Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were recently spotted sharing a warm moment while enjoying a paintball outing with their 13-year-old son, Samuel. 

The former couple, who have maintained a strong co-parenting relationship since their 2015 split,

appeared to be in great spirits as they spent time together at Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, California.

A Playful Day with Their Son

Affleck and Garner, both 52, were seen enjoying the outdoor activity alongside their son.

While Samuel was off having fun with his friends, his parents stayed close together, chatting and laughing as they navigated the paintball course.

At one point, Affleck was spotted affectionately holding Garner around her waist while she was aiming at a target, and she didn’t seem to mind the embrace.

The friendly interaction between the two exes did not go unnoticed, especially given their recent history of spending more time together. Their bond appeared stronger than ever as they shared smiles and laughter throughout the day.

Affleck’s Unbreakable Bond with Garner

Affleck and Garner have always made it clear that their priority is their children. They share three kids—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13—and despite their divorce being finalized in 2018, they continue to co-parent in a way that many admire.

Sources close to the former couple have noted that they have been relying on each other more in recent months. This comes after Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized earlier this year. Reports suggest that the Gone Girl actor has been spending more time with Garner as they navigate their new chapter in life.

A History of Strong Co-Parenting

This isn’t the first time the exes have been seen enjoying each other’s company. Just last month, they spent time together with Samuel on Valentine’s Day, further showing their commitment to co-parenting. Earlier in the year, Affleck also sought refuge at Garner’s home when he had to evacuate his Pacific Palisades mansion due to the Los Angeles wildfires.

While some fans speculate whether Affleck and Garner’s growing closeness could hint at a possible romantic reconciliation, others believe it simply showcases their deep-rooted friendship and commitment to their children.

Jennifer Garner’s Relationship with John Miller

Meanwhile, Garner has been in a long-term relationship with businessman John Miller. The couple has been dating on and off for nearly seven years, though recent reports suggest Miller may not be entirely comfortable with Garner’s close relationship with Affleck.

Although Garner has managed to balance her romantic relationship with her co-parenting duties, sources claim that Miller has had concerns about how much time she and Affleck have been spending together. Whether this dynamic will affect her relationship with Miller remains to be seen.

Affleck’s New Chapter After Divorce from J.Lo

Affleck’s split from Jennifer Lopez earlier this year was one of the most talked-about celebrity breakups. The actor and singer rekindled their romance in 2021, nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement, and tied the knot in 2022. However, their marriage faced challenges, leading to a quiet and amicable separation.

Since his divorce, Affleck has been focusing on his work, his children, and maintaining a strong support system—including his ex-wife. His outing with Garner and Samuel is yet another example of how he continues to prioritize family despite the changes in his personal life.

Friendly Exes or Something More?

While Affleck and Garner’s affectionate interaction at the paintball park has sparked speculation, it’s important to remember that the two have always maintained a friendly relationship. Their ability to co-parent so effectively after their divorce has been praised by many, and moments like these only reinforce their strong bond.

Whether this paintball outing signals a deeper reconnection or is simply a reflection of their amicable relationship, one thing is clear—Affleck and Garner will always be in each other’s lives, ensuring their children feel loved and supported.
