Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez drop son Samuel off at school together

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez make a dream parenting team.

The duo brought the actor’s 11-year-old son, Samuel, to school together on Thursday morning.

The “Gigli” co-stars both sat up front in a black SUV during the Santa Monica, Calif., drop-off, in photos obtained by Page Six.

Affleck, 51, sported a blue button-up and tan pants behind the wheel, while Lopez, 54, rocked a cream sweater and hoop earrings in the passenger seat.

The actor shares Samuel with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, as well as Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 14.

The former couple separated in 2015 and have put on a united co-parenting front ever since.

Most recently, the exes were spotted sharing a car with Seraphina Tuesday.

Their drive came two weeks after they made headlines for an intimate moment on a different drive, with Garner, 51, hugging Affleck from behind.

The pair’s relationship is in a “better place” than ever thanks to Affleck’s wife, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

The couple married in 2022, blending their families.

“One of the things that made [them] get to a better place was — and is — J.Lo,” a source told the outlet of Garner and Affleck’s “happy co-parenting” dynamic.

The insider noted that the actress is also “very friendly” with Lopez, claiming that Garner’s three children “love” the singer’s 15-year-old twins, Emme and Maximilian.

“Everything is really good right now and should be the same in the near and distant future,” the source added.

Lopez and Affleck officially blended their families in July 2022 when the couple got married in Las Vegas.

“It’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition, but at the same time all your dreams coming true,” the Grammy winner told “Today” show viewers in January of the following year.

“He’s just so in tune,” the songwriter gushed at the time. “He’s present, and that’s all you can ask: for a present, loving dad who cares and shows up every single day, and that’s who he is.”

“Bennifer” first started dating in 2002 but married other people after breaking off their engagement two years later.

Affleck reconciled with Lopez over e-mail in 2021, getting down on one knee the following year. One month after their Sin City nuptials, they wed again in Georgia in front of their loved ones.
