Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, once a married couple, made headlines this Thanksgiving. Their decision to team up with charity organization Midnight Mission and spend the day helping the unhoused community was truly remarkable. In photos shared via social media, both 52-year-old Affleck and Garner, along with other celebrities like Sarah Paulson, 49, were seen donning hair nets and actively participating in the effort. Their three children - Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 - also joined in, showing their support for those less fortunate.

Midnight Mission's Gratitude

The Midnight Mission was deeply thankful for the support it received from Affleck and Garner. As stated in its official Instagram post, "Today, we were honored to have Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner join us at The Midnight Mission for Thanksgiving! Their kindness, warmth, and dedication brought so much joy to our Skid Row community. Thank you, Ben and Jennifer, for serving meals and sharing smiles on this special day. Your compassion reminds us all of the true meaning of Thanksgiving—coming together to support one another."

Amicable Post-Split Relationship

Even after their split nearly a decade ago, Affleck and Garner share an amicable relationship. An insider exclusively told Us Weekly in August that "Ben and Jennifer are friends, and they have a great coparenting relationship." The pair has a mutual understanding that their kids come first, and they also get along really well. This amicable relationship has been helpful as Affleck navigated through his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez, 55. The insider explained, "There’s a deep level of trust and respect between them. Ben has confided in Jen in a lot of ways. Especially lately when things with J.Lo haven’t been so great in recent months."

Lopez and Affleck's Relationship Timeline

Affleck and Lopez are one of the most talked-about Hollywood couples of the twenty-first century. They started dating in 2002 on the set of Gigli. The couple ultimately called off their eventual engagement in 2004. After a few marriages and divorces between them, they reunited two decades later in 2021. In April 2022, Affleck proposed for a second time while Lopez was taking a bubble bath. They eloped three months later in Las Vegas and had a larger ceremony several months later in August 2022.
