Amid the whirlwind of divorce rumors and the reported career downfall of Jennifer Lopez, she still took time to attend and crash on Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's son, Samuel's, graduation party.
People reported that Lopez and Garner were seen entering Affleck's alleged rental home in Brentwood, California. These came weeks after Affleck reportedly left his and Lopez's $60 million marital home in Beverly Hills.
Even before the graduation party, Lopez was already in attendance at Samuel's graduation ceremony, where they were both reportedly spotted wearing their respective wedding rings.
The trio has a complex co-parenting arrangement. Garner and Affleck have three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Lopez and Affleck are also co-parenting the former's children with Marc Anthony, Max, and Emme.
While this may seem rare, Lopez, Garner, and Affleck were in the same building earlier this month, thanks to Samuel again. The three watched Samuel's basketball match at the YMCA in Santa Monica, California, where Lopez and Affleck were photographed sharing an awkward kiss outside before entering the gym.
InTouch Weekly sources have gathered that the united front that Lopez and Affleck presented during Samuel's match "was so awkward."
"They didn't show any real affection like a normal married couple, but they had these big smiles on their faces like they were faking it for the cameras," an insider told the outlet.

The couple has been reportedly doing that to the public for quite a while now. The outlet also reported that Affleck had "reluctantly agreed" to formally announce their breakup as Lopez requested.
Garner has not publicly commented on the reports surrounding Lopez and Affleck's marriage, but she has been entangled in the drama since.
OK magazine sources have revealed that the "Let's Get Loud" singer has reportedly told Garner to "back off."
"Everyone knows that [Affleck] and [Garner] remained very close after their divorce. He confides in [Lopez] about everything, even his issues with [Lopez]," the sources have divulged. "[Lopez] hates that [Affleck] goes back to his sensible, down-to-earth ex-wife for advice and emotional support. She doesn't want [Garner's] input."
However, a different source refuted the claim, saying that Lopez didn't outright tell Garner to "back off."
"Both women have been down this road before and know their boundaries - but she did tell [Affleck] that his ex needs to stay away from him and butt out of their personal drama. [Affleck] then relayed the message to [Garner]," the source added.
As of this writing, Lopez has experienced quite a rollercoaster in her career. She canceled her summer tour due to poor ticket sales, her movie musical about her love story with Affleck received a lukewarm reception, and her comeback album performed poorly commercially.
