Jennifer Garner was seen for the first time since ex Ben Affleck made loving remarks about what a really great partner she is when talking to GQ earlier this week.
The actress was in Paris filming scenes for her latest Apple TV+ project The Last Thing He Told Me on Thursday.
The 13 Going On 30 actress, 52 – who recently announced an unexpected career move – stepped into character for the second season of the drama series while at an outdoor café along a busy street in the city.
The Hollywood vet looked elegant.
Garner donned an all-black ensemble that was comprised of a black jacket as well as chic black trousers. Underneath, the mother-of-three opted for a black shirt and slipped into a pair of heeled boots.
Jennifer’s brunette locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down naturally past her shoulders in light waves.

The actress accessorized the look for the day of filming by adding a pair of dainty earrings as well as a gold-chained necklace.
At one point, Garner was seen sporting a warmer black jacket and swept up her hair into a simple bun while allowing her bangs to fall into her forehead.
She easily carried a cheetah-print bag over her right shoulder and held a dramatic expression on her face as she stepped in front of the camera.
Jennifer also flashed a cheerful smile as she was guided down a bustling sidewalk as she headed to the set.
The star was also accompanied by her stunt double who had a similar hairstyle and matching outfit as the Hollywood actress.
The first season of the Apple TV+ show premiered in April 2023 – and became the streaming site’s most-watched limited series, despite having a score of only 41% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show is also notably based on the novel of the same name written by Laura Dave.
The premise of season one followed, ‘A woman (Garner) who forms an unexpected relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter while searching for the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared,’ per IMDB.

And earlier this week, Jennifer’s ex-husband Ben Affleck sat down for an interview with British GQ.
The Oscar winner reflected on his divorce from Jennifer Lopez as well as his bond with Garner following their own split.
The former couple were married from 2005 until their divorce was finalized in 2018 – and share three children: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13.
‘I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well,’ Affleck told the outlet.
He also discussed how both he and Garner have navigated through fame and stayed honest with their kids.
‘We used to have a thing, my ex-wife and I, when they would see something on a supermarket stand,’ Ben recalled.

‘We would say, well, “You know this isn’t always true because if it were, you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant.”‘
Affleck added, ‘I know what’s going on in my life. And also, really more importantly, my kids know.’
He was recently seen hugging Garner during a paintball session as they celebrated their son Samuel’s 13th birthday earlier this month.
They were also seen arriving to the paintball park near Los Angeles – and the actor flashed a big smile while he conversed with the 13 Going On 30 actress.
The two stars embracing during the outing soon sent the internet into a frenzy – and a source informed DailyMail.com how Garner feels about ‘rekindling’ her romance with Ben.
Jennifer is currently in a relationship with John Miller, and the couple were recently spotted spending time together after the paintball excursion with her ex.
The insider stated that she is ‘deathly afraid of falling back in love’ with Affleck and has ‘trust issues’ when it comes to the actor. The pair divorced after Affleck reportedly had an affair with their children’s nanny Christine Ouzounian.
‘She loves Ben but is worried that he will crush her all over again,’ the source continued.

‘She doesn’t want to heal another broken heart because it is just too much drama, plus she does not want their kids to see round two of their mom in a bad place with their dad. So much could go wrong if they reunite.’
Another insider told DailyMail.com that Ben wants to possibly make a movie with Garner – after working together on Pearl Harbor (2001) and Daredevil (2003).
Following her hug with Ben, another insider informed Page Six this month that her boyfriend John Miller has issued an ‘ultimatum’ to her.
‘John knows there’s nothing going on between Jen and Ben, but he doesn’t think those photos are a good look and feels it’s disrespectful to their relationship.’
The source added that the businessman ‘gave Jen an ultimatum – he doesn’t want to see anything like that again or he has no choice but to walk away.’
And a separate insider told DailyMail.com that Miller had also been a bit bothered by Jennifer and Ben ‘being touchy-feely.’
They further expressed, ‘It would get to anyone, but this is nothing new. Ben and Jen have a unique relationship, especially for exes.’
However, it seems all is well between John and Garner as the pair were recently spotted this week on a date at Brentwood Country Mart in L.A.
