Jennifer Garner has shared insights about her previous marriages, highlighting important lessons learned, and subtly alluding to her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. One poignant takeaway she emphasized was the principle: “Never marry a man thinking you can change him.”
This sentiment seemed to reflect on her unions with Affleck, whom she was married to from 2005 to 2018, and her first husband, Scott Foley (2000-2004).
On the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, Garner mentioned that much of her perspective is influenced by her mother’s wisdom and her favorite literature, like Little House on the Prairie.
Although Garner and Affleck are divorced, they continue to coexist positively as co-parents. This Thanksgiving, the former couple came together to volunteer at The Midnight Mission’s annual Thanksgiving Street Fair in Los Angeles, preparing meals for over 2,000 individuals experiencing homelessness.
Joined by their children – Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel – they demonstrated their commitment to giving back. A source informed People magazine that this event showcases the parents’ shared values and dedication to their kids.
“They genuinely love helping out and making it a family event,” the source elaborated.
A Warm Thanksgiving Gathering
Following their charitable efforts, Affleck participated in a private Thanksgiving dinner at Garner’s Brentwood residence with their children. This moment fueled fan speculation regarding a possible rekindling of their romance, particularly noticing Affleck’s comfort in Garner’s presence.
“Ben feels fortunate to be truly himself with Jen. Although they’ve been apart for a substantial time, they share a special connection,” a source remarked.
“Their history and their kids will always link them together.”
While some are curious about a potential reunion between Affleck and Garner, both seem to be moving on with their lives.
Garner has been seen with her boyfriend, John Miller, while Affleck is reportedly focusing on his sobriety after his high-profile separation from Jennifer Lopez earlier this year.
