Ben Affleck affectionately holds ex-wife Jennifer Garner during paintball outing
Newly divorced Ben Affleck was spotted getting handsy with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner during a paintball outing with their son, Samuel.
The 'Gone Girl' star was seen affectionately grabbing the actress around the waist as she focused her paintball gun on a target at the Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, Calif., on Sunday.
Affleck pulled Garner in toward him, and she appeared to welcome the embrace.
The ex-spouses stayed close together on the field, while Samuel, 13, went off with his friends. (It's unclear whether his siblings, Violet, 19, and Seraphina, 16, were also there.)
Affleck and Garner, both 52, were also photographed laughing and chatting with each other at the paintball park.
The Oscar-winning actor was unable to wipe a smile off his face while hanging out with the 'Alias' actress and even burst into laughter at one point.
Reps for the duo weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The pair has maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship since parting ways in 2015. (Their divorce was finalized in 2018.)
A source told Page Six in January that Affleck and Garner were 'spending more time together than ever' after the 'Argo' star settled his divorce from Jennifer Lopez that same month.
According to our insider, the former couple 'found themselves leaning on each other more than ever.'
'They really do have a close bond,' we were told.
Affleck fled to Garner's house in early January after evacuating his $20.5 million Pacific Palisades home due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
They also spent time with Samuel on Valentine's Day last month.
Meanwhile, Garner has been in an on-and-off romance with John Miller for nearly seven years. Though recently, the businessman was said to be unhappy about her 'close relationship' with Affleck.
'John feels like a third wheel,' a source told Page Six in January.

Weinstein jury deliberations scrutinize one accuser's account
NEW YORK (AP) — Jurors in Harvey Weinstein'ssex crimes retrial are drilling down on one of the three charges against him: a rape accusation from a woman who also said she had a consensual relationship with him. The seven female and five male jurors are poised to start their fifth day of deliberations Wednesday by re-hearing Jessica Mann's testimony that he raped her in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013. Mann's accusation was an apparent focus of Tuesday's deliberations, and the jury ended the day by asking to be re-read her testimony about what happened between her and Weinstein at the hotel. The group also indicated it wants to continue privately reviewing her emails with Weinstein and some 2017 medical records concerning her reaction to news accounts of other women's allegations against him. The former Hollywood powerbroker, 73, has pleaded not guilty to raping Mann and to forcing oral sex on two other women, Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokola. The Oscar-winning producer maintains that he never sexually assaulted or raped anyone, and his lawyers portrayed his accusers as opportunists who accepted his advances because they wanted a leg up in the entertainment world. While all three women stayed in contact with Weinstein despite what they say were assaults, Mann had a particularly complex history with him. During days on the witness stand, she testified that they had a consensual relationship that exploded into rape, yet continued afterward. Weinstein was one of the movie industry's most powerful figures until a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him became public in 2017, fueling the #MeToo movement and eventually leading to criminal charges. He originally was convicted in 2020 of raping Mann and forcing oral sex on Haley. Sokola's allegation was added last year, after New York state's highest court overturned the 2020 conviction and sent the case back for retrial. Meanwhile, Weinstein is appealing a 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. After a couple of days of apparent interpersonal friction, the retrial jury worked through Tuesday with no further complaints. The Associated Press generally does not identify people without their permission if they say they have been sexually assaulted. Sokola, Mann and Haley have agreed to be named.
