Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner have a friendly chat as they meet up in Santa Monica

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been amicably co-parenting their three children since splitting up eight years ago. 

And the duo were the picture of mature, friendly exes as they met up in Santa Monica on Thursday. 

The exes shared a few words that prompted a smile from the actress as they stood by a parked car. 

Jennifer, 51, flashed a bright grin as she spoke with her ex-husband, who is now married to Jennifer Lopez. The Alias actress was the picture of fall fashion with her navy jacket, jeans, and colorful platform trainers.

A warm beverage kept her hydrated for the outing.

Ben, 51, was looking smart and trendy in a textured blue jacket, slacks, and slick Nikes.

During their 13 year-long marriage, Ben and Jennifer welcomed three children together – daughters Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and son Samuel, 11.

They wed in 2005, split in 2015, and their divorce was finalized in 2018.

Since then, they have both moved on with new partners – Ben with his new wife Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer with boyfriend John Miller.

Earlier this month, Jennifer revealed she is feeling more confident than ever thanks to Ben.

When talking to Vogue to promote her new Beso Balm from JLo Beauty, the Jenny From The Block singer said that he pushes her to make herself feel valued, and she appreciates that.

‘Ben wants me to understand my worth and know my value,’ began the chart-topping singer.

‘I feel even more relaxed and comfortable, which makes me feel even more beautiful than I have ever felt with someone else,’ said the star, who was previously married to Marc Anthony and engaged to Alex Rodriguez.

‘I’m finally at the point in my life where I love every part of myself unapologetically,’ she shared with the fashion bible.

‘Every part of me, my body, my voice, my choices, even like my mistakes. All of it made me who I am and got me to where I am today,’ noted the star.

The looker has been busy these days as she plugs her beauty line and the alcoholic beverage Delola.

She also has the new album This Is Me… Now and is finishing up the film Atlas about an AI soldier who has determined that the only way to end war is to end humanity.
