In front of their children’s school during a Halloween event, actors Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were caught in what looked to be a heated debate, which eventually led to a minor car collision.
The duo, who divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage and three children, was seen having a fervent conversation near a Santa Monica, California, school amid Halloween celebrations. While the content of their dialogue is not known, eyewitnesses noticed that Garner seemed particularly upset. However, the situation appeared to deescalate, as evidenced by Affleck’s comforting touch on Garner’s arm and the eventual exchange of smiles.
The day took an awkward turn when Affleck, while backing out of his parking space, knocked his black Mercedes-Benz into another vehicle. Although the crash was minor and resulted in no reported injuries or substantial damage to the cars involved, Affleck’s reaction suggested he was frustrated.
This interaction comes amid sightings that highlight the complexity of Affleck and Garner’s post-marital relationship. They were previously seen sharing a tender moment inside Affleck’s car in Los Angeles, demonstrating the friendly aspects of their relationship as they continue to co-parent.
Affleck and Garner continue to captivate the public with their personal lives and successful careers. Affleck has been particularly newsworthy of late due to his marriage to singer and actress Jennifer Lopez.
The specifics of their conversation remain private, and both Garner and Affleck have refrained from making public statements regarding the incident.
