It seems Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are keeping things amicable as they move forward with their divorce. The former celebrity couple, who are still reportedly "in each other's lives" despite having separated following marriage struggles, were seen in Los Angeles celebrating the holidays with their kids.
