Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner appear to have rekindled a strong bond following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, with body language experts noting their closeness during a recent family outing. The Argo filmmaker, 52, and his ex-wife were spotted together at a paintball event with their children, where their relaxed and affectionate demeanor caught their attention.
Body language expert Nicole Moore analyzed their interactions and told Fox News that the former couple displayed notable signs of emotional connection. “Many couples who are divorced and co-parenting stand with distance between their bodies as a way to maintain emotional distance,” Moore explained.

“However, Ben and Jen’s bodies appear to be actively leaning in toward one another, indicating that they still share emotional intimacy.” One moment, in particular, stood out—when Affleck hugged Garner during the event.
“When Ben turns to hug Jennifer, he reaches his arms around her with completely relaxed arms, indicating he’s very comfortable touching her in this way, and he squeezes her in slightly as if he really wants to be as close as possible to her,” Moore noted.

The expert further observed Affleck’s body language, suggesting that he seemed fully engaged with Garner. “It’s almost as if Ben’s body is indicating that he really just wants to put his full focus on Jennifer, and he can’t get enough of her,” she added.
Their warm interactions come amid reports that Affleck and Garner are in a good place as co-parents. An insider told Fox News that their dynamic is positive and focused on their children. “They had a bunch of good energy around them. You can just tell they were mainly there for their kid,” the source said.
Co-parenting between the two remains seamless, with the insider adding, “Nothing bad between them. It was very great, and they had a very good time.”
