Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner got "affectionate" during a recent paintball outing with their 13-year-old son Samuel.
The exes, who split in 2015 after 10 years together, remained "close" throughout the entire event, per Page Six, as Samuel joined his friends. At one point, the Argo star pulled Garner towards him by her waist, and the actress did not pull away.
Photos obtained by the outlet show the moment Affleck holds the 13 Going on 30 standout's midsection as she aims the paintball gun at a target. News of the former pair getting affectionate with each other arrives mere hours after a source told Page Six that Affleck "would love another chance" with Garner, timing permitted.
"At the same time, Ben knows it’s just not realistic at this time in their lives. Ben just got out of a marriage and finalized his divorce [from Jennifer Lopez], he is really busy with work and is focused on this new chapter plus, Ben respects Jen’s relationship with John [Miller] and would never come between them."
As for Jen, the source revealed that she is very happy with her current partner, John Miller, and plans to remain in a strict co-parenting relationship with the Justice League star.
"The feeling is not mutual on Jen’s side. She’s happy with John and that’s just not where her head is at. She has a great co-parenting relationship with Ben, and that’s where things stand on her end at the moment."
