Jennifer Garner got some mother-and-son time into her schedule over the weekend.
In photos obtained by OK!, Garner, 52, can be seen on a walk with her son Samuel, 12, and their dog on Sunday, October 20 in Santa Monica, California.
The duo kept it casual with their outfits. The 13 Going on 30 star paired a dark short-sleeved shirt and leggings with sunglasses and sneakers. Samuel, who held the pup on a blue leash, opted for flannel pants, crocs, and a grey Yale t-shirt — the Ivy League institution where his older sister Violet is reportedly studying.
The actress shares Samuel with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. The pair, who were married from 2005 to 2018, also share kids Violet, 18, and Fin, 15.
The Sunday stroll comes only two days after TMZ reported the Daredevil actress was at the same event as Affleck, 52, and his soon-to-be ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez. It is unknown whether the three Hollywood stars all interacted at the Brentwood, California event, but it seems Garner and the Good Will Hunting star were seemingly on good terms as they walked in side by side.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from the Gone Girl actor on Tuesday, August 20, on the two-year anniversary of their second wedding ceremony. After initially parting ways in the early 2000s, the two A-listers reconciled their romance in 2021. The former power couple wed in July 2022 in a Las Vegas ceremony, followed by a second reception in Georgia.
Affleck has been spotted out with his children multiple times amid his divorce from the Grammy-nominated singer. In September, the Massachusetts native was photographed outside a Spirit Halloween store in Los Angeles with his middle child, Fin.
The "Jenny From the Block" singer, for her part, shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with her 3rd husband Marc Anthony, whom she married in 2004. (The pair later divorced in 2014.)
Lopez told Interview magazine earlier this month that she is enjoying singlehood.
"Yes, I'm not looking for anybody, because everything that I've done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I f**king do when it's just me flying on my own...what if I'm just free?" the "Let's Get Loud" singer, who has been married four times, remarked.
