Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck reunite for son Samuel’s 14th birthday

Jennifer Affleck and Ben Affleck stepped out to celebrate their son Samuel’s 14th birthday, walking together at Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, Calif., on Saturday afternoon. They carried gear as Samuel and two friends followed; Garner kept her head down while Affleck looked straight ahead.

At times the pair roamed the property separately and Affleck was spotted alone. They wed in 2005 and separated in 2016, and also share daughters Violet, 20, and Seraphina, 17. Garner recently spoke about raising their children on the “One Nightstand” podcast: “When your kids grow up in two separate households, I become mom and dad, and he becomes dad and mom.

You kind of can’t help it, right? Because you don’t have the benefit of both sides, the yin and yang being in the same house, so you have to have a bit of both in the way you parent.” She added, “You also just learn, it’s made me let go and not focus so much on the bringing up.” The exes have continued to co-parent amicably, joining in family outings for birthdays and holidays.
