Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck BOTH filming in Long Beach amid claims they’re ‘nearer than ever’ after JLo cut up
Exes Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are as busy as ever with their filming careers.
The duo were spotted shooting their own separate projects in Long Beach, California on Tuesday.
Garner, 52, was seen working on her AppleTV+ series The Last Thing He Told Me while Affleck, 52, worked on the Netflix project RIP at a different set several miles away.
Affleck’s latest film centers around ‘a group of Miami cops discovers a stash of millions in cash, leading to distrust as outsiders learn about the huge seizure, making them question who to rely on.’
A cigarette dangled from Affleck’s mouth as he tinkered with his motorcycle shortly after arriving to the set.
He was seen at the door of his sleek Airstream with a helmet in hand.

Elsewhere, Garner was surrounded by various crew members as she padded through The Last Thing He Told Me set in soft boots.
Her look also consisted of a midnight blue jacket and floral print skirt.
Garner is returning as Hannah Hall for a second season of The Last Thing He Told Me, a show based on the novel of the same name by Laura Dave.
The show sees Garner play ‘a woman who forms an unexpected relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter while searching for the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared,’ according to IMDB.
The first season of the show premiered last year in April 2023 – and became the streaming site’s most-watched limited series, despite having a score of only 41% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Outside of their filming endeavors, Garner and Affleck are busy co-parenting three children together.
The duo have remained friendly since ending their marriage of 13 years in 2018. They share children Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
