Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck weren’t hiding from the cameras as they headed out for food together in Los Angeles.
On Thursday, May 21, the former couple appeared to twin in matching outfits while stepping out to grab something to eat. They were seen picking up food from Neighborly. a curated kitchen and marketplace in Brentwood that lets customers mix and match across multiple menus with the ease of a single order.
Garner and Affleck’s together-at-the-checkout moment lands against a long timeline of real-life changes. The two married in 2005 and separated 10 years later in 2015. They officially divorced three years after that.
Even after the divorce, they’ve kept one thing steady: their family. Together, they share three kids—Violet, 20; Seraphina, 17; and Samuel, 14.
After their split, Affleck dated SNL producer Lindsay Shookus, Playboy model Shauna Sexton, and actress Ana de Armas. He also got back together with Jennifer Lopez and married her, though they later divorced.
Garner has also moved forward. She’s been in a relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018.
In a recent interview with Bustle, Garner described how she and Affleck parent as the kids grow up in separate homes. She said, “mom and dad; he becomes dad and mom,” explaining that the balance matters when there’s no way to have “both sides of the yin and yang being in the same house.”
Garner added that the shift isn’t entirely easy: “There’s a little bit of loss in that, but there’s also something gained in that.” Earlier this year, she also shared rare comments about how “hard” the divorce from Affleck was for her.
For all the years since they split, the matching outfits and shared stop for food in Los Angeles offered a quiet kind of continuity—one that looks familiar to anyone who’s watched their public story evolve into a private rhythm of co-parenting.

So they’re still together or what? Matching outfits is basically a wedding thing now, right?
Honestly good for them. I feel like the “mom and dad” thing is weirdly relatable, like having your parents separated but still showing up. Also Neighborly sounds like a place I’d actually go.
I swear this is just PR so people don’t ask about the divorce anymore. Like matching outfits while grabbing food… that’s supposed to make everyone chill? But then they each date other people so idk. It’s giving “we’re fine” but everybody knows it’s not.
Violet is 20 now?? time is insane. The article said “mix and match across multiple menus” at Neighborly and I’m stuck on that, like they literally ordered the whole way they always do lol. Also the yin and yang line—did she say that or am I mixing it up with another celeb interview? Either way, divorce sounds hard even if they look cute at checkout.
