Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are still crushing co-parenting.

The former couple linked up for their son Samuel’s sporting event at a Santa Monica, Calif., YMCA on Saturday.

The duo arrived separately, with Garner walking into the facility with the 11-year-old.

The actress, 51, held the preteen’s hand while wearing a gray “hug a farmer” tee tucked into navy jeans, as well as white tennis shoes and black sunglasses.

Samuel matched his mom in a gray shirt emblazoned with a lightning bolt, plus basketball shorts and colorful sneakers.

When Affleck arrived on his own, the 51-year-old Oscar winner sported a “Slapshot Boston” T-shirt, jeans and Nikes.

The exes, who finalized their divorce in 2018, are reportedly in a “better place” co-parenting Samuel, Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 14, than before — thanks to his wife, Jennifer Lopez.

“It is really a very happy co-parenting situation,” a source told the Daily Mail on Thursday. “Everything is really good right now and should be the same in the near and distant future.”

Notably, Affleck and Garner were photographed looking friendly during a car ride with their middle child last month.

The “Alias” alum hugged her ex-husband from the backseat in the August paparazzi pics.

Two weeks after the intimate moment was caught on camera, the duo made headlines for sharing a vehicle again.

The “Pearl Harbor” co-stars are “amazing” parents to their brood, Lopez, 54, told Vogue in her December cover story.

“They work really well together,” the “Let’s Get Loud” singer gushed at the time.

The dancer is a parent herself, sharing 15-year-old twins Emme and Maximilian with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Lopez and Affleck blended their families when they tied the knot last year, which the Grammy winner called an “emotional process” in a January “Today” show appearance.

Although the couple were spotted seemingly having a tense talk during a Friday car ride, an insider told Page Six there was “nothing heated about their discussion.”

Affleck and Lopez have had a tumultuous relationship history, as they were previously engaged from 2002 to 2004 before breaking up and saying “I do” to Garner and Anthony, respectively.

In 2021, the “Gigli” co-stars got back together. Three months after their April 2022 engagement, the couple tied the knot in Las Vegas.
