Family First

This isn’t the first time the duo has been spotted together post-divorce. In the past, they have taken their kids to church, sat at one of their children’s soccer games and even went for a stroll together in Los Angeles.

Nothing but Love

The pair tied the knot in 2005 but decided to go their separate ways in 2018. However, they have been open about how much they still mean to one another. “She’s wonderful,” the handsome hunk gushed during an appearance on the Today show in March. “I’m lucky [my kids] got a great mom, and she helps out a great deal with making sure we coparent in as good a way as possible.”

Making It Work

So, how do Ben and Jen coparent as seamlessly as possible? “You have to be on the same page. You have to cooperate,” he told Today.com in 2017. “If you recognize that you both have the best interest of the kids at heart, it’s quite a special connection. We’re the only two people in the world who care this much about these three kids.”

Sometimes It’s Hard

However, Jen admitted that it’s not always rainbows and butterflies with her ex. “The main thing is these kids, and we’re completely in love with what we hope for them,” she told Vanity Fair. “Sure, I lost the dream of dancing with my husband at my daughter’s wedding, but you should see their faces when he walks through the door. And if you see your kids love someone so purely and wholly, then you’re going to be friends with that person.”

Doting Dad

The Good Will Hunting alum has made it clear that his kids mean everything to him. “I hope I’m a pretty good dad,” he said. “I certainly try very hard. Dads are so important to kids, and it’s our responsibility to be part of their lives, to be as in it as moms.”
