In a surprising turn of events outside their children’s school on Halloween, prominent actors Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were seen in what seemed to be an intense conversation, which was followed by a minor car accident.

The high-profile pair, whose marriage lasted from 2005 to 2018 and who share three children, were noticed having a serious talk outside a school in Santa Monica, California, amid the children’s Halloween festivities. Details regarding the subject of their discussion have not been made public. 

Onlookers reported that Garner appeared visibly upset during the exchange. Despite the tension, the interaction between the two seemed to soften, with Affleck showing a gesture of support by placing his hand on Garner’s arm, leading to shared smiles between them.

Later, in a less fortunate moment, Affleck accidentally reversed his black Mercedes-Benz into another car in the school’s parking lot. Although the incident was minor, with no injuries or major vehicle damage reported, Affleck appeared clearly agitated while assessing the minor damage to his vehicle.

This occurrence follows recent public instances suggesting that Affleck and Garner continue to navigate a complicated relationship post-divorce. Notably, they were seen sharing a moment of closeness in Affleck’s car in Los Angeles, indicating a cordial co-parenting arrangement.

Both Garner and Affleck have remained in the spotlight, attracting media attention for their family dynamics and professional accomplishments even after their separation. Most recently, Affleck has been at the forefront of celebrity news due to his marriage to renowned singer and actress Jennifer Lopez.

The specifics of their conversation remain private, and both Garner and Affleck have refrained from making public statements regarding the incident.
