Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted laughing and chatting during a paintball outing with their kids.
The exes giggled outside of a paintball park in Los Angeles on Sunday instead of attending the star-studded Academy Awards.
Affleck and Garner, both 52, kept close as they schmoozed and appeared to enjoy each other’s company.
The “13 Going on 30” actress wore baggy denim overalls and a navy crewneck long-sleeve top and had her shiny brunette hair pulled back in a ponytail.
The “Argo” star, who was spotted beaming as he spent time with Garner, looked casual in blue jeans and a green button-down shirt layered under a coordinating jacket. He accessorized with brown lace-up boots.
The duo participated in the game and were seen wearing protective gear as they fired off rounds of paint-filled bullets while hiding together behind a structure.
Their son Samuel, who turned 13 last week, was seen at the park, but it is unclear whether his siblings, Violet, 19, and Seraphina, 16, were also there.
Affleck and Garner have continued to amicably co-parent their children since divorcing in 2018.
The “Daredevil” co-stars tied the knot in 2005 and separated in 2015 after 10 years of marriage.
In January, an insider told Page Six that Affleck and Garner have been “spending more time together than ever” since he divorced Jennifer Lopez after two years of marriage.
The Oscar winner was notably spotted driving to the “Alias” alum’s home after he was forced to evacuate his $20.5 million Pacific Palisades mansion due to the horrific wildfires that spread across LA in early January.
We’re told Affleck and Garner have grown closer “particularly since Ben’s divorce from [Lopez] and with the LA fires and everything going on.”
“They have found themselves leaning on each other more than ever,” the insider said, adding that they have a “close bond” and are “very grateful that they have such an amazing relationship.”
Affleck and Garner are on such good terms that they linked up on Valentine’s Day last month for some family time.
The former couple also celebrated Thanksgiving together, and Affleck was invited to the family’s Christmas festivities at Garner’s home the following month.
While Affleck is seemingly single at the moment, Garner has been in a relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018.
