Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner raised a few eyebrows on Friday when they were photographed out and about in Los Angeles, not only because of the reunion itself, but because they showed up in virtually identical outfits.
Both the 53-year-old actor and his 54-year-old ex-wife stepped out in light blue sweaters and jeans, a coincidence that photographers caught and Just Jared published on 22 May.
Whether it was planned or just one of those creepy co-parenting moments, it made for a charming set of photos.
The couple have come a long way since their 2015 split, which ended a decade of marriage and a relationship that had its roots in Hollywood long before that.
They first met on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2000, reconnected during filming Daredevil in 2003, and began dating in 2004 before marrying the following year.
Together they have three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
Affleck told New York Times in 2020 that the divorce remained his biggest regret. “Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame,” he said.
Garner has been equally honest.
“The actual breaking up of a family is the hard part,” she shared Marie Claire UK earlier this year. “Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was difficult.”
