Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez exchanged gifts this Christmas, despite their divorce in August.
Even though they are in the midst of an ongoing divorce, Ben Affleck didn't let that stop him from celebrating Christmas and exchanging presents with his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez.
Affleck, 52, made sure to put thought into his gift for Lopez this year. According to sources, he gave her a meaningful present: an autographed book about Marlon Brando.
Louis Jason, the owner of Mystery Pier Books in West Hollywood, California, confirmed that Affleck visited the store on Sunset Boulevard, purchasing “a few books” before meeting Lopez for lunch at the exclusive Soho House.
"Ben gifted Jennifer with the book because she’s a fan, plus her Super Bowl bodysuit was inspired by Marlon Brando," an insider explained.
Although their primary focus was on selecting gifts for their children, the couple exchanged “a few small things” with each other as a gesture to mark the holiday season.
“It wasn’t anything extravagant, but more a simple gesture to celebrate the holidays. Ben and Jennifer have remained amicable despite their ongoing divorce proceedings,” the source added.
The couple, who rekindled their romance in early 2021 and married in 2022, have continued to maintain a positive connection for the sake of their blended family.
“Ben and Jennifer are still connected, and they do communicate when it involves their kids,” a source recently told Page Six.
Their relationship began in 2002 when they worked together on the film *Gigli*. They got engaged later that year but separated in 2004. After reuniting nearly two decades later, they tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a larger celebration in Georgia.
However, Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, marking the second anniversary of their wedding.
Affleck shares three children—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
