The former couple, who share parenting of their three children: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12, have worked hard to maintain a harmonious relationship for the sake of their family.

"They know that not all former partners manage to get along so well and they feel very grateful to have such a good relationship," added the source.

“Ben and Jen feel that having a positive relationship is beneficial for everyone involved, including themselves and their children,” the insider explained.

This close relationship between Affleck and Garner has caught the attention of their followers, who have praised the maturity with which they have handled their separation and the co-parenting of their children.
