Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner reunited this Thanksgiving, November 23, 2023, for a family-focused celebration in Los Angeles. The former couple, who share three children, enjoyed a meal prepared by Garner in a supportive atmosphere, continuing their commitment to co-parenting.
According to PEOPLE, Garner hosted the Thanksgiving gathering, echoing her role from the previous year. A source close to the actress described her as a “great chef” who loves bringing the family together. The insider noted that Affleck, along with his mother, was included in the guest list, emphasizing that “Ben’s always welcome at her house.”
The celebration featured their children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, reinforcing the positive rapport between Affleck and Garner years after their split. The source highlighted that both parents are on excellent terms, supporting each other, especially when it comes to their kids. Affleck has been focusing on his work and maintaining a healthy lifestyle while spending quality time with his children.
In addition to their family gathering, the day held significance beyond the meal. Garner continued her tradition of giving back by volunteering at L.A.’s The Midnight Mission, where she participated in their annual Thanksgiving Street Fair, providing free meals to those in need. Despite her long-term relationship with John Miller, Garner’s commitment to family remains a priority, with the source noting that he is “understanding” of this focus.
Earlier this fall, Affleck shared his admiration for his children during the Los Angeles premiere of Kiss of the Spider-Woman, a project he produced. He expressed pride in Violet’s work with the United Nations, stating, “I’m very, very lucky to have such an awesome, supportive family.” He added, “It’s the joy of my life, and I’m just very, very lucky. And it makes me happy every day.”
Their Thanksgiving reunion reflects a shared commitment to family values and the importance of co-parenting, serving as a model for maintaining positive relationships post-divorce. As both Affleck and Garner continue to focus on their careers and family, their Thanksgiving celebration underscores the enduring bond they share as parents.
