Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner spent quality time together at son Samuel’s recent paintball birthday party.
In a photo obtained by TMZ and published on Tuesday, March 4, Affleck, 52, was seen flashing a wide grin at Garner, also 52, while attending “a paintball bash for their son.”
The former couple, who were married from June 2005 to October 2018 and share three children — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13 — appeared relaxed in each other’s company, walking beside one another while clutching paintball gear including camouflage vests and face masks.
Affleck, whose divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized in January, has attended a string of family outings in recent months, most recently appearing courtside with Samuel at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on February 6 to witness the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors, 120-112.

In one snap, Garner cheekily touched one of Miller’s back pants pockets as he reached his hand into the other.
