This update comes amid reports that Ben has been supporting his ex amid the loss of her father, who passed away in March.

A source told Entertainment Tonight at the time that Ben was “actively involved” with Jen and was “checking in on her and making sure she knows he is there for her since her dad’s passing. It was the kids’ grandfather and Ben and him always got along. He considered him family and always will.”

They split up ten years later in June 2015, but have remained super close. ET’s source noted that Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez have “gotten closer” recently as well, so it’s not exactly a surprise that Jennifer Garner is encouraging Ben to work on his marriage!
