Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner arrive together for same event Jennifer Lopez attends separately amid divorce
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted together again at an event also attended by his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez.
They were photographed arriving for the nighttime event in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Friday.
Exes Affleck and Garner, both 52, attended with their 15-year-old child, Seraphina.
They were all dressed casually for the outing, with the “Argo” star wearing jeans, a distressed red graphic T-shirt and a maroon, sherpa-lined jacket.
They arrived with their 15-year-old, Seraphina.
The “13 Going on 30” star wore a black coat paired with raw-hem blue jeans and black shoes.
Seraphina looked cozy in an all-black ensemble.
Affleck and Garner also share 18-year-old daughter Violet, who is currently in her freshman year at Yale University, and 12-year-old son Samuel.
Lopez, meanwhile, attended the event with her 16-year-old Emme and some friends.
The “Marry Me” actress, 55, looked comfy but chic in a belted jumpsuit paired with neutral-colored pumps.
Emme, who has a twin named Max, dressed in a black graphic tee paired with baggy shorts and a dark gray hoodie.
Both parties appeared to be in good spirits and were spotted smiling as they arrived in their respective groups.
The outing came a month after Affleck and Lopez narrowly missed each other in September as they worked from the same Los Angeles office building.
The “On the Floor” singer filed for divorce on Aug. 20 — exactly two years after they tied the knot in front of family and friends in Georgia.
She listed their date of separation as April 26 and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
Lopez spoke out about their divorce for the first time last week, telling Interview magazine that she felt her “whole f–king world exploded” when she and Affleck called it quits.
However, she also said she is “excited” to be single again following a mindset shift.
“You have to be complete, if you want something that’s more complete,” she explained. “You have to be good on your own.”
“I thought I learned that, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, ‘I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that,’” she continued.
“But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, ‘F–k, that is exactly what I needed.’
“‘Thank you, god. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry that you had to do this to me so many times. I should have learned it two or three times ago. I get it.’”
