Ben Affleck has reportedly found solace in his ex-wife Jennifer Garner as he navigates the end of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez.
The "Air" director's relationship with Lopez has come to an abrupt end after just two years. Lopez filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary, 20 August, marking a dramatic turn for the couple.
However, hours before the news of the divorce filing broke, Affleck was spotted returning to Los Angeles with Garner after dropping their eldest daughter, Violet, 18, off at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The former couple, who also share daughters Seraphina, 15, and son Samuel, 12, were seen leaving the airport together.
This recent reunion comes amidst reports that Affleck has been seeking support from Garner as he grapples with the complexities of his marriage with Lopez. Sources suggest that Affleck moved into a rental property closer to Garner, seeking guidance as he tried to navigate the relationship. While Garner reportedly offered support, there are whispers that she may have reached her limit, feeling "second" to Lopez during the marriage.
It remains unclear whether Affleck harbours any regrets about his decision to end his first marriage, but his recent actions suggest a concerted effort to maintain a strong bond with Garner.
A source close to the family has revealed that the couple's children are ready to move on from the split and are "okay" with their father's decision to end things with Lopez.
As Affleck and Lopez's high-profile divorce unfolds, the focus seems to shift towards family unity and the well-being of their children. While the Hollywood drama continues, it appears that the Affleck-Garner dynamic is shifting towards a renewed sense of support and co-parenting amidst the chaos.
