Jennifer Garner paid tribute to ex Ben Affleck on Father's Day via social media.
The exes — who share Violet, 19, Fin (née Seraphina), 16, and Samuel, 13 — separated in 2015 and finalized their divorce three years later.

Ben Affleck Is Supportive of His Ex-Wife's Romance With John Miller
Jennifer Garner is dating businessman John Miller, which Ben Affleck is reportedly 'supportive' of.
After the Oscar winner's split from ex-wife Jennifer Lopez last year, he and the Elektra lead sparked reconciliation rumors when Ben was spotted with his arm around the mom-of-three's waist as they played paintball at their son's birthday party. However, their relationship is strictly platonic, as the 13 Going on 30 actress is still dating John Miller — something Ben is "supportive" of, a source stated.
An insider also denied allegations that the Yes Day star was having "issues" with her beau — whom she's been with on and off since 2018 — over her relationship with her former husband.

The Oscar winner raved that his co-parenting relationship with Jennifer Garner is 'great.'
A separate insider gushed over the exes' dynamic, telling a news outlet, "Their relationship has evolved into a strong friendship. Jen is a grounding and trusting force in Ben’s life.”
"Their bond is the strongest that it’s ever been," they insisted.

Inside Ben Affleck's Life as a Single Dad
Ben Affleck and Jen Garner co-parent three children together.
While the mom-of-three is still going strong with her boyfriend, 47, an insider told a publication, "Ben isn’t rushing into any serious relationship at this stage of his life, but he hasn’t ruled out dating."
"His new friends, since getting sober, include a lot of AA and Al-anon members. So, while not everyone is sober, the women he’s meeting know more about navigating a relationship with a member of the sober community," they spilled. "He’s met some very accomplished women through the 12-step program, and as far as I know, no one he’s serious about."
Affleck and Lopez, 55, split in August 2024 after two years of marriage, with their divorce being finalized in early 2025. They previously got engaged in the early 2000s but called it off, not getting back together until 2021.
