Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner don matching aprons for Thanksgiving reunion amid Jennifer Lopez divorce
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a heartwarming Thanksgiving reunion, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted donning matching aprons, sharing a joyful moment. The former couple, who were married from 2005 to 2018, appeared to be spending the holiday as a family.
This comes amid Affleck’s ongoing divorce from Jennifer Lopez, with the couple marking their separation date on April 26, 2024—roughly four months before Lopez officially filed for divorce.
Affleck and Garner were joined by their three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—whom they shared during their marriage, making the reunion even more special.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner today. They were amazing. Jennifer Garner might be the nicest celeb I've ever met.
