Ben Affleck keeps his private life as private as possible, but over the weekend in Los Angeles, he reportedly lit up when a photographer brought up his ex, Jennifer Garner. Affleck<\/a> seemingly could not hide his smile when his ex-wife\u2019s name came up. Whatever the reason behind that smile, fans could not help but highlight how Affleck and Garner have managed to team up as co-parents, even as their lives have moved in different directions.<\/p>\n

Ben Affleck is unable to stop smiling after ex Jennifer Garner\u2019s name pops up \u2014 report<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail<\/a> reported that Ben Affleck flashed a wide grin at the mention of his ex, Jennifer Garner, during a brief exchange in LA.<\/p>\n

Notably, Garner<\/a> has had a big week in business after her \u201cOnce Upon A Farm\u201d food company launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO) at the New York Stock Exchange last week. According to the Daily Mail, the brand\u2019s value now sits near $845 million. This is much more than Affleck\u2019s estimated net worth, which is between $55 million and $150 million, as the outlet cited conflicting figures from Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth.<\/p>\n

Affleck and Garner married in 2005, announced their separation in 2015, and finalized their divorce in 2018. They share three children, including 20-year-old Violet, 17-year-old Fin, and 13-year-old Samuel. The Daily Mail reported that Samuel joined Garner at the NYSE on Friday for the IPO.<\/p>\n

Garner has spoken openly about why she joined \u201cOnce Upon A Farm\u201d as a co-founder in 2017, stating on Good Morning America in 2023, \u201cWe are trying to be an ally for moms.\u201d More recently, she told PEOPLE<\/a>, \u201cI just have so much heart for young parents and how much you want to do everything right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Affleck, too, has talked about parenting in the public eye. He told E! News<\/a> in January, \u201cYou put something on your children when you have a public life and that\u2019s complicated,\u201d adding, \u201cWe really want to give them room to figure out what they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together, Ben Affleck<\/a> and his ex, Jennifer Garner, have a positive outlook toward parenting. So, irrespective of why Affleck flashed a smile at the mention of Garner\u2019s name, they seem to make it work.<\/p>\n
