As a seasoned observer of celebrity lives, I must say that the rollercoaster ride of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s relationship is nothing short of captivating. Their journey from marital bliss to turbulent separation, and then back to each other, only to part ways once more, is a testament to the complexities and unpredictability of human relationships.

Jennifer Lopez shared a solo picture, marking Thanksgiving, as her former partner Ben Affleck spent the holiday with his ex-partner, Jennifer Garner.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but beam with joy when I saw the legendary “Jenny From The Block” singer, aged 55, flaunting her magnificent stuffed turkey in an Instagram post! What a sight to behold!

In the meantime, Ben, who had recently separated from her, was seen getting cozy with Jennifer Garner, his former spouse and mother of his kids, at a charitable function.

Last Thursday, the ex-pair, having common offspring – Violet (age 18), Fin (age 15), and Samuel (age 12) – came together to lend a hand at Midnight Mission for a charitable endeavor.

Stars joined forces with their children to assist a local charity in providing meals for approximately 2,000 underprivileged individuals in downtown Los Angeles during their yearly Thanksgiving lunch event.

In an amicable display, the twice-Oscar-winning actress, who is also 52 years old, was spotted working together with another person. They seemed deep in conversation, occasionally whispering to each other, while donning identical aprons.

They both appeared in high spirits as they served their community with a smile. 

An eyewitness told DailyMail.com that they spent three hours there.

On that special event, the Alias graduate styled her long brown hair into an elevated ponytail and donned a navy sweater.

Affleck donned a brown shirt with collar, staying near Garner and their children, which included Violet, sporting an orange hoodie and N95 face mask.

This year, Violet, who enrolled as a freshman at Yale this year, disclosed that she developed a health issue called a ‘post-viral condition’ back in 2019.

In the year 2020, Affleck expressed appreciation for Midnight Mission on Instagram, acknowledging their dedication towards providing housing, training, growth opportunities, and rehabilitation services for those in need.

Previously, he told
People
that he learned about Midnight Mission through a parent at one of his children’s schools.

He shared that he gains significantly by offering a modest amount of his time to others. Whether it positively impacts them or not, he’s certain that such actions bring personal benefits for him.

Affleck stated that it might seem like there’s nothing one can do in such situations, but the reality is that there are individuals who aspire for a better life and are striving, yet require assistance. Even a small act of kindness, such as donating money or time, can have a significant impact. Connecting with people in this way is incredibly empowering.

He said his experience working with the organization ‘has been really positive and rewarding.’

Yesterday’s news mentioned that Affleck was expected to celebrate the holidays with Garner, their kids, and her partner, John Miller – a report following closely on the heels of his recent appearance.

On Thanksgiving, we’re aiming for a calm and peaceful atmosphere with Ben. We’ll keep things simple and positive, and luckily, Jen is on the same page and ready to help make the day go smoothly.

Another source close to the situation confirmed that Garner is determined to celebrate a significant holiday with Miller, her partner since 2018, at his residence without any hindrance.

The
businessman had previously aired grievances
about her involvement in Affleck’s marital struggles with Lopez, but there is now ‘nothing but love and appreciation’ between them all.

According to the source, Thanksgiving holds great significance for them as it offers a chance to be with each other before the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season sets in.

Jen’s partner is frequently involved, and there’s always harmony because everyone holds nothing but affection and admiration for one another.

‘And yes, Jen Garner and the kids cook Thanksgiving dinner without any outside help.’ 

Affleck, who celebrated Thanksgiving with Lopez recently, is likely to provide support for Garner, who shared the sad news about the passing of her beloved 9-year-old golden retriever, Birdie.

The actress honored her cherished pet, whom she got right after separating from Affleck in 2015.

On Wednesday, she shared with her Instagram audience that her beloved canine companion, Birdie, has found her true purpose – an angelic role. She considers it a blessing to have experienced the joy of loving and being cherished by a dog like Birdie.

A week ago, it emerged that there might have been growing friction between her and Lopez, even though she had stepped in as a ‘marriage advisor’ during Affleck’s separation from the singer.

According to reports, she has decided to keep a distance from the artist known for On the Floor and prefers no interaction with her except in matters related to their children.

According to the source, they believe it wasn’t wise for her to become so deeply invested in assisting Jennifer Lopez with mending her marriage to Ben.

Given the dynamics of their marriage, it’s worth noting that Jen sometimes found herself in a competitive situation with JLo. However, being inherently kind-hearted, Jen genuinely wished to assist, which is why she made an effort to do so.

Previously, we learned that Miller seemed displeased with Garner taking on the role of mending her former spouse’s troubled marriage, as he perceived it as her duty. (DailyMail.com reported this earlier in the year.)

Given the challenges they faced during their marriage, where Jen sometimes found herself competing with JLo, it’s worth noting that Jen’s nature is inherently kind. As a result, she genuinely wanted to assist, and therefore, she made an effort to do so.

As a dedicated follower, I can express that John yearns deeply for Ben’s well-being above all else. However, it should not fall upon his girlfriend to act as a caregiver for Ben in this situation.

It’s left for Ben to solve the issue independently and for his spouse to manage. Jen doesn’t need to worry about it since Ben has already made it clear that it’s not her concern.

It was mentioned that Affleck felt like a ‘weight’ and was attempting to steer clear of talking about his marital issues with Garner.

13 long, heart-wrenching years ago, I was overjoyed when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner exchanged vows. Yet, fate had other plans as their union unraveled, culminating in the finalization of their divorce in 2018 – a day that felt like a dream shattered for many fans like me.

In 2022, Affleck made amends with his former wife Lopez; however, in August of the same year, she decided to end their two-year-long marriage by filing for divorce.

In the previous month, I openly shared about our parting ways during an interview with Interview Magazine. I characterized it as a mix of sadness and fear – a poignant reflection of my feelings.

The hitmaker expressed that it felt isolated, strange, and frightening. She described it as a sad and desperate situation when she spoke about being alone.

As I immerse myself in these emotions and whisper to myself, “I won’t let these hardships break me,” a sudden realization sweeps over me: I can find my own sources of joy and happiness, even without external validation.

‘Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself.

Initially, I would describe myself as a content individual, but I was searching for something that would complete me or another person. However, I realized, it’s more about accepting that I am already whole and complete within myself.
