- Bennifer. Jennifer Lopez turns to retail therapy to get over Ben Affleck spending Thanksgiving with her ex
- Bennifer. Ben Affleck says he "can be himself" with Jennifer Garner: Is it a reproach towards JLo?
Jennifer Garner has opened up about her past marriages, offering insights into valuable lessons learned while seemingly taking a subtle jab at her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. Garner reflected on her experiences, sharing a key mantra: "Never marry a man thinking you can change him."
The statement appeared to be a reflection of her relationships with Affleck, to whom she was married from 2005 to 2018, and her first husband, Scott Foley (2000-2004).
During an appearance on the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, Garner added that much of her wisdom comes from her mother and literature she loves, such as Little House on the Prairie.
Despite their divorce, Garner and Affleck have maintained a strong co-parenting relationship. This Thanksgiving, the former couple reunited to volunteer at The Midnight Mission's annual Thanksgiving Street Fair in Los Angeles, serving meals to more than 2,000 homeless individuals.
Garner and Affleck ed their children-Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel -to give back to their community. A source close to the family told People magazine that the event reflects the former couple's commitment to their children and shared values.
"They truly enjoy giving back and making it a family affair," the source explained.
A cozy Thanksgiving dinner
After the charity work, Affleck ed Garner and their children for a private Thanksgiving dinner at her Brentwood home. The gathering sparked speculation among fans about a potential rekindling of their relationship, fueled by Affleck's visible comfort around Garner.
"Ben feels blessed to be himself again around Jen. Even though they've been apart for years, they have an enduring connection," a source noted.
"They'll always share a bond because of their history and their kids."
While some speculate about a reunion between Affleck and Garner, both appear to have moved on in their personal lives.
Garner has been spotted with her boyfriend, John Miller, while Affleck is reportedly taking time to reflect and prioritize his sobriety following his high-profile divorce from Jennifer Lopez earlier this year.
