Jennifer Garner reminisces about family trip to Paris and London with ex-husband Ben Affleck

Jennifer Garner told cooking author Ina Garten on the "Happy Hour" podcast that she took her children on a six-week trip to Paris and London while Ben Affleck was filming a superhero movie in London. She said she removed the kids from school for the trip, calling the experience "wonderful" and "fun."

Garner added that the family also visited Venice and that she has continued the tradition of exploring Paris by boat, a suggestion she said came from Garten.

The actress, 54, and Affleck, also 54, were married in 2005, separated in 2015 and finalized their divorce three years later. Affleck recently praised Garner’s parenting on "Sunday Today with Willie Geist," describing her as a "spectacular" mother and noting that he strives to match her efforts.

"I work hard, and then I go home and pick up the kids from school," Affleck told Variety when discussing their shared custody arrangement.

Both parents emphasized mutual respect and cooperation in co-parenting their three children, Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14.
