Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner News: Would-Be Estranged Couple Maintains Amicable Relationship
Despite Ben Affleck's relationship with new girlfriend Lindsay Shookus reportedly going strong, he and soon-to-be-estranged wife Jennifer Garner maintain their friendly relationship as the two were even spotted together attending a school function for their kids recently.
Just a couple of days after attending the 2017 Emmy's Awards last Sunday, where Affleck escorted Shookus, executive producer of "Saturday Night Live," the actor was spotted together with Garner at the school of their children for a certain function on Wednesday. According to reports, the two were seen garbed in their casual getup as they walked side-by-side within the premises of the school.
To recall, it was in June 2015 when Affleck and Garner announced their separation. Despite this, the couple managed to co-habit in their Los Angeles property to give their children — Violet, 11, Samuel, 5, and Seraphina Rose, 8 — the normal parenting they need and deserve.

While many thought that their setup would lead to an eventual reconciliation, many fans were saddened when it was reported last April that the two were finally filing for divorce. Nonetheless, despite their marriage ending in shambles, both Affleck and Garner vow to maintain a harmonious relationship even just for the sake of their children at least.
"We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time," the would-be estranged said in a joint statement after filing for divorce.
Meanwhile, People reports that the relationship of Affleck and Shookus, whose relationship became public just three months after Affleck and Garner coordinated their divorce, are going strong. While it's true that the two have been friends for a long time now, a source of the publication has revealed that their new status as lovers is completely new for them. Reportedly, while the two originally wanted to take things slow, the relationship just evolved faster than they thought.
"The friendship's been going on for a very long time but this is newer waters for them. They've been trying to take it slow but it's progressing quickly. Their feelings are strong," a source told People.
