“Ben gifted Jennifer with the book because she’s a fan, plus her Super Bowl bodysuit was inspired by Marlon Brando,” a source tells Page Six.

“The gifts were mostly for each other’s kids, but they did exchange a few small things for each other as well,” the insider adds.

“It was nothing over the top, but more so a gesture to celebrate the holidays. Ben and Jennifer have remained amicable despite the ongoing divorce proceedings.”

As we previously reported, Affleck and Lopez have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved.

“Ben and Jennifer are still connected, and they do communicate when it involves their kids,” a source recently shared with us.

The exes first began dating in 2002 after working together on the movie “Gigli.” They got engaged for the first time in November of that year but called it quits in January 2004.
