tribute did show they're in their best post-split era as coparents, reported E! News.

Stories.
After 10 years of marriage, Garner and Affleck parted ways in 2015 and finalised their divorce three years later. Despite their divorce, the two have remained good friends.
The actors, who were married for almost 10 years before announcing in June 2015 that they were separated and planning to divorce, have looked so at ease in recent months that reconciliation rumours soon followed after Affleck's divorce from
Jennifer Lopez
, reported E! News.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finalised their divorce on January 6, 2025.
Affleck and Garner--who share Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13--remain exes, albeit very supportive and close exes who went through a lot to get to this place in their relationship.
Earlier this year, Affleck, 52, called himself (not for the first time) "really lucky" to have a "really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner," saying in January that she's "wonderful and great and we work together well," reported E! News.
Garner hasn't had much to say on the topic in recent years.
But the 53-year-old has acknowledged how her perspective shifted regarding what she still has with Affleck, versus what she lost in the divorce.
"When our kids get married, we'll dance, I know that now," she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021, referring to how she told Vanity Fair in 2016 that her dream of dancing with the love of her life at her daughter's wedding had been dashed.
"We'll boogaloo and have a great time. I don't worry about that anymore," reported E! News.
Affleck, meanwhile, has been singing Garner's praises in the parenting arena from the beginning.
"Jen is a superhero mom," said the Oscar winner in 2016, adding, "She is an amazing mother." And when it came to the kids, "We try our best, we put them first, and that's what we do," reported E! News.
On Mother's Day in 2019, he paid tribute to Garner and his own mom, Chris Anne Boldt, calling them "two incredible mothers who have shown me the meaning of love."
And in 2020, Affleck said, "When you have children with somebody, you're connected to them forever...Our marriage didn't work, and that's difficult. Both of us believe that it's important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they're together or not," reported E! News.

Tom Brady once choked up as he admitted he wasn't as good a father as his own dad: "When I think about being a dad..."
Throwback to when Tom Brady's voice cracked as he recalled how his dad shaped his life (Getty Images) For all his accolades on the football field—seven Super Bowl titles, a two-decade reign as the NFL 's most feared quarterback, and a legacy unmatched in modern sports—Tom Brady continues to credit his biggest victories to someone much closer to home: his father, Tom Brady Sr. Tom Brady gets candid about fatherhood, his hero, and the lessons he hopes to pass on Despite achieving unparalleled success with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and landing a massive $375 million contract with Fox Sports after retirement, Brady often steers the conversation away from himself. When asked who he admires most, the answer has remained consistent throughout the years. 'I think my dad is my hero, because he's somebody I look up to every day,' Brady once said, holding back tears in an emotional Father's Day clip shared by Fox. Brady's tribute to his father isn't just reserved for interviews. On Father's Day, he posted a heartfelt message on Instagram alongside photos of his parents and his children. 'Happy Father's Day to my dad who taught me everything about what it means to be a father,' he wrote. 'And to all the dads out there that who are great role models to their kids.' In his eyes, Tom Brady Sr. wasn't just a supportive father—he was the blueprint for how to live with purpose. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'My dad has always been my biggest supporter, my best friend, and my No. 1 teacher not just in sports but in life," Brady shared. "The values he passed on to our family — hard work, integrity, compassion, and unconditional love, shaped me in every way." Even years after stepping off the field, Brady's reflections on fatherhood continue to strike a deeply personal chord. In a 2022 interview with ESPN, he became visibly emotional while discussing how he tries to emulate his father in raising his own three children. 'When I think about being a dad, I think about him. Because of what my dad meant to me," he said. 'I know I'm not as good as dad to my kids that my dad's been to me. ' Brady's goal is not to mold his children into future NFL stars, but to guide them in becoming compassionate, respectful, and fulfilled individuals. 'We want our kids to be happy, I want them to be respectful to people, and I want them to be kind and make the world a better place,' he emphasized. Although Brady famously used his sixth-round draft snub as motivation to fuel his historic NFL journey, he hopes his kids won't inherit the same all-consuming drive. 'What I really want for them is to find something they love like I have,' he said. 'But I have taken it to an extreme too… there are imbalances in my life and I hope they don't take things as far as I've taken them.' He concluded with a candid truth many parents can relate to: 'I want them to find great success in whatever they do but there's a torment in me that I don't wish upon them.' Brady may have retired from football, but in fatherhood, his most meaningful legacy is still unfolding.

Fans rage as Gisele Bündchen ignores Tom Brady on Father's Day after his heartfelt Mother's Day tribute
Gisele Bündchen's silence on Father's Day has sparked speculation about their post-divorce dynamic (Getty Images) When Tom Brady posted a heartfelt Mother's Day tribute to Gisele Bündchen, calling her 'strong,' 'compassionate,' and 'amazing' for how she raised their kids, many fans viewed it as a sign of continued respect between the exes. But when Father's Day arrived, the silence from Gisele's side was striking—especially on platforms where she's typically expressive about family milestones. Gisele Bündchen stayed silent on Father's Day, despite Tom Brady's Mother's Day tribute Though Gisele Bündchen has previously honored Tom Brady on Father's Day, her absence this year didn't go unnoticed. Some see it as a subtle but deliberate choice in their post-divorce co-parenting evolution. Since their split in late 2022, Gisele and Tom have emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their two children, Benjamin and Vivian. However, public support does not always align with private respect. Gisele's decision to avoid a Father's Day post may reflect a healthy boundary—keeping their parenting dynamic private rather than performative. In contrast, Brady's Mother's Day message might have been an olive branch or simply a public show of admiration. That doesn't mean Gisele felt the need to reciprocate in the same format. Gisele Bündchen is focused on her new family life Bündchen is now in a serious relationship with Joaquim Valente, and reportedly welcomed a baby earlier this year. Her emotional energy may be more focused on her current partner and growing family. While she maintains a respectful co-parenting relationship with Brady, she may not feel obligated to highlight him in the public sphere on a day that now also involves others in her life. It's also possible that Gisele expressed gratitude privately or encouraged their children to celebrate Brady directly. The lack of a social media post doesn't necessarily signal animosity. Not every co-parent feels compelled to turn these moments into public displays—especially when emotions, expectations, and past history are involved. Also Read: Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen's secret plastic surgery strategy in Paris sparked cultural backlash and personal regret In the age of curated posts and viral tributes, Gisele Bündchen's silence may speak volumes about her desire to keep personal relationships offline. While Tom Brady extended a public gesture of goodwill, Gisele's restraint suggests a different, perhaps more grounded approach to their new reality—one where respect is practiced quietly, rather than performed.
