Jennifer Lopez’s Son Max Lays on Ben Affleck’s Shoulder in Their First Thanksgiving Video on Instagram 

Thanksgiving is all about family coming together and making fond memories (over a delicious plate of food, of course). Jennifer Lopez treated her followers to a reel video on her personal Instagram page, which captured all the loving moments her family shared over the holiday. And to our delight, the slideshow featured a very special moment between her 14-year-old son Max and her husband, Ben Affleck.

While set to the tune of “The One” (sung by J.Lo herself), the video footage showed everything from the singer trying a tasty treat to her posing in a cozy brown fur coat. But, the greatest moment of all came when Max was seen laying on his stepdad’s shoulder while they enjoyed a ride in a car. Another clip showed Max and his twin sister, Emme, laying on mommy’s lap.

Lopez wrote in the caption, “This Is … Thanksgiving Holiday #ThisIsMeNow #PhotoDump #Family.” This year is particularly special for Lopez and Affleck because it is the first Thanksgiving holiday they’ve spent together as a married couple.

Earlier this year, the pair surprised everyone and announced their engagement back in April. Just a few months later, the couple secretly got married and obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas. Shortly after, the pair held a more traditional wedding ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Don’t you just love the holidays?
