Another year, another story about how Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spend holidays together for their kids. Theyve consistently told us that they do this, and I wonder how that is for them sometimes. Its probably a mixed bag in that theyve done it for so long that its familiar, but your ex is your ex for a reason. Heres that report in People Magazine, which is the PR song weve heard from them for years.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spent Thanksgiving together!
Affleck and Garner, both 47, reunited on Thursday for the holiday, which they spent with their three children ? Violet, 13; Seraphina, 10 and Samuel, 7 ? as well as his mother in Los Angeles.
?They all celebrated Thanksgiving together. It?s very important for both Jennifer and Ben that they celebrate all the holidays together as a family,? a source tells PEOPLE.
?Ben looks great. He returned to L.A. to have a fun Thanksgiving with his kids,? a separate insider says, adding that ?they all took the kids to the movies.?
[From People]
I wonder what movie they saw and would bet it was Frozen 2. Good for them. I still spend some holidays with my ex, but not all of them as he lives in Germany. It might be easier if he lived down the block, although maybe not. Compare Jennifer Garner and Ben Afflecks announcement to how Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon posted Thanksgiving photos together with their twins and Mariahs young boyfriend. Thats kind of badass, although Mariah threw a huge Thanksgiving party and is in no way comparable to Jennifer Garner or just about anyone really.
Jennifer also got a special message from Julie Andrews, who called her from the set of Katie Courics podcast. I saw the recording of that moment on ET Canada, thats below, and Jen got overwhelmed in that moment. Last month she posted video of herself crying while watching The Sound of Music and this month she got a personal call from Julie. I guess Katie Couric had Jennifers number and set it up. That must be an awesome perk of being famous, that youre one degree of separation away from anyone you want to meet. The downside is that everyone knows your business and you have to keep up appearances, although Garner is particularly skilled at that. There are photos of them from Friday having what appears to be an intense conversation/argument though.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Heres that video of Julie Andrews calling Jennifer. Its queued up to where that part starts.

These quotes from Jennifer Garner in the title are from a panel she did in September, but I keep up with the news about her and theyre new to me. People Magazine used them as filler for one of Jens relatable mom! moments on Instagram, a photo she posted of herself in wet hair, her robe and slippers while waiting for her daughters school bus. Thats below. She bugs, but this is her brand and shes done a lot toward building that with Instagram so I get it. I also sometimes do find her relatable, like this story she told about making homemade stuff for your kids and having them reject it.
?I can?t really complain about my kids,? she said in September, speaking at an INBOUND panel in Boston, Massachusetts. ?They?re pretty awesome. They humor me.?
?But I have chilled out and stopped trying to be my mom,? she added at the panel, explaining that growing up, her mom cooked everything from scratch and she used to try to do the same.
?Here I am making homemade wheat thins like a nerd and my kids don?t want them,? she said. ?The harder you work on whatever you?re making for your kids, the less apt they are to eat it.?
But Garner?s new laid back approach to parenting hasn?t affected her need to protect her kids? privacy.
?It?s so gnarly to be a kid now,? Garner told InStyle in August. ?I guard my kids? privacy as much as I possibly can, and I?ve never posted pictures of them on Instagram. I used to refuse to say their names during interviews ? but everyone knows their names! I would just say ?my eldest,? which I still do out of habit a lot.?
?I?m sure there are times my kids would really love to see themselves reflected on my social media in a fun way and to have the attention they would get from that. But I?ve fought too hard against it. It would feel hypocritical,? she continued. ?There?s no implied judgment of people who do put their kids up there; I just don?t think most kids have been hounded in the way that mine were when they were little.?
[From People]
We did report on that second filler quote People Magazine is using, the one about not posting her kids photos on Instagram and guarding their privacy. Thats a mixed bag with Garner and Affleck in that we always see them out with their kids when they have a PR crisis. I suspect theres no escaping that cycle unless they move. I wanted to talk about cooking though. I do cook him meals, but when my son was smaller I stopped bothering because he never seemed to really like what I cooked. I swear I could cook the exact same thing as my mom and grandmas was always better. Now that hes a teenager though he appreciates the dinners I make and so I cook for him more. He once told me he knew when we were having company because I would make dinner and that cut me deep. After that I made it a goal to cook for him about twice a week, no matter how busy I am. I know thats not much and I make quicker meals on the off days, like black bean or turkey burgers, baked potatoes with ham and cheese and things like that.
Heres Jens post, which gave us yet another reason to talk about her. She knows her audience.

