Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner unite for Thanksgiving amid divorce with Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck spent his first Thanksgiving without Jennifer Lopez alongside his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, as the former couple came together to volunteer at the Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles.

The two 52-year-old actors joined forces with their three children – Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 – to help serve meals to 2,000 homeless and near-homeless individuals during the organization’s annual Thanksgiving brunch.

Wearing matching aprons, Affleck and Garner were observed whispering to each other and appearing in high spirits while serving their community.

An eyewitness reported that they dedicated three hours to the charitable event.

The volunteers worked side by side, demonstrating a united front in supporting local community needs, despite their past marital separation.
