“She’s probably the best cook I know,” he said.

According to Affleck, they had roast chicken this year and he was a major fan. But don’t think that he was kicking back with his feet up the whole time; he was in charge of all the cleaning.

In any case, it’s always encouraging to see exes play nice, especially since they have young kids together. We hope to see more positivity for these two in the days to come!
