Father's Day
tribute did show they're in their best post-split era as coparents, reported E! News.
"Happy Father's Day to 3 people's favourite landing spot," Garner wrote in tribute to her ex-husband, posting a throwback photo of Affleck holding one of their three kids as a baby to her
Instagram
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.

Sourabh Raaj Jain seeks blessings at Siddhivinayak ahead of ‘Tu Dhadkan Main Dil' launch
With the much-anticipated show Tu Dhadkan Main Dil set to hit television screens soon, actor Sourabh Raaj Jain was recently seen at Mumbai's iconic Siddhivinayak Temple, seeking divine blessings. Dressed in a breezy floral shirt and holding a puja thali, Sourabh looked serene and grounded as he shared a glimpse of his spiritual visit with fans through Instagram Stories. His caption, 'Apka ashirwaad sab par bana rahey,' reflected his heartfelt gratitude and devotion. Sourabh Raaj Jain, a household name in Indian television, is known for his versatile portrayals in mythological and contemporary roles alike. He gained widespread acclaim for his portrayal of Lord Krishna in Mahabharat and later continued to impress audiences in shows like Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, Patiala Babes, and reality stints on Khatron Ke Khiladi. Now, he returns to fiction television in a dramatically different role. In Tu Dhadkan Main Dil, Sourabh plays Raghav—a rugged, emotionally restrained man whose life takes a turn when love and an unexpected bond with his daughter stir his long-buried emotions. The narrative draws inspiration from the classic Beauty and the Beast, exploring how music, love, and vulnerability can heal even the most closed-off hearts. 'This role allows me to explore emotional depth in a fresh way,' Sourabh had shared in an earlier interview, hinting at the layered nature of his character. His performance promises to balance strength and sensitivity, a combination that has become his signature on-screen. The show stands out with its musical backdrop and nuanced storytelling, a welcome shift from formulaic family dramas. As Sourabh begins this new chapter, his temple visit symbolizes not just spiritual grounding but a hopeful, heartfelt beginning to what could be one of his most compelling roles yet.

Arjun & Myra Rampal Celebrate Fatherhood with Diamonds
This Father's Day, De Beers Group brings forth a heartfelt tribute to the evolving father-daughter dynamic through an intimate campaign featuring actor Arjun Rampal and his daughter Myra Rampal. Titled 'She Raised Me Too,' the campaign captures the nuances of modern fatherhood — where love, trust, and individuality flourish in equal measure. The campaign centers around a symbolic moment: Myra's second ear piercing, adorned with a natural diamond solitaire, representing self-expression, independence, and shared growth. What once was considered a sign of rebellion now becomes a celebration of autonomy, with fathers like Arjun proudly supporting their daughters' choices. 'She's always been her own person,' shares Arjun. 'But what's beautiful is how she lets me be part of her journey — not just as a dad, but as a friend, a student, and sometimes, a little lost until she shows me the way.' In a tender reel titled 'Raising Dads', the duo reflects on the ways daughters shape their fathers — from decoding nude lipstick shades to understanding emotional space. It ends with a heartfelt gesture: Arjun gifting Myra natural diamonds for her piercing, turning a moment of choice into one of cherished memory. The campaign, launched via @HeeraHaiSadaKeLiye on Instagram, highlights De Beers' ethos of capturing personal milestones through natural diamonds — eternal tokens of love, legacy, and transformation. This Father's Day, De Beers invites families to celebrate love that evolves, sparkles, and grows — naturally.
