Ben Affleck lovingly hugs his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their kids after flying to Florence for summer vacation

Ben Affleck was photographed meeting his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children in Florence, Italy, on Friday afternoon.

The 50-year-old actor lovingly hugged the 51-year-old actress – with whom he shares 17-year-old Violet; Serafina, 14; and Samuel, 11 – after arriving at the escape destination by private jet.

The artist, who was recently spotted on a shopping trip with his second wife, Jennifer Lopez, also smiled broadly as he met his kids, hugging his youngest shortly after his arrival.

Affleck kept it casual in a black button-up shirt and slim-fitting beige pants as he spent time with his family.

The Good Will Hunting star added a little extra pop to his look with a pair of multicolored Nike sneakers.

Garner opted for a striped white shirt and cream colored pants during her time in Florence.

The Elektra star completed her look with a pair of leather sandals, a light gray bag and a single necklace.

The artist’s gorgeous brunette hair fell to her shoulders and added a bit of darkness to her look.

She was later seen spending time in a bookstore, where she smiled broadly as she spoke to an acquaintance.

Affleck and Garner first met while working on the set of Pearl Harbor, and the two went on to co-star in the superhero film Daredevil.

The actress was previously married to Scott Foley and their marriage lasted from 2000 to 2004.

She eventually moved on with the Argo director and the two tied the knot in 2005.

The former couple started their family with the birth of Violet, which took place that same year, and they added Seraphina and Samuel in 2009 and 2012.
