While his present wife Jennifer Lopez was conspicuously absent among persistent accusations of marital conflict, Ben Affleck was all smiles as he reunited with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner to see his daughter Violet off to college.

Recent pictures caught the 52-year-old actor savoring a laid-back supper with Garner, also 52, together with Violet, 18, and their younger kid Fin, 15, in New Haven, Connecticut. Presumably attending Yale University in the same town is Violet. Ben seemed content on the outing, despite rumors about his marriage to Lopez, notably without his wedding ring.

Lopez is close with Violet, but she missed the historic event. Rather, before walking together, Ben and his ex-wife had a laid-back dinner outside. Ben, wearing pants and a button-down, was seen hugging Fin warmly; Garner kept things laid back in a striped top and jeans.

The moment of family unity arises amid speculations that Affleck and Lopez are headed for divorce. Reportedly living apart are the pair who got married in 2022. While Lopez stays at their Beverly Hills property, now on the market for $68 million, Affleck recently bought a $20.5 million house in the Pacific Palisades.

Lopez visited Ben on his birthday but did not publicly honor him, which stoked more rumors. She has also been seen hanging around with friends, which fuels rumors of a future separation.
