Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Skip Oscars 2025 for a Fun-Filled Paintball Outing
March 3, 2025: As the 97th Academy Awards unfolded with glitz and glamour, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner decided to skip the star-studded event, opting for a more down-to-earth activity—a paintball outing with their kids. The former couple, known for their amicable co-parenting relationship, was spotted laughing and enjoying quality family time at a paintball venue on Sunday.
In pictures obtained by TMZ, Ben Affleck was seen grinning from ear to ear, sharing lighthearted moments with Jennifer Garner. The two were carrying paintball gear, though reports suggest they may have simply cheered from the sidelines while their children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—participated in the game.
Though neither Affleck nor Garner appeared to be wearing protective masks, indicating they may have sat out the match, their presence alone seemed to make the day extra special for their kids.
While many celebrity divorces lead to estrangement, Ben and Jen have consistently prioritized their children, setting an example of healthy co-parenting. Over the years, they’ve:

Their close bond was evident during the Pacific Palisades wildfire, when Affleck rushed to be with Garner and their kids, ensuring their safety.
Affleck’s recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez has put his personal life back under the spotlight, particularly as he spends more time with Garner. Though sources insist their bond remains strictly platonic, their frequent outings have raised questions about their relationship dynamics.
Meanwhile, Garner is in a long-term relationship with businessman John C. Miller, who, according to sources, is reportedly uncomfortable with how close she remains to Affleck.
A source told The Daily Mail,
“John understands that Ben will always be in Jen’s life as a father, but he wants to be the main figure in her life.”
Despite any external pressures, Garner remains focused on maintaining a peaceful co-parenting dynamic with Affleck, ensuring their children always come first.
While the Oscars 2025 was the biggest night for Hollywood, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner proved that sometimes, family comes first. Their decision to trade the red carpet for a fun-filled paintball outing shows that parenting > prestige—a refreshing reminder that even Hollywood’s elite value ordinary moments of joy over glamour.
