Jen Garner Takes Kids Back To School Shopping While Ex-Husband Ben Affleck Looks At Engagement Rings For Jennifer Lopez

Jen Garner was on mommy duty, getting her kids with Ben Affleck ready to head back to school while he was preparing to ring shop for Jennifer Lopez.
The 49-year-old actress was photographed being a completely normal parent, taking their three children to Staples for supplies in West Los Angeles over the weekend.
Keeping it casual for her outing with her 12-year-old daughter, Seraphina, and her 9-year-old son, Samuel — both who she shares with Affleck — Garner was photographed wearing light-colored jeans, a black shirt, and sneakers.
Her ex-husband and their oldest child, 15-year-old daughter, Violet, were nowhere in sight.
Wearing her brown hair back in a sleek ponytail, the 13 Going On 30 actress slipped on a pair of oversized sunglasses and a hot pink mask, making it virtually impossible for the paparazzi to miss her.
Emerging with bags of goodies from the supply chain, Garner was clearly laser-focused on getting her children ready for the school year ahead while her ex-husband had something else completely on the brain.
Garner's mom of the year outing will certainly score her brownie points with her former mother-in-law, who was seen chumming it up with J Lo over the weekend.
Affleck's mother was also spotted accompanying her 49-year-old son to look at engagement rings on Monday.
The Academy Award winner and J Lo have only been together four months, but it seems he's ready to take the next step.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Affleck was caught browsing for engagement rings at Tiffany & Co. just hours ago.
Attempting to go incognito, he wore a mask and shades but he didn't fool photographers who were standing outside the pricey shop waiting for the perfect shot.
While Affleck didn't appear to leave Tiffany's with a diamond in tow, the fact that he's looking is huge.
As fans will recall, this wouldn't be the first engagement ring he's bought J Lo.
Affleck first popped the question in November 2002. They were set to wed in 2003 but canceled their wedding last minute, sighting too much media coverage.
Months later, Affleck and J Lo ended their relationship, only to each get married to someone else, have children, and find their way back to each other nearly 20 years later.
