In a surprising twist of events, Ben Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner were seen together boarding a private plane, just hours before Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce.
The sighting occurred on Tuesday, shortly after the former couple had dropped off their daughter, Violet, at Yale University in New Haven.
Affleck appeared to be in high spirits as he stepped off the plane, sporting a casual button-up shirt paired with black trousers, all while carrying a leather duffel bag.
Garner followed closely behind, dressed in green cargo pants and a simple black t-shirt, with a backpack slung over her shoulder.
Their 15-year-old daughter, Serafina, was also part of the family outing, proudly wearing a Yale sweatshirt.
The trio then hopped into a sleek black BMW, with Garner taking the front passenger seat.
It was a rare moment of unity for the former couple, who have managed to maintain a cordial relationship for the sake of their children.
However, the mood shifted dramatically later that day when Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, citing April 26 as the date of separation.
This filing was particularly poignant, as it fell on the second anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Georgia.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Lopez indicated that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement and requested the judge to waive spousal support.
The timeline of events suggests that Affleck and Lopez’s relationship, which rekindled in 2021 after a long hiatus, may have reached its breaking point.
Sources close to the situation revealed that both Affleck and Lopez have come to terms with their relationship’s end, recognizing that they were not meant to last.
It seems they’ve finally settled all unfinished business from their earlier romance.
Insiders also mentioned that Affleck, Lopez, and their combined five children are ready to move forward with their lives, putting months of speculation about their split behind them.
Following their daughter’s college drop-off, Affleck and Garner took to the skies, seemingly unfazed by the unfolding drama.
While Lopez shares twins Max and Emma with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, Affleck has three children—Violet, Serafina, and Samuel—with Garner.
Their blended family dynamics have always been a topic of interest, especially as they navigate co-parenting amidst personal upheavals.
Rumors of a breakup had been swirling for some time, particularly after Affleck and Lopez chose not to attend the Met Gala together in May.
