It is Thanksgiving week in the US. Hollywood celebrities have been unwinding with their family members during the holiday period. Ben Affleck also celebrated Thanksgiving, but with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The 52-year-old Oscar winner was spotted volunteering with his former wife Jennifer, at Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles.

Affleck and Garner, who share three children—Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12)—reunited to help feed 2,000 homeless individuals at the non-profit’s annual Thanksgiving brunch. The former couple wore matching aprons while greeting fellow volunteers and served meals.
This Thanksgiving marks Affleck’s first since Jennifer Lopez reportedly filed for divorce in August, coinciding with the second anniversary of their wedding ceremony. Affleck and Garner were previously married in 2005 after his initial split from Lopez. The couple announced their separation in June 2015, after 10 years of marriage, but officially filed for divorce in 2017.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's relationship
Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance in April 2021, 18 years after postponing their 2003 wedding. At the time, the couple released a joint statement about the decision to delay the nuptials. It read, “Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date. When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate ‘decoy brides’ at three different locations, we realized that something was awry.” They added, “We felt what should have been a joyful and sacred day could be spoiled for us, our families, and our friends.” The duo called off their first relationship in early 2004. Lopez cited the date of separation as April 26, 2024, in her divorce documents.
