"The kids are their number one priority, and they're both amazing, hands-on parents," a source told Closer Weekly. "They're getting a lot better these days and are in a great place, which makes coparenting so much easier."

The source added that Affleck and Garner, who met in the summer of 2001 and got married in June 2005, even go to each other's houses and catch up over coffee.

"The biggest regret of my life is this divorce. Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame."
