Mother’s Day can present unique challenges for celebrities, particularly those with blended families, but Ben Affleck appears to navigate it with grace. On Sunday, Ben was seen visiting his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, the mother of their three children, demonstrating a strong commitment to co-parenting.
Photographs obtained by The Daily Mail show Ben arriving at Jennifer’s home in Brentwood to drop off their youngest child, Sam, joining their two other children, Violet and Fin. While it remains unclear if Ben stayed for some family time or left soon after, it is heartening to see their cooperative approach to parenting. Reports from Us Weekly also mentioned that flowers were delivered to Jennifer later in the day, although the sender was not confirmed.
Ben and Jennifer have maintained a supportive co-parenting relationship since their split in 2015, finalizing their divorce three years later. The duo has been observed attending family events together and celebrating holidays amicably, earning them respect as a co-parenting team in the public eye. For instance, in a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute on Instagram in 2021, Ben expressed his gratitude for Jennifer, stating that they were the “luckiest parents in the world” and praised her efforts in raising their children.
In a 2020 interview, Ben highlighted his respect for Jennifer, acknowledging the challenges of their past marriage while emphasizing the importance of showing respect and cooperation for the sake of their children. Five years after their split, their co-parenting relationship seems as robust as ever. In a recent GQ interview, Ben praised Jennifer as “a really good co-parent and partner,” reaffirming the foundation they’ve built for their family.
This positive narrative around their relationship offers hope that co-parenting, even after a divorce, can foster a nurturing environment for children, emphasizing respect and collaboration.