She barely made the bus on time, but at least her mother kept it classy. ?????

These are photos of Jennifer Garner in an off-the-shoulder Stella McCartney LBD at the Hollywood Film Awards yesterday. She wears a lot of black to events and this is a standard look from her. She did switch up her styling a little with a center part, which is lovely. Her makeup is odd though, and it looks like they forgot to use mascara. They tried something different with her and it didnt work.
Us Magazine, which is clearly Jennifers outlet of choice, ran a story about Jens boyfriend, John Miller, which sounded similar to past stories theyve had on him. Remember the thinly veiled shade about Ben in other US articles about John? Im thinking about the line from a story in August that Jen feels like shes finally found a true partner in John. This article is more of the same. John has been living with Jen as hes been evacuated from his home, which is threatened by the terrible fires in California. Hes been so supportive of her since Bens relapse, and hes just the complete opposite of Ben. Hes so wonderful!
Despite the distressing development in Affleck?s recovery from alcoholism, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly that Garner, 47, ?knows she can rely on? the businessman, who has been staying with the actress since his home was evacuated in the aftermath of the Getty fire in Los Angeles.
?They are very happy, and going strong,? the source tells Us. ?John has been a rock for Jennifer, especially during Ben?s recent relapse?
Though Garner has said she will always support her ex-husband in his recovery, a source tells Us that the Alias alum?s relationship with Miller, 40, is as solid as ever.
?Ben?s struggles with sobriety don?t impact their relationship because Jennifer doesn?t feel solely responsible for him,? the source reveals. ?John is just the complete opposite of Ben though.?
[From US Magazine]
I get it, Jen wants the public to know that she has a boyfriend and that shes not back with Ben despite their united front after Bens relapse. It makes sense. Its been pointed out so many times that its interesting how Jen is never photographed with John. Thats especially true now that we know hes been staying with her. I think thats Johns choice, not Jens. Im surprised theyre still together as it cant be easy to date someone under the microscope of the press and paparazzi. Maybe John is the opposite of Ben in that respect too, he doesnt want anyone to talk about him.
Heres Jen at church yesterday. Im surprised Ben didnt go with her.

Do you miss the constant updates and sourced quotes about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garners divorce? I do not, but I remember that time somewhat fondly, as hard as it was to keep up with. Ben and Jen must have had an entire PR team releasing quotes which were worded slightly differently, all about how they were coparenting and putting the kids first. Sometimes they would shade each other a little when things got out of hand, but it was never bad. You could tell that they were on the same page with the kids, even as Ben was drinking and when he dumped his mistress-turned-official girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus, by stepping out with that Playboy model. The whole PR approach was a good strategy, in theory, but they needed to show more restraint and they have lately. Jen is on Instagram and shes also dialing it back and not having to control as much of the narrative, since Ben is sober now and isnt messing up as much. So heres the latest in US about Garner and Afflecks relationship, and how Garners boyfriend, John Miller, has made Ben a better person or something.
?Jen having a boyfriend has been the best thing to happen to Ben and Jen in a long time,? says an insider, noting that ?Ben?s become a better parent.?
Since their split in 2015, the actor has stepped things up in his role as dad to Violet, 13, Seraphina, 10, and Samuel, 7.
?He?s really showing Jen that he can be a better person,? says a source about the Justice League star. ?They?re coparenting in a way they never have before.?
?He ultimately just wants to be the best father he can be and part of that is continuing a loving relationship with Jen,? adds a source.
The Gone Girl actor is also getting along great with Cali Group CEO, 41, too. ?Ben has no problem with John,? says the insider, noting that Miller?s daughters from a previous marriage have had ?playdates with Jen and Ben?s kids. Ben totally trusts him.?
[From US Magazine]
In the video theres another quote that Jen feels like shes finally found a true partner. Thats total shade. You know who this is coming from and Im sure shed be happier if hed just step out with her. Remember the cover story on US in January that Miller was going to propose to Garner sometime over the summer? I wonder what happened to that. This is a nice story though and I believe it. I bet Ben treats Jen way better when he knows he has competition and cant get her back anytime he wants. I also think its true that Ben is nice to John and doesnt have an issue with him. Thats the kind of guy he is, hes always cool with other dudes.

