Alright, let’s get real here. Sometimes, breakups aren’t as clean as we’d like them to be. Take Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, for instance. After a decade-long marriage, the couple parted ways back in June 2015. But even though they’re separated, it seems there’s still some tension brewing. The latest twist? Jennifer reportedly doesn’t want their three kids around Ben’s girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus. Now, that’s a situation that’s bound to raise some eyebrows.
According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly, Jen has her reasons for keeping Lindsay at bay from their daughters, Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and son, Samuel, 5. "Jen doesn’t want the kids around Lindsay or having her in their lives. She has many reasons," the insider revealed. But here’s the kicker—Ben is on board with this decision. "Ben understands and has honored her request," the source added. That’s a sign of mutual respect, even if it doesn’t always make headlines.

Now, here’s the thing about their divorce—it’s not all bad. Despite the drama, Jennifer and Ben have managed to maintain a decent level of communication. They’re focused on what matters most: their kids. "They’re good friends," the insider elaborated. "She wants him to be honest, and he usually is. She tends to find out about things, and Ben is very open with her. They both want what’s best for the kids and have made a commitment to see that through." That’s a powerful testament to their commitment as co-parents, even if they’re no longer a couple.
Interestingly, Ben shares a similar perspective when it comes to Jennifer’s dating life. As of now, she’s single, but when the time comes for her to meet someone new, Ben has a few preferences. "He doesn’t want his kids around some loser," a source told In Touch. "He definitely doesn’t want to fix her up with another actor. He wants someone who’s solid." It’s clear that both parties are prioritizing their children’s well-being in every decision they make.
