Jennifer Garner has revealed that the last text she sent to ex-husband Ben Affleck was a simple message about their children

Speaking with Extra, Jennifer was asked about the most recent message she had sent to her former husband.

She said: "I texted a kid thing to Ben... a pick-up/drop-off, kid-information to Ben."

The former couple share three children - Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13 - and have consistently prioritised co-parenting since their split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage.

When asked what she last said to her son, Jennifer said: "That I've loved him and I'll see him tonight. Have a great day at school."

The actress has previously reflected on how time has helped heal the pain of her divorce from Ben in 2018.

Speaking with Marie Claire, she said: "It doesn't serve me to take in gossip about myself or anyone else, much less my kids, so I don't do it. You have to be smart about what you can and can't handle, and I could not handle what was out there.

"But what was out there was not what was hard. The fact of it is what was hard. The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard. Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard."

Jennifer has since spoken warmly about the friendship she and Ben have rebuilt.

She said: "That I'm able to co-parent at this point in time with peace and equanimity and a partnership that I didn't know I would ever get back to.

"I think it's important for women to know ... time is the opportunity. Time is the opportunity to heal. Time is the opportunity to forgive, to move on and to find a new way to be friends."

She added: "So much about my life surprises me. That I'm still working, that I'm still alive, that my kids are healthy, that my work relationships - which are more like familial friendships - are still the same as they were 25 or 30 years ago, but richer and deeper and stronger. It's all a gift.

"I just feel so grateful to my job for giving me these people. And then, yeah, that I'm able to co-parent at this point in time with peace and equanimity and a partnership that I didn't know I would ever get back to."