| | Jennifer Garner on what 'breaks the girlfriend code' and 'is not part of the deal' | | Added 5 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Im sorry for making the title clickbaity but I couldnt figure out how to explain this in our two line format. The first thing that comes to mind when I think ?girlfriend code? is ?sleeping with your ex or current boyfriend.? In one of the segments released from her People?s Most Beautiful interview Jennifer Garner makes it a lot milder though. She says that making you feel guilty for not keeping in touch, or for hanging out with someone else, breaks the code. I feel like the code is reserved for more serious violations involving the most important people in your inner circle. The women who do the guilting thing are the ones whom you never let in, you know? Nobody has time for that and those people are easy to spot, but I get what she means.
[Jennifer Garner] knows what?s important when it comes to the girlfriends in her life.
?Sense of humor,? she tells PEOPLE in this week?s cover story. ?And a lack of guilt. I do not believe friendship should or can come with guilt. Like a friend who says, ?You haven?t called me,? or ?I saw you out with someone else.? That is not part of the deal. That breaks the girlfriend code.?
[Garner] especially appreciates her friendships with other mothers.
?Oh my gosh, I was the world?s most anxious first time mom that ever lived, and I really did it in a vacuum,? she explains. ?I didn?t have girlfriends around who were having babies at the same time. I wasn?t part of a moms? group with my first. I was so isolated that I really missed out on everything.?
Garner has a wealth of support from her tribe. ?From girlfriends modeling for me or seeing something and thinking, ?Oh, I?m going to cherry pick that from you? and ?I love the way you handled that? and ?I want that sentence in my brain? and ?I need to write that down,? she says. ?Because that?s what it is when you are parenting in a community. I mean the moms at my kids? school are the moms that I look up to and try to emulate.?
?There is nothing more important, other than your kids ? no man, no relationship, no anything ? than your girlfriends,? Garner says. ?You find your tribe, you take care of them, you treat them with the love and respect they deserve, insist on the same back for yourself.?
?If something goes wrong, if you can let it go, let it go. If they?re not serving you, let that friendship go,? she adds. ?See if you grow together, [or] if you grow apart, but your girlfriends are the key to life.?
[From People]
Again that?s just an annoyance from an acquaintance, not a code violation. I would put that on the level of being flaky as hell. Like you consider someone as a friend candidate but they?re not reliable so you don?t bother. That said, I bet she has someone specific in mind and I wonder what happened there. Will that person know and be like ?that?s cold??
Garner was also on Ellen this week. She said she ?didn?t even know? that People was going to choose her Most Beautiful, that she was ?really honored and flattered? and that it was ?so nice of People to think outside the box.? Remember when she called out People for running a cover of her without her permission? She also said, of the quote on the title that she?s grateful every day, that gratitude is an important quality to have, especially to model to your children. I thought that was nice actually, I did! I need to remember that more.

