They’ve remained on good terms as they raise three children together years after their divorce.
But Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner looked rather frosty as they reunited to pick up their 13-year-old son, Samuel, from the airport.
Jennifer, 53, carried herself with a determined air and was engrossed in a conversation, her attention everted from her former spouse.
Meanwhile, Ben, 52, passed the time puffing on a cigarette, and a dramatic plume of smoke exhaled from his mouth.
The Argo star appeared stone-faced, his aviator sunglasses providing him with a mysterious ambiance.
Once they located their son, Jennifer was seen chatting with the youngster, who stayed occupied with a pair of large headphones.

Jennifer and Ben, who were married from 2005 to 2018, also have two other children – Violet, 19, and Fin, 16.
In the years since their shock split, both have moved on romantically, with Affleck even tying the knot with former flame Jennifer Lopez, whom he has since divorced.
Jennifer, meanwhile, has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018.
In a recent update of their relationship, Us Weekly reported that John is now living with the Alias actress ‘part time.’
‘John is basically living with Jennifer,’ a source told the publication in April, noting it was only ‘part time.’
The site also claimed he moved out of his Los Angeles home after the wildfires ravaged several neighborhoods in the Southern California city, and he has yet to find a new pad.
‘He has an office in L.A. and splits his time between staying there and at Jennifer’s home,’ the source said.
‘But he’s been staying with Jennifer more often [and] doesn’t want to impose, so he’s looking for his own place… [and] deciding whether he’ll rent or buy.’

The latest outing comes several months after Affleck was seen embracing Garner while paintballing with their children, with a source telling DailyMail.com at the time that the actor came to the realization after his reunion with Lopez that the Maid In Manhattan actress was not ‘the love of his life’, but Garner was.
Noting they have maintained a strong relationship since their split, the source added that Garner has supported Affleck during his divorce from JLo and that the pair have remained ‘best friends’.
Garner previously called her ex the same back in 2016, telling Vanity Fair after their split: ‘I ran down the beach to him, and I would again. You can’t have these three babies and so much of what we had. He’s the love of my life.’
The warm feelings have clearly remained, with Affleck thanking his lucky stars for having such a ‘good’ partner in Garner during a recent interview with GQ.
‘I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well,’ Affleck told the outlet.

He also discussed how both he and Garner have navigated through fame and stayed honest with their kids.
‘We used to have a thing, my ex-wife and I, when they would see something on a supermarket stand,’ Ben recalled.
‘We would say, well, “You know this isn’t always true because if it were, you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant.”‘
Affleck added, ‘I know what’s going on in my life. And also, really more importantly, my kids know.’
