They are often spotted out and about in LA together with their kids, and don't live far away from each other so that their children can easily spend time with both their mom and dad.

Ben has previously paid tribute to the mother of his children in a heartfelt Mother's Day post, too. Meanwhile, back in April, Jennifer shared a sweet message to their children as she marked a new decade of her life.
