Ben Affleck was seen in Brentwood, Los Angeles, on Friday, appearing somewhat downcast after spending a family-oriented Thanksgiving with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their kids. The 52-year-old actor’s outing comes amid his ongoing divorce from Jennifer Lopez following the end of their two-year marriage.
Affleck opted for a laid-back yet fashionable appearance, wearing a tan button-down shirt over a black tee, complemented by dark gray jeans and black sneakers.
Thanksgiving with Garner and the kids
Affleck celebrated Thanksgiving by reconnecting with Garner and their three children. The family volunteered at the Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles, serving meals to over 2,000 homeless individuals.
Throughout the event, Affleck and Garner were seen sharing quiet conversations, smiles, and appearing at ease together.
They both donned matching aprons that read “I [heart] the Midnight Mission,” demonstrating their teamwork. An insider noted that the day was particularly rewarding for Affleck.
“Ben felt fortunate to celebrate Thanksgiving with his ex-wife and children. He enjoys a sense of comfort and authenticity around Jen,” the source told Page Six.
The insider also pointed out that Affleck and Garner share a strong bond due to their past and dedication to co-parenting.
This isn’t the first Thanksgiving the former couple has shared since their 2018 divorce; they often come together for special family occasions.
“Their closeness will remain because they have children and a positive co-parenting approach,” another source revealed.
This dynamic has led fans to speculate about a potential reconciliation, but both Affleck and Garner remain focused on their familial responsibilities.
