care about Jen and she treats me the same way. I have a lot of respect and gratitude toward her. And I wish her the very best.”
