Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are hitting a home run on family nights!
Just over 10 years after announcing their divorce, the A-list exes were pictured sitting front row with their two youngest children during the Boston Red Sox's winning game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park on July 11. Their eldest child, 19-year-old Violet Affleck, wasn't pictured at the ballgame.
"Great Red Sox family right there, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their kids," NESN commentator Dave O'Brien said during a broadcast in a clip shared by the official Major League Baseball X account.
In the clip, the Oscar-winning actor and "Deadpool & Wolverine" star were engaged in a conversation before the former couple, seated together in between their children, seemingly flashed soft smiles at the camera. Affleck is a longtime Red Sox fan and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston.

Garner and ex-husband Affleck were married from 2005 to 2018. Last year, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, 55, filed to divorce Affleck, 52, in Los Angeles Superior Court. Affleck and Lopez were previously together before the actor and Garner's pairing.
Since their split a decade ago, the pair have emerged as one of Hollywood's healthiest examples of "conscious uncoupling," a term coined by Affleck ex and Garner friend Gwyneth Paltrow.
The "Gigli" stars first met on set of the film, which was released a year later in 2003. After 10 years of marriage, the duo told USA TODAY in a June 2015 statement that "we go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time."

When Affleck accepted the best picture Academy Award for "Argo" in 2013, he received some backlash for comments about Garner: "I want to thank you for working on marriage for 10 Christmases," he said from the stage. "It's good, it is work, but it's the best kind of work, and there's no one I'd rather work with."

But Garner later defended her then-husband, telling The Telegraph that "I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world.
"I think he was saying, 'Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I'm in it with you and I know you are in it with me.' That's the way I took it," Garner said.
