Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner reunited for Thanksgiving
Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner they were spotted spending Thanksgiving together – and it was all for a good cause!
A newlywed couple teamed up to help feed the homeless community through charity Midnight Mission on Thursday, November 28.
In photos shared via social media, Affleck and Garner, both 52, and other celebrities including Sarah Paulson49, were all smiles as they wore hair nets and rolled up their sleeves to help.
Garner and Affleck, who were married from 2005 to 2018, were joined by their three children Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, who also volunteered their time to help those less fortunate.
Midnight Mission thanked the support from Garner and Affleck and shared the thanks on their official Instagram page.
“Today, we're honored to have Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner join us on Midnight Mission for Thanksgiving! Their kindness, warmth, and dedication have brought so much joy to our Skid Row community,” reads the caption of the post.
“Thank you, Ben and Jennifer, for sharing the food and smiles on this special day. Your kindness reminds us all of the true meaning of Thanksgiving—coming together to support one another.”
Affleck and Garner shared an amicable relationship after their split nearly a decade ago. The actress has supported Affleck through some of his most difficult times, including his recent divorce Jennifer Lopez55.
“Ben and Jennifer are friends, and they have a good breeding relationship,” the source said Us Weekly in August.
The two “have a mutual understanding that their children come first,” the insider noted, adding that the exes “really get along.”
The insider added that the former couple's quiet relationship and shared history came in handy as Affleck navigated his split from Lopez.
“There's a deep level of trust and respect between them,” the source explained, adding that Affleck “confidently confided in Jen in a lot of ways.”
The insider continued, “Especially recently when things with J.Lo have not been so great for the past few months.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August after two years of marriage and months of split rumors.
The “Let's Get Loud” singer listed the date of the split as April 26, which was three months before she and Affleck celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary.
One of Hollywood's most talked-about couples of the twenty-first century, Affleck and Lopez began dating in 2002, meeting on the set of Gigi.
The couple finally called off their last engagement in 2004 and, after several marriages and divorces between them, reunited two decades later in 2021. After they met, Affleck proposed a second time in April 2022 while Lopez was taking a bubble bath. They left after three months in Las Vegas.
After their Vegas wedding, Lopez and Affleck had a big ceremony a few months later in August 2022.
