Ben Affleck spent his Thanksgiving holiday with family, joining Jennifer Garner and their kids for a cozy family dinner in Los Angeles.
The two continue to show that, even years after their separation, co-parenting remains a priority.
Affleck was photographed arriving at Garner’s home on Thursday with their son Samuel and his mother, Chris Boldt.
According to a source who spoke to PEOPLEThis year’s celebration mirrored last year’s plans, with families coming together for the holiday.
“Ben and his mom joined us,” the insider shared. “Jen makes this very special. She’s such a good chef.”
The source added that Garner “also loves having her whole family together” and clarified that “Ben is always welcome at her house.”
The former couple have worked hard to maintain a close and supportive relationship since their separation in 2015 and eventual divorce in 2018.
“Jen is his biggest cheerleader,” the source continued. “It took them years to get to this point, but Jen never gave up on him. And it’s all friendly and kid-centered now.”
Garner’s relationship with longtime partner John Miller is also stable, according to the source.
Miller has “been incredibly patient and understanding of her family orientation.” The source added that Garner is “happy” with the CaliBurger CEO, sharing, “He’s a great guy and he treats Jen very well. She loves hanging out with him.”
Affleck and Garner share three children, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13.
Last month, Affleck showed his appreciation for how they are co-parenting during the Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere, saying, “I couldn’t be more proud of my kids, I can’t even tell you that. I’m very lucky to have a great partner and we have great kids. It’s the joy of my life, and I’m just very, very lucky. It makes me happy every day.”
Meanwhile, Affleck’s relationship with Jennifer Lopez appears to have ended for good after finalizing their divorce in January, despite the fact that they shared a friendly moment at the same premiere.
A source previously said Us every week“There’s nothing going on between them.”
For Affleck, this Thanksgiving was less about headlines and more about family, and it’s clear that the tradition of spending the holiday together remains important to everyone involved.