Jennifer Garner has worked as Neutrogena brand representative for years. She usually goes without makeup day-to-day and shes talked about feeling like a different person when shes fully made up for events, and wondering what kind of influence that has on her daughters. So up until now shes focused her Neutrogena promotion on skincare primarily sunscreen and has not done much with Neutrogenas makeup line. (Last year, in a promotional interview, she said I feel like makeup ages you and said that she only wears a little concealer, a little blush and maybe some lipstick if she remembers.) Jennifer also has ads for Neutrogenas Rapid Repair wrinkle cream and retinol oil. The ad I saw focuses on her lifestyle and includes a clip of her baking cookies and collecting eggs from her chickens. So this is just a promotional interview shes doing for Neutrogena.
?First off, I wash my face every single night, no matter what, says Garner. I honestly wear no makeup unless there?s a reason to, but if I happen to have eye makeup on that day I?ll remove all of it.
She adds: I also hate that feeling when your skin looks sallow and you can see it in the texture. I swear by the hyaluronic acid in Neutrogena?s Hydroboost for that because it gives you a plump, bouncy, and dewy effect. And of course, sunscreen. The Ultra Sheer 100 SPF goes on well under makeup and just makes everything look better.
But SPF and hyaluronic acid isnt all Garner swears by. ?My biggest skincare struggle was definitely figuring out retinol, Garner shares. Being in my mid-40s, retinol really is the most important product for anti-aging. But I have sensitive skin, so everything people gave me kept turning my face red, itchy, and blotchy. The Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair was a lifesaver for me. It?s combined with an oil so it?s a little more gentle than other retinols and doesn?t irritate my skin.?
[From Marie Claire]
I use a little Retinol oil, it came with this set of three oils that I included in a skincare post. I only use it at night and I based that on a review on Amazon for those oils. Ive also used this very inexpensive retinol cream and its a nice hydrating cream. Im not sure how well retinol works to prevent or reduce wrinkles, but I havent had any redness as Garner mentioned. Marie Claire quoted a dermatologist who recommended using a less than 1% Retinol solution, using it at night as it increases sun sensitivity and finding a brand that combines it with soothing botanicals. As for this advice from Garner, she obviously gets a little Botox and fillers but its not on brand for her to admit to this, especially when shes shilling an over-the-counter product. Whatever she gets done at the dermatologist is surely doing more for her than creams and oils though.
The photos of Garner in the sequin top are from December after she seemingly had a little something done. Its since settled, as you can see in the photo of her wearing glasses, taken yesterday. Credit: WENN and Backgrid

A couple of days ago, when we covered the story about Jennifer Garners April Fools Day prank, some of you speculated in the comments that she have be broken up with her boyfriend, restaurant technology innovator John Miller, at some point. We havent seen them out together in ages and she gets photographed basically every day. Well US Magazine had a story leading up to the weekend which I missed because it was just a little update they buried. A source tells them that Jennifer and John are doing great, thanks for asking, and that she loves that hes a simple guy who is not in the entertainment industry. US also repeated a source quote from back in January that they wouldnt be surprised if these two got engaged by the summer.
Jennifer Garner is more than happy to keep her romance with beau John Miller out of the spotlight ? and she doesn?t mind that his career draws less attention than hers.
?They?re doing great,? a source exclusively reveals of the private pair in the new issue of Us Weekly. ?[Jennifer] loves that he?s not in the entertainment industry and is just a simple guy.?
?No one would be surprised if they got engaged by summer. John has discussed marrying Jen,? a second insider exclusively told Us in January, noting that the Peppermint star ?admires John because he is just normal.?
Garner?s three kids with Affleck ? Violet, 13, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 7 ? also approve of their mom?s boyfriend, who she is ?very much in love? with, added the second source.
[From US Magazine]
So just in case you were wondering, since Ben Affleck has been seen out so often with Lindsay Shookus, Jennifer is doing fine with her boyfriend. I get the impression she would rather show this with a photo op but that hes not keen on doing that. Meanwhile there was a rumor that Ben Afflecks girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus, is pregnant. I wouldnt have heard about it except for Gossip Cop debunking it. Apparently an outlet saw Lindsays Bed Bath and Beyond bag, where she was shopping for pillows over the weekend with John, and because it said Buy Buy Baby they thought it was from a baby store. Theres a Buy Buy Baby store inside the Bed Bath and Beyond but its just a combo bag for both stores. Lindsay isnt pregnant according to the source who spoke to Gossip Cop. For all you can say about Ben, and theres plenty because his last girlfriend we know about was a 22 year-old Playboy model, hes dating a woman around his age and I doubt either of them are clamoring for more kids. Same with Jennifer Garner.
