Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner REUNITE at 11-year-old son Samuel’s basketball game alongside their daughter Violet Affleck, 17, in Los Angeles after overcoming ‘drama of the past’

Ben Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner put on a united front as they reunited at their son Samuel’s basketball game at the Santa Monica Family YMCA on Saturday afternoon. 

As the family left the gym together, the Gone Girl star and actress, both 51, were seen catching up as she dropped off their little boy, 11, and daughter Violet Affleck, 17, to spend some quality time with their dad.

While speaking to his former spouse, the two-time Oscar winner spun a basketball on his fingertips as Samuel and his mother exchanged a hug goodbye.

For the laid-back occasion, Affleck, who is married to singer Jennifer Lopez, sported a ‘Jerry Remy Fight Club’ t-shirt and a pair of light-wash jeans.

‘JLO and Ben have had many talks about how she deals with [Anthony], and they all have been able to figure it out. It is actually inspiring and nice to see,’ they said.

Photographers caught Affleck and Garner meeting up in Los Angeles this week, before getting into his black Mercedes-Benz together.

Days earlier, they were seen sharing an affection moment together in his car.

He was pictured leaning his head on the 13 Going on 30 star’s shoulder as she gave him a hug.

Affleck and Garner initially met while working on films such as Pearl Harbor and Daredevil, in which they costarred. Garner was previously married to Scott Foley, and their marriage lasted from 2000 until 2004.

Following that split, the actress moved on with Affleck, with whom she tied the knot in Turks And Caicos in 2005.

The pair started their family with Violet’s birth, which took place that year, and they added Seraphina and Samuel to their family in 2009 and 2012, respectively.

They remained together until 2015, when they announced that they had separated, although they waited for three years before finalizing their divorce.
