Jennifer Garner and her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, continue keeping their family together, even years after their divorce. The former couple share three kids, and a source claims they plan to spend Christmas the same way they spent Thanksgiving — under the same roof, with a familiar routine. Garner and Affleck’s lives look different now, but they still come together on occasion for their children.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner will spend Christmas together, claims source
A source exclusively told PEOPLE that Ben Affleck is welcome at Jennifer Garner’s home for the holiday. The insider claimed, “Just like they celebrated Thanksgiving together, Ben is invited to celebrate Christmas with Jen and the kids too. They just have this nice routine now that works for everyone.” Moreover, Affleck reportedly spends a lot of time at Garner’s home because of the kids, with the source explaining, “It makes everyone happy. Jen’s still dating John.”
Garner and Affleck ended their marriage in 2015 and finalized the divorce in 2018. Since then, they have both moved on. Garner has been with John Miller for several years, while Affleck married Jennifer Lopez before she filed for divorce in 2024. Even with all the changes, the two parents keep their focus on keeping it steady for their children.
A source recently told PEOPLE that they “get along and really support each other.” While Affleck continues to focus on work and his health, he wants to be present for his kids. The insider noted, “Jen’s his biggest cheerleader. It took them years to get to this point, but Jen never gave up on him.”
Affleck also spoke proudly about their children during a film premiere in October. He said he felt grateful for his family and called their kids the joy of his life. Now, with Christmas approaching, the plan shows how far Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have come: they are just two parents keeping holiday traditions intact, the environment calm for their children, and their family steady even as they move forward separately.
