Ben Affleck ‘Feeling Good About Himself’ After Spending Time With Ex Jennifer Garner For Christmas!

Ben Affleck is heading into the new year with a positive attitude, all thanks to his ex! No, not that one — we mean Jennifer Garner!

For Christmas this year, the filmmaker spent time with his first ex-wife and their three children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel. And according to a source for Star, he’s feeling “good about himself” after their festivities this week:

“Now that Ben’s getting back to his old routine, he’s feeling good about himself. Spending time with Jen Garner and the kids over the holidays has helped him to feel that everything’s all right in his world again.”

Wow! But don’t get worked up, Perezcious readers! This is not the start of the reconciliation story between Ben and Jennifer Garner!

Although the two have been spotted together on multiple occasions since his breakup with Jennifer Lopez, including on Thanksgiving, where they looked particularly cozy together, they aren’t getting back together! She’s still “very happy with” her boyfriend John Miller, per an insider for People. When it comes to the Argo actor? The source stressed that the 13 Going On 30 star is just “friends” with Ben, and they are all about their kids — that’s it. Just two people who are co-parenting and on good terms!

And Ben is even implementing that same dynamic with J.Lo amid their divorce! In fact, the former couple reportedly “have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved.” While the exes are mainly in communication because of their children, this is still a huge deal! They could’ve easily decided to never see each other again since they aren’t together anymore! But no! They’re trying to handle this maturely! The two are on such good terms right now that Ben even took the time to get her a thoughtful Christmas present! Amazing!
