Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck made headlines this holiday season by coming together with their children for a special family celebration. For the first time in years, the former couple—who divorced in 2015—spent Christmas as a family with their children Violet (19), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12). Sources close to the family shared with People magazine that the focus was on creating a meaningful holiday for the kids, with Garner drawing on the family traditions she experienced growing up.
Though Garner and Affleck’s relationship remains platonic, they have been making an effort to co-parent effectively, especially since Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez earlier in 2024. In addition to spending Christmas together, the former couple was seen enjoying breakfast earlier in December and volunteering at The Midnight Mission’s Thanksgiving Street Fair, where they helped provide meals to those in need.
Garner, who has moved on to a relationship with John Miller, values maintaining a cooperative and supportive environment for their children. She continues to prioritize family unity and ensures that the kids have quality time with both parents, regardless of their personal lives. Despite her romantic life with Miller, she remains committed to keeping a strong family structure for the benefit of her children.
Sources emphasized that Garner’s main goal is her children’s happiness, and she is grateful for the positive relationship she and Affleck have cultivated, adding that they enjoy the time they spend together as a family.
