Jennifer Garner goes shopping alone after Thanksgiving with ex Ben
Share and Follow

Just days after preparing a Thanksgiving feast for her former husband Ben Affleck and their children, Jennifer Garner was seen restocking her pantry at a local Los Angeles grocery store. On November 29, the actress was photographed leaving Vicente Foods with a shopping cart brimming with groceries and other essentials, suggesting the holiday festivities had left her refrigerator bare.

Garner, mother of three, opted for a laid-back look for her shopping excursion. She wore red and white streaked leggings paired with a long-sleeved black top. Completing her casual ensemble were a faded red baseball cap, athletic socks, and white trainers.

Her chestnut hair was neatly tied back in a ponytail, and she donned sunglasses to protect her eyes from the bright autumn sun as she went about her errands.

The 53-year-old star of “Dallas Buyers Club” appeared to be in good spirits, engaging in a friendly conversation with a man who was either a store employee or a fellow shopper. Her approachable demeanor and down-to-earth style continue to endear her to fans and onlookers alike.

The Dallas Buyers Club star, 53, was seen chatting amicably with a man who might have been a store employee or a fellow shopper.

The sighting comes after Affleck, also 53, was spotted driving to Garner’s home on Thanksgiving with his son Samuel, 13, in the back seat and a woman who appeared to be his mom, Chris Boldt, in the passenger side.

It’s another sign that the exes are getting along very well these days.

The former couple were married in 2005 and welcomed three children, Violet, 19, Fin, 16, along with Samuel.

But 10 years later, in 2015, they separated with their divorce getting finalized in 2018.

Clearly, they have remained on the best of terms as they co-parent their kids, and spending Thanksgiving together as a family is just one tradition they continue to keep.

A source told People, ‘Just like last year, Jen hosted Thanksgiving at her house. Ben and his mom joined.

‘Jen makes it very special. She’s such a great chef. She loves having her whole family together too. Ben’s always welcome at her house.’

The source added that both Garner and Affleck ‘get along and really support each other’ and that the actor is also ‘doing well and staying focused on work, his health and his kids.’

Garner has been in a relationship with burger chain CEO John Miller since 2018. They were split for a brief period before reuniting in 2021 and they’ve been going strong since then.

Affleck ended his two-year marriage to Jennifer Lopez in 2024 with the Bronx-born beauty filing for divorce that August. Their split was finalized in January of this year.

As with Garner, Affleck has maintained the peace with Lopez, 56.

An insider told People last month, ‘They’re in a really good place. They continue to support each other. They’re both proud of what they accomplished together.’

Earlier on Thanksgiving, before her reunion with Affleck, Garner put everything aside to serve the homeless on Skid Row in Los Angeles.

She dished potatoes for The Midnight Mission’s annual charity lunch with a smile on her face.

Last year on Thanksgiving, Garner volunteered for the same shelter – and Affleck as well as their children had also joined her.

A source told Page Six at the time that Affleck felt blessed to spend the holiday with Garner and their children, adding that he ‘can just be himself’ around the Alias alum.

‘Even though Ben and Jen have been split for a while now, he feels a certain level of comfort with her,’ the source continued.

‘Ben has a strong relationship with Jen that will never dissipate because they have a lot of history together and she’s the mother of his kids.

‘They’ll always be close because they share children together and maintain a friendly co-parenting relationship.’
