Thanksgiving is not just another holiday on the calendar; it’s traditionally seen as a time for family gatherings and warm meals. The celebrity world usually adds its own twist to this holiday, combining glamour and heartwarming moments. This Thanksgiving, several A-listers shared their celebrations, offering fans glimpses of their lives intertwined with festive spirit.
One of the most heartwarming stories came from Ben Affleck, who was spotted making his way to ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home for Thanksgiving dinner. The former couple, both 52, showcased what many referred to as amicable exes vibes as they celebrated the holiday together with their three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Dressed casually yet stylishly, Affleck donned a cream-colored shirt over a white undershirt and jeans, completing his look with trendy high-top sneakers. He also carried his signature iced coffee, hinting at his well-known love for Dunkin’ Donuts.
Affleck and Garner didn’t just enjoy the Thanksgiving meal at home; they kicked off the day by volunteering at the Midnight Mission, helping to serve meals to the less fortunate. Images from the charity event showed the pair sporting matching aprons reading "I love the Midnight Mission," as they helped feed around 2,000 people. This thoughtful act earned them praise for their dedication to community service, emphasizing their positive co-parenting dynamic.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez shared her own Thanksgiving experience on social media. While Affleck was with Garner, Lopez marked the holiday with her family, posting photos of her beautifully presented stuffed turkey dinner. The singer-actress, who recently filed for divorce from Affleck after two years of marriage, seemed to embrace the joy of the season with gratitude shown toward her followers.
Moving to another corner of the celebrity sphere, Selena Gomez celebrated Thanksgiving wrapped up cozy with her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco. Gomez shared the moment on her Instagram Stories, where Blanco was seen affectionately hugging her from behind as they enjoyed dinner. The pair, who have been together for over a year, have really made the most out of their relationship, with Gomez stating it was the “safest” she has ever felt.
Just last year, Gomez introduced Blanco to her fans on social media, calling him “my absolute everything.” Their relationship appears strong, with hints from Blanco about seeing marriage with Gomez on the horizon. The singer's recent posts reflect this affection and warmth, promising her fans glimpses of their deepening bond.
