This year marks Lopez’s first Thanksgiving since she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, 52, in August after two years of marriage. The documents listed their separation date as April 26, 2024.
Affleck spent Thanksgiving with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52, as the pair were pictured volunteering and serving meals to the homeless community in Los Angeles at The Midnight Mission annual Thanksgiving Street Fair.
Every Thanksgiving, the non-profit organization “hosts a celebration for thousands of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Skid Row,” the website states, adding that the event includes a holiday meal and live entertainment.
“They truly enjoy giving back to their community and cherishing quality time together as a family,” a source told PEOPLE of Affleck and Garner’s outing.

Affleck and Garner — who split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage before finalizing their divorce three years later — appeared to be in good spirits as they posed with the non-profit’s CEO, David Prentice, for a photo shared on Instagram.
The exes — who share kids Violet Anne, 18, Seraphina Rose, 15, and Samuel, 12, together — donned matching Midnight Mission aprons in the snap.

Their outing came after a source told PEOPLE this week that Affleck was planning on taking a break from filming his upcoming movie RIP with pal Matt Damon over the holidays, so he could spend some quality time with his children.
The insider said, “He’s very happy with life. He enjoys working. He’ll spend Thanksgiving with his kids.”

“Jennifer is doing well. She doesn’t dwell on the past,” the insider said of the Atlas star. “She’s so grateful for everything that she has. The divorce is still being worked out.”
The source added, “Jennifer keeps in touch with the Affleck kids. Her whole family loves them. She wants them to know that they can always reach out if they need anything at all.”
