How Jennifer Lopez Is Spending Her First Thanksgiving Amidst Ben Affleck Divorce
They're both in Los Angeles.
Jennifer Lopez is kicking off this year’s Turkey Day festivities surrounded by her loved ones. As the multi-hyphenate prepares for her first Thanksgiving since filing for divorce from Ben Affleck in September, she wore her favorite Gen Z-approved denim silhouette as she headed to a pre-turkey meal with friends on Wednesday.
On Nov. 27, the “On the Floor” singer confirmed that she'll be in Los Angeles for Thanksgiving, wearing a plunging crisp white dress shirt that was unbuttoned all the way down to her bra as she stepped out for lunch in Hollywood, per Page Six. Lopez, who’s been on a baggy jean style streak in recent months, kept the casual silhouette going as she paired flared light-wash pants with towering nude platform heels, oversized gradient sunglasses, and a middle-parted sleek blowout for Thanksgiving Eve. A caramel crocodile Birkin bag took her effortless look into rich mom territory.
While Lopez and her ex will both be celebrating Thanksgiving in Los Angeles this year, they’ll reportedly be spending the holiday apart. On Wednesday, People reported that Affleck was looking forward to” enjoying a Turkey Day with his three kids and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner at the 13 Going On 30 actress’s home.
“He’s very happy with life,” an insider told the outlet, revealing that Affleck was planning to take a break from filming his new crime thriller RIP with Matt Damon for the day. “He enjoys working. He’ll spend Thanksgiving with his kids.” Meanwhile, a source reportedly told The DailyMail that Garner’s boyfriend John Miller would also be joining the exes and their children Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, for the "meaningful” festivities – an especially emotional celebration amidst the recent death of Garner's dog Byrdie.
“Ben and Jen are looking forward to today and Ben is anticipating a relaxing day full of food and football before he has to get back to work on the film,” the source told the publication. “Thanksgiving is all about being drama free when it comes to Ben, it is going to be low key, only good vibes and Jen is on board to make today as easy as possible.”
While Lopez will be skipping out on their Thanksgiving plans, it looks like she’s already busy ringing in the holiday surrounded by her loved ones.
