The former couple were photographed together on Saturday morning leaving a residence in Brentwood. Dressed casually and both sporting sunglasses, the two appeared relaxed as they walked side by side, each carrying a bag to a nearby car. Despite ending their marriage years ago, the pair continue to maintain a friendly relationship.
Affleck and Garner were married for a decade before finalizing their divorce in 2015. They share three children — Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14 — and have long emphasized their commitment to co-parenting.
Earlier in the week, Garner offered rare insight into how their dynamic has evolved. Speaking on Bustle’s One Nightstand YouTube series with host Charlotte Owen, she reflected on the emotional adjustments that come with raising children across two homes. She acknowledged that when the kids are with her, she often ends up filling both parental roles.
According to Garner, co-parenting naturally means stepping into “mom and dad” mode at times — something she believes Affleck also does when the children stay with him. She described it as losing the balance of having both energies under one roof, calling it a kind of absence, but also noting that there are unexpected strengths that come from adapting to the situation.
In a recent interview with Marie Claire UK, Garner also revisited the end of their marriage, describing the breakup of their family as deeply painful. She admitted that navigating public scrutiny during that time was especially difficult, and that the loss of partnership and friendship was one of the hardest parts.
Still, Garner has consistently prioritized her children while balancing her Hollywood career, saying that although it wasn’t easy, it never felt like a sacrifice — just a responsibility she embraced wholeheartedly.
