In a public display outside their children’s school on Halloween, actors Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were observed engaged in what appeared to be a heated discussion, culminating in a minor car accident.
The former couple, who were married from 2005 to 2018 and share three children, were seen conversing intensely outside a Santa Monica school during a Halloween celebration for their children. The nature of their discussion was not disclosed to the public, but eyewitness accounts noted visible signs of distress on Garner’s part. Despite the apparent tension, the conversation seemed to reach a calmer resolution as Affleck was seen placing a comforting hand on Garner’s arm, and smiles were eventually exchanged.
The incident took a clumsy turn when Affleck later backed his black Mercedes-Benz into another vehicle in the school parking lot. The collision appeared to be minor, but Affleck’s frustration was evident as he inspected the damage. There have been no reports of injuries or significant damage to either vehicle involved.
This event comes on the heels of public sightings that suggest the ex-couple maintains a complex relationship. In a recent episode in Los Angeles, Affleck and Garner shared an affectionate moment in Affleck’s car, further illustrating the amicable nature of their co-parenting dynamic post-divorce.
Garner and Affleck have been in the public eye both during and after their marriage, garnering attention for their family life and career achievements. Affleck has made headlines most recently for his marriage to singer and actress Jennifer Lopez.
The specifics of their conversation remain private, and both Garner and Affleck have refrained from making public statements regarding the incident.
