Why Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck Decided to Play Happy Holidays This Year

Buy Me A Coffee

Picture this: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, Hollywood’s favorite on-again-off-again BFFs, are decking the halls together for Christmas like it’s the ghost of Christmas past. An insider has spilled the eggnog to explain why these two exes are still co-hosting holiday festivities despite splitting back in 2015 after a decade-long marriage.

Spoiler alert: It’s not for the mistletoe.

The Plot Thickens
Since their breakup, both have kept busy with their love lives. Jennifer has been happily dating John Miller, a businessman who sounds like he runs either a Fortune 500 company or a really successful lemonade stand. Meanwhile, Ben married Jennifer Lopez—yes, that Jennifer Lopez—but their rekindled romance fizzled faster than a cheap sparkler this past August.

But when Christmas rolled around, the Batfleck and America’s Sweetheart were back together… well, sort of.

All About the Kiddos
“Jen and Ben were all together for Christmas. It’s all for the kids,” a source told People, presumably while shaking their head knowingly over a cup of cocoa. “Jen grew up with her family around for the holidays, and she wants the same for her kids.”

Translation? Jennifer Garner is out here making sure her kids have a Norman Rockwell Christmas, even if it means inviting her ex to the party. Someone give this woman a gold star, or at least a holiday cookie shaped like one.

Strictly Platonic Sleigh Bells
Another insider chimed in, saying, “She will continue to make sure they spend time together as a family and include Ben. The kids enjoy when they all spend time together. Jen’s grateful that Ben’s doing well. They are friends, but that’s it.”

That’s right—friends. Like, the kind of friends who used to be married, share kids, and occasionally get papped going for drives together like a suburban carpool.

Christmas Carpool Chronicles
Speaking of drives, Jennifer and Ben were spotted cruising around town just weeks ago. Was it a pre-holiday planning session? A last-minute trip to pick up matching family pajamas? Or maybe they were just arguing over who gets custody of the aux cord.

Whatever the case, it’s clear these two are putting the “co” in co-parenting. Now excuse us while we imagine Ben Affleck in a Santa hat grumpily assembling a bike at 2 a.m. while Jennifer perfects her holiday cookie recipe.

Ho, ho, ho, Hollywood!
