Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have demonstrated their commitment to family by spending quality time together, more than a decade after their divorce. The former couple was spotted enjoying a game at Fenway Park on July 11, where the Boston Red Sox triumphed over the Tampa Bay Rays, alongside their two youngest children. Their eldest, 19-year-old Violet Affleck, was not present at the game.
During the broadcast, NESN commentator Dave O’Brien praised the family dynamics, stating, “Great Red Sox family right there, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their kids.” Clad in smiles, the two were seen engaged in warm conversation while seated together with their children.
Affleck’s connection to the Red Sox runs deep; he grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and has been a lifelong supporter of the team. Garner and Affleck, who were married from 2005 to 2018, have consistently shown a healthy approach to co-parenting following their split. Their amicable relationship is often cited as a prominent example of “conscious uncoupling.”
Reflecting on their past, the couple announced their divorce with a joint statement in June 2015, emphasizing love and friendship. Garner has publicly supported Affleck, even after he faced backlash for his remarks about their marriage during an Academy Award acceptance speech for “Argo.” She interpreted his words as a testament to the genuine nature of their relationship.
The couple’s ability to maintain a positive co-parenting relationship sends an encouraging message about the potential for families to thrive even after the end of a romantic relationship. Their presence at the game and the love they show for their children exemplify how shared experiences can foster family bonds, regardless of past differences.
