Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Reunite After Jennifer Lopez Wedding: 'Co-Parenting Goals!'
Ben Affleck, 49, returned from his Paris honeymoon with Jennifer Lopez, 53, and to make sure none of his children with ex Jennifer Garner does not feel alienated despite this new chapter in his life, he spent quality time with his son Samuel, age 10.
Photos published by Daily Mail depict the actor and his youngest child leaving a local Pacific Palisades pool on July 31 while holding hands. Garner was also photographed in the pool with a friend.
Affleck was dressed in a plaid shirt, a gray T-shirt, and pants despite the growing weather in Los Angeles. As they walked to the car, he gently held Samuel's belongings.
Probably worried about how they are going to be reported, Affleck and Garner did not converse publicly outside the pool as Samuel departed with his father.
Considering how smoothly the father-son date went, Hollywood Life described the couple as pro at co-parenting!
The previous couple of weeks have been extremely hectic for Affleck. Affleck and J.Lo were married in Las Vegas on July 16 before departing for a honeymoon in Paris. Affleck proposed to the Marry Me singer with a magnificent 8.50-carat green diamond just three months before to their wedding.
Emme and Max, both aged 14, joined the couple on their Parisian honeymoon, along with Seraphina, Affleck's middle child, aged 13. Affleck has already built a "special bond" with J.Lo's twins.
Despite only being recently married, sources have it that Affleck and Lopez have no trouble with each other's pasts, especially with the kids they share with their exes. After all, they are both grown and understood the situation. More importantly, they both love kids!
"Ben and Jennifer both adore having their kids around. It might be unconventional to bring them on the honeymoon, but it makes total sense for them," a source told Hollywood Life. "They're both so busy, that whenever they get downtime, they really want their kids with them. And this marriage is about more than just them, they've joined their families so why not celebrate it as one big happy family."
Wedding festivities for Affleck and J.Lo are likely not ended. In the following weeks, the pair is reportedly preparing a huge wedding celebration for their friends and family at Affleck's 87-acre Georgia estate in Riceboro.
