Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Had a Rare Public Outing at a Baseball Game

THE RUNDOWN

• Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were seen at Fenway Park.
• They were joined by their kids, Samuel and Seraphina.
• The former couple has a strong co-parenting relationship.

On Friday, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were seen with two of their kids, Samuel and Seraphina, at Fenway Park taking in a Red Sox game. The former couple could be seen sitting front row, chatting and laughing, with Affleck wearing a green team baseball cap. Garner had her hair up in a ponytail and was wearing a striped T-shirt.

The former couple have a strong co-parenting relationship and share another daughter, 19-year-old Violet. In a recent interview with GQ, Affleck shared, “I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well.”

Appearances with Garner in public, however, often lead to public speculation about a romantic reconciliation, which Affleck admitted was a “headache more than anything else.”

Garner is currently in a relationship with businessman John Miller, and they were last seen together sharing a kiss in June. In mid-February, a source told Us Weekly that Miller does not have an issue with Garner spending time with Affleck.

“Everything is fine with John and Jen,” the source said. “Those close to them haven’t heard of any issues.”

Affleck was most recently linked to Jennifer Lopez, who filed for divorce from the actor in August 2024 on what would have been their two-year wedding anniversary. Lopez has two children as well, twins Emme and Max, and they made an effort to combine families during their marriage. In May 2025, Lopez told El País how she broke the news to them that she and Affleck were separating.

“I said, ‘I promise you, this is a difficult time, but you’re going to see that I’ll come out the other side stronger and better,’” Lopez recalled. “I promised them that, and I did it. And they feel it now. That gives me a great sense of peace in my life. I’m happier that I’m a step further along than I was a year ago, two years ago, three years ago….I’m proud of myself for that, and I’m proud that I was able to navigate my children through difficult times, that they’re stronger and better because of it.”

“Everybody goes through hard times in their life. And it’s what you do in those moments that really does define you,” she stressed. “Not the relationship, not the man: What defines you is what you’re doing with the experiences that you’re faced with. I take those experiences—whether they’re good or bad—and I bind them.”
