Last year, Lopez and Affleck had big holiday plans, too, but they did not include their ex-spouses. A source said that Lopez focused on making the holiday special for the children and not on having their ex-spouses present.

Although the ex-spouses did not spend the last holiday season together, they are beginning to mend fences and bettering their relationship. However, Garner did not attend either of the couple's wedding ceremonies.

Garner has accepted Lopez and Affleck's relationship and even gave them her blessing to get married. However, she did not attend the ceremonies and instead spent time with two influential men in her life.

Garner was to be included in both of the wedding ceremonies but did not turn up at either of the ceremonies. All five children were included in the Georgia wedding, but one child was missing from the Vegas ceremony.

However, the guests of honor were the couple's combined children, as they all worked together to ensure the day ran smoothly. One of their duties was helping Lopez carry her 20-foot veil into the house after the ceremony.

As the couple left the alter after they said "I do," their children also joined them. Lopez's children, Max and Emme, 14, walked beside her as Affleck's children, Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Sam, 11, walked beside him.

While it was a joyous occasion for the couple, Garner was not in attendance. It was reported that she could not attend the wedding because of work commitments but received an invitation because Affleck considered her family.

However, a source close to Garner mentioned that the invitation was not given very long in advance. The source confirmed:

"Ben did tell Jen about the wedding, but I'm told it was only Friday at the earliest. It was very, very minimally planned in advance and was largely spur of the moment."

It was said that Lopez was supportive of Affleck inviting his ex-wife as she understood Garner played an essential role in her step-children’s lives, and she and Garner had become closer because of the children.

The pair have had an on-again-off-again relationship since 2018 but are still together today. A source close to the couple said they enjoyed their relationship being more private than Affleck and Lopez's. The source confirmed:

"They're happier being a regular, under-the-radar couple and don't need anyone else's validation to know they're meant to be together."

Initially, the couple wanted to take their relationship slowly, but it quickly got serious. Miller spent more and more time at Garner's Palisades home with her and her children, where a source said they all stayed up late playing board games.
