Ben Affleck couldn’t contain his smile as he reunited with Jennifer Garner to pick up their son from school.

The oft-grumpy “Argo” star could be seen in new photos snapped on Wednesday grinning as he and the “Alias” alum chatted while exiting the school with Samuel.

Dressed in a patterned cardigan, red jacket and jeans, Affleck looked laid back and relaxed.

Garner, meanwhile, looked comfortable in black leggings, a black zip-up sweatshirt and tall white socks that she paired with sneakers.

It’s unclear if they were picking up Samuel, who was wearing a basketball jersey, from a game or just an after-school practice.

The former couple chatted amicably for a few minutes before they said goodbye and went on their separate ways.

Garner, 51, and Affleck finalized their divorce in October 2018 — three years after announcing their separation.

The exes share three children — Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11 — and have proven that they’re amicably co-parenting the brood.

While the Oscar-winning actor ran his personal errands, Affleck’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, has been stealing the show in a variety of jaw-dropping ensembles at Paris Fashion Week.

Although Affleck, 51, opted out of the high-fashion event, he and the “Shotgun Wedding” star have insisted they’re happy despite his viral paparazzi face making it seem like he’s miserable.

“Ben is doing all right. You don’t need to worry about Ben, let me just tell you,” Lopez told Entertainment Tonight at the 2024 Golden Globes, which she attended with her husband.

“He is good. He is happy. He is here, he is nominated.”

The “Waiting for Tonight” singer, 54, explained that Affleck can’t figure out why the public is so fascinated by his facial expressions.

“He’s like, ‘I’m chilling. I don’t understand what people are so pressed for,’” Lopez said, noting with a laugh, “They don’t pick up on my face.”
