Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have always been close co-parents as they’ve worked together to raise their three children after they went their separate ways in 2018. But now that Ben is married to someone else, how close is too close? Apparently, it’s how they were behaving in this newly obtained paparazzi video, because the footage of Ben and Jen sharing an intimate moment inside of his car is enough to make some fans call Jennifer a “homewrecker.” This definitely isn’t good …
Ben and Jennifer were seen chatting in a car.
According to Page Six, the exes were sharing an “affection” moment while in his car in Los Angeles on Friday, with their youngest daughter, 13-year-old Seraphina, sitting in the front seat.
In the footage, Jennifer can be seen leaning into the front seat to give Ben a hug.
Some don’t believe this was an innocent moment.

In fact, as OK! Magazine pointed out, some are even going so far as to call Jennifer a “homewrecker” on X (formerly known as Twitter), with one user writing, “Jennifer Garner is a homewrecking b—- and Ben Affleck is a cheating drunk. Let them toxic exes be together. JLO needs to grab all her money and run. This is not coparenting this is cheating.”
Another tweet read, “Oh Jennifer Lopez isn’t gonna like this one.”
J.Lo seems to be unbothered, though.

In fact, the very next day, she and Ben were photographed at a flea market together with their arms around each other, so it seems all is well for this Bennifer, anyway. Despite what the video may have looked like, these two still appear to be going strong.

They may no longer be romantically involved, but they do share three children. Along with Seraphina, Ben and Jennifer are also parents to 17-year-old daughter Violet and 11-year-old son Samuel, so they will be co-parenting together for quite some time. Hopefully, J.Lo is used to it by now!
Time will tell if their interaction was more than just friendly.

But given that Ben and J.Lo still seem to be in their honeymoon phase — and how hard he and Jennifer worked to create a peaceful co-parenting relationship — it would be surprising if things between the former spouses turned romantic.
At least, any time soon …
