Despite being in the midst of a divorce, the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has always been more than cordial. The two got together to enjoy the holiday season with their family. Although most of the gifts were for the children, there was one detail that showed that Affleck still knows and thinks about Jennifer Lopez.
The 'Justice League' actor took his ex-wife's tastes into account when choosing her gift. He certainly went for originality and exclusivity to surprise the artist once again. Ben Affleck gave her a Marlon Brando autographed book from the West Hollywood store. According to a source close to both of them, JLo is a big fan of the 'Godfather' actor.

"Ben gave the book to Jennifer because she is a fan, and also her Super Bowl outfit was inspired by Marlon Brando," reveals the same source to PageSix. In addition, he claims that the ex-couple is in continuous contact when it comes to issues of their children, despite the fact that romantically there is no interest on either side.
"The gifts were mostly for each other's children, but they also exchanged some small things," the source added. "It was nothing over the top, just a gesture to celebrate the holidays. Ben and Jennifer have remained friends despite the ongoing divorce process," he explains about their reasons for arranging a meeting over Christmas.
In any case, this latest rapprochement does not change the intentions of either of them and the divorce proceedings are still going ahead, as they agreed during the last vestiges of their relationship.
