Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck Go on Vacay Together Post-Divorce

Jennifer Garner and her ex-husband, whom she was with for over a decade, Ben Affleck just went on vacation together. Was it a post-divorce romantic getaway? Not quite.

Garner was asked to give a presentation to a room of 160 executives from Fast Enterprises, a software company that was holding a conference at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort, and the actress took advantage of the gig by turning it into a family vacation. She had a long list of requests in addition to her appearance fee, including a private jet to get her to and from the big speaking engagement, her own glam squad for meet-and-greets and dinner and hotel accommodations: two two-bedroom suites and an additional suite for a five-night stay.

Sounds like a lot to handle, but definitely necessary for the family of five to enjoy their time together. After Garner and Affleck came the kids: their daughters Violet, 11, and Seraphina, 8, and their son Samuel, 5. Even though the couple has been separated for two years now, they officially filed for divorce this April. But the mother and father have tried hard to make the difficult time easier on the kids by setting up vacations like these.
