Former couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner appeared to be enjoying their latest outing together on Thursday, despite rumors of a dispute with Jennifer Lopez.

Garner and Affleck, both 51, were photographed hooking up in Santa Monica, California, on Thursday, November 9, and were all smiles and in high spirits.

Garner was dressed in a dark blue jacket and trousers, while Affleck was dressed in a light blue puffer jacket, a sweater, and beige slacks.

They have remained close as they co-parent their three children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. Affleck and Garner were frequently in the news due to the Oscar winner’s and his current wife Lopez’s rumored marital problems.

Lopez and Affleck, who married last year, have been in the spotlight due to the Gone Girl star’s private vehicle meetings with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Lopez, according to a new claim, is also angered by her husband’s ‘lazy’ disposition for not assisting her with housekeeping.

Garner and Affleck initially met on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2001, and three years later they reconnected. They married in June 2005 before starting a family. After a decade of marriage, Affleck and Garner announced their separation.

After calling it quits, they both openly moved on. In early 2021, the Argo director, who was previously engaged to Jennifer Lopez from 2002 to 2004, resumed his affair with the singer, 54.

Lopez stated that Affleck proposed in April 2022. They tied the knot three months later in Las Vegas with no delay. In August 2022, the couple celebrated their love once more with a grander wedding.
