Ben Affleck awkwardly reunites with exes Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner at their kids’ school play
Two’s company, three’s a crowd?
Ben Affleck was spotted in an awkward triangle with both of his ex-wives, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner, on Friday night, as Affleck and Garner’s child Seraphina and Lopez’s child Emme starred in a play together.
In photos obtained by Page Six, Affleck and the “13 Going on 30” star can be seen walking into a Los Angeles playhouse with their son Samuel, 13, while the singer appeared to arrive separately.

The “Waiting for Tonight” hitmaker, 56, was accompanied by her manager Benny Medina and her mother, Guadalupe, and was pictured chatting with other parents and kids.
She seemingly did not interact with her ex or Garner — at least not outside.
At one point, Lopez and Affleck, 53, were in eyeshot of each other, but the latter’s back was to her as they were talking to separate groups.

Affleck and Garner, 53, wed in 2005 and called it quits in 2015. Even after their split, the “Juno” actress continued to support her ex through his addiction battles and maintain a close co-parent relationship.
Following the “Gone Girl” star’s divorce, he reconnected with Lopez in 2021, who he was previously engaged to in 2002.

By July 2022, they were married and successfully blended their families. Lopez shares 17-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
In May 2024, news surfaced that they had been living separately and divorce rumors started to run rampant. Lopez officially filed to divorce Affleck on Aug. 20, 2024, after two years of marriage.
Back in March, Page Six exclusively reported that Lopez was “furious” over cozy photos of Affleck and Garner. A source told us that the dancer was “not happy with constantly seeing photos” of the two and they have been a “salt in the wound.”

That same month, another insider exclusively told Page Six that Affleck “would love another chance” with Garner, although she is in an on and off relationship with John Miller.
Despite any ill feelings Lopez may have towards her ex’s situation with his first wife, she does not let that get in the way of maintaining a relationship with his children.
Back in September, she took Samuel on a lunch and shopping outing, just the two of them.
