"Only time you see this man smile, when he's with this specific Jennifer ❤️❤️, [sic]" a third person noted. "I hope they get married again," another fan chimed in.
But not everyone agreed. "Ben looks like he doesn't want to be there, not a single eye contact to Jen, [sic]" one netizen observed. Another offered a more pragmatic take, saying, "Sometimes we're better off as friends with our ex spouses, especially when we have children together. 😌 [sic]"
Affleck and Garner, who were married from 2005 until finalizing their divorce in 2018, have remained close over the years, continuing to prioritize their children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, through regular family outings and joint appearances.
