    The “Last Thing He Told Me” star, 51, was photographed arriving in the neighborhood in a blue vehicle while wearing sunglasses.

    In the same vicinity, Affleck, 50, and Lopez, 53, were spotted walking with his 11-year-old son, Samuel, and her 15-year-old son, Max.

    While Garner was not captured on camera with Affleck and Lopez, the “Alias” alum has reunited with the couple for multiple co-parenting moments this year.

    In January, the trio attended one of their children’s musical events along with Affleck’s mother, Christopher Anne Boldt.

    Garner and her ex-husband both attended Samuel’s basketball game the following month.

    Lopez gushed to Vogue in November 2022 about her husband and his ex-wife “work[ing] well together” raising their kids.

    In addition to Samuel, the exes, who were married from 2005 to 2018, are also the parents of daughters Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 14.

    Garner told Vanity Fair in March 2021 that she used to “worry” about their dynamic, clarifying that she now knows, “When our kids get married, we’ll dance. We’ll boogaloo and have a great time.”

    As for Lopez, the Grammy winner shares Max and his twin, Emme, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

    Following their 2014 divorce, Lopez moved on with former fiancé Alex Rodriguez before reuniting with Affleck in 2021. (The “Gigli” co-stars were previously engaged from 2002 to 2004.)

    Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, with the “Let’s Get Loud” performer subsequently changing her legal name to Jennifer Affleck.

    The following month, the pair married again in front of family and friends in Georgia.
