Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner was also in attendance for the her son’s sporting event.
The outing comes after the JLo, 54, cancelled her much-anticipated tour, This Is Me… Live summer tour to focus on her personal life.

Lopez also shared that she was “heartsick and devastated” over the news in her “On the JLo” newsletter, telling fans, “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”
