Affleck and Garner Enjoy Family Dinner Ahead of Daughter's College Move-in
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, the former Hollywood power couple, have once again demonstrated their amicable co-parenting skills with a pre-college send-off dinner for their eldest daughter, Violet. The pair, who were spotted enjoying a relaxed evening with their children in New Haven, Connecticut, just days before Violet's move into Yale University, are clearly prioritising their family amidst recent personal challenges.
The sighting comes just weeks after the family's reported trip to Japan, and as Violet prepares to embark on her freshman year at the esteemed Ivy League institution. Photos captured the former couple deeply engaged in conversation, radiating happiness and smiles alongside their daughters, Violet and Seraphina. Garner opted for a casual look in a striped tee and jeans, while Affleck sported an unbuttoned green shirt over a grey tee and khakis. Violet, meanwhile, showcased a comfy maxi dress, and Seraphina dressed comfortably in a graphic tee and cargo shorts.
The family's outing evokes memories of Violet's high school graduation earlier this year, where Garner's emotional selfies from the event captivated the public. Rumours of Violet attending Yale intensified after she was spotted wearing the university's merchandise.
While Affleck has been demonstrably focused on family, his wife, Jennifer Lopez, has been maintaining a low profile. The couple, who tied the knot following a rekindled romance, have reportedly been living separate lives since May, with their shared home currently on the market. Speculation surrounding the potential end of their relationship has been rife, with sources suggesting Lopez is struggling to come to terms with the situation and feeling "humiliated".
A source close to the situation told Fox Digital that Affleck and Garner "are best friend exes and the epitome of good co-parenting." Garner is also believed to play a significant role in the reconciliation efforts between Affleck and Lopez, highlighting the ongoing bond between the former couple.
As Affleck celebrates a milestone birthday and navigates personal challenges, his priorities remain clear: his children. The "Accountant" star's dedication to his family shines through in his actions, showcasing a commitment to navigating difficult circumstances with grace and a focus on the wellbeing of his children.
