Family Time! Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Treat their Kids to a Broadway Night Out

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck enjoyed spending some quality time together with their children this week.

The Love, Simon star and Justice League actor took their children to see musical Hello, Dolly! on Thursday night in New York City, a source confirms to PEOPLE. (Page Six first reported the outing.)

The Broadway production stars Bernadette Peters in the lead role, which Bette Midler will reprise when she returns to the show on July 17, as well as Garner’s former Alias costar Victor Garber. Showing their love for the production, the family gave the cast a standing ovation before heading backstage, according to the insider.

Garner, 46, and Affleck, 45 — who filed to end their 10-year marriage in April 2016 — share three children together: Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6.

In an interview that aired on Sunday, Garner opened up about how the intense tabloid scrutiny the couple faced during their marriage took a big toll on her.

Explaining how for a decade there would be up to five or six cars trying to get the scoop on what was going on between them, Garner said on CBS Sunday Morning, “Looking back on that, I really feel the stress of it.”

“I really — I could cry talking about it,” she continued, adding that her split from Affleck, with whom she continues to happily co-parent, continues to play a huge role in her life.

“What I think I’ve learned is that the scrutiny in your private life puts a pressure to make something happen,” she explained. “You feel a pressure to hurry up and get married, ‘cause you think that’ll end the — ‘Are they engaged? Are they not?’ And that’s true in the reverse, as well. If you are — if you know, if there is any inkling of trouble, or if the tabloids decide there’s trouble, it can create trouble.”

A source recently told PEOPLE that Affleck, who has been spending a lot of time with his girlfriend, Saturday Night Live producer Lindsay Shookus, is “doing great” and “seems very happy that Lindsay is in L.A. now.”

Over the summer, Shookus and Affleck have been “spending more time together while they both have downtime from work,” an Affleck pal said. “They’re enjoying doing normal couple things and exploring L.A. together.”
