Thanksgiving Traditions: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Keep It Cozy

Ben Affleck was spotted making his way to Jennifer Garner's Los Angeles home for Thanksgiving, a holiday tradition they've kept going strong ever since their split a decade ago. The former power couple is known for their rock-solid co-parenting of their three kids – Violet, Fin, and Samuel – and this year was no exception.

Affleck's Thanksgiving visit comes on the heels of the buzz surrounding their appearance at last year's Midnight Mission charity lunch on Skid Row. Back then, Garner was a comforting presence for Affleck after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce, a move that could have marked their second wedding anniversary.

This year, while Garner attended the charity event solo, Affleck was later seen driving to her place with their son Samuel in the backseat and a mystery blonde woman riding shotgun. This unexpected guest has sparked plenty of chatter among fans and onlookers.

Focus on Family and Festivities

A source close to Garner spilled the beans that Thanksgiving at her house was as heartwarming as ever. "Just like last year, Jen hosted Thanksgiving at her house. Ben and his mom joined," the insider revealed to People. Garner, known for her culinary skills, made sure the day was special, relishing the chance to bring her family together.

They added, "Jen makes it very special. She's such a great chef. She loves having her whole family together too. Ben's always welcome at her house."

Support and Stability: The Hallmarks of Their Relationship

The source also painted a picture of the supportive relationship the exes have nurtured over the years. "They get along and really support each other," the insider shared, noting that Affleck's focus is on "work, his health, and his kids" more than a decade post-divorce.

Garner continues to be one of Affleck's biggest fans. "Jen's his biggest cheerleader. It took them years to get to this point, but Jen never gave up on him. And it's all friendly and centered around the kids now," the source said.

Their Thanksgiving gatherings have long been a testament to their giving spirit. In 2024, the family came together at The Midnight Mission's Thanksgiving Street Fair, serving meals to the homeless community. Garner returned to Skid Row this Thanksgiving morning, emphasizing her enduring commitment to community service.

Though their romance is in the past, Affleck and Garner's dedication to providing a stable environment for their children remains a top priority. Their holiday tradition shows that any past disagreements have been left behind, with co-parenting uniting them for the sake of their children.
