2020

Two years after Jen and Ben’s divorce was finalized in 2018, the Dazed and Confused star made a candid confession about his family’s new dynamic.

“I never thought that I was gonna get divorced. I didn’t want to get divorced. I didn’t want to be a divorced person. I really didn’t want to be a split family with my children,” he told Diane Sawyer during an interview on Good Morning America. “And it upset me because it meant I wasn’t who I thought I was. And that was so painful and so disappointing in myself.”

2021

The 13 Going On 30 actress admitted that she and her ex graduated past the hard part of their divorce.

“When our kids get married, we’ll dance, I know that now,” she told the Hollywood Reporter in March. “We’ll boogaloo and have a great time. I don’t worry about that anymore.”

Four months later, a source exclusively told In Touch that Jen approved of Ben bringing J. Lo around their kids after rekindling their marriage.

“It was Ben’s idea to be open and just let it flow. Jen likes control, she thought that was a bit too loose, but now, looking back, Jen says it was a great decision,” the insider said. “You can’t hide who your ex is dating. Especially if you’re in the business. And Jen has nothing against J. Lo.”

2023

Jen gave Ben a shoutout while celebrating her now-late dad, William John Garner, on Father’s Day.

“Happy Father’s Day to the best to ever do the job. (Jeans in church — I made my connecting flight, but my luggage didn’t). We love you, Dad. X,” she wrote via Instagram in June. “PS Shout out to BGA—no one loves their kids like you love ours, happy Father’s Day, Ben! X.”

2024

The former couple threw Violet a graduation party in May amid Ben’s marriage problems with wife Jennifer Lopez.

During their rough patch, Ben confided in the Alias actress, which bothered J. Lo.

“Jen can’t stand by and do nothing. That’s not in her nature,” a source exclusively told In Touch later that month. “She has dropped everything to make sure Ben doesn’t spiral out of control again. At the end of the day, Ben is still the father of their children, and she will help him however she can.”
