Jen Affleck got a sentimental gift from her husband, Zac Affleck, for Christmas.
Jen, 26, showed off the meaningful present that Zac, 28, gave her for the holiday, and it was even familiar to fans. In a TikTok video shared on Sunday, December 28, Jen recorded herself opening a note from Zac while he snuck into the frame with a large wrapped gift in his arms. She gave him a side eye while reading the note. “I’m already crying,” she wrote on the screen while tearing the wrapping paper off.
“I think it’s that time of month where, like, just everything makes me cry,” the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star said with a laugh. “This is a big present!”
After removing the wrapping paper, Jen revealed her gold Dancing With the Stars costume set in a glass frame. She immediately started tearing up when she recognized her first-ever costume, which she wore while posing with pro Jan Ravnik in their promo photos ahead of season 34. Below the costume were photos of her dancing in the ballroom, along with a gold plaque of her season number.
“Are you kidding me?!” Jen said to Zac while wiping a tear from her eye. “How did you know this one was my favorite?” she asked.
Zac replied, “I wanted it to represent your postpartum journey. “So I did the funny picture in your gown and one of you dancing.”
Jen then got up and ran into her husband’s arms. “This is better than the Mirror Ball [trophy],” she told him. “I’m not even kidding. This is the best gift ever.” She joked, “How are you gonna come up with a better one than that?” (Season 34 ended with Robert Irwin and Witney Carson taking home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Jen and Jan, 30, came in ninth place.)

Zac playfully answered, “You better keep doing cool things!” Jen concluded the video by giving Zac a kiss.
“The best Christmas gift 🥺🎁 @Zac Affleck #dwts,” she captioned the post. Her celebrity friends and fans went wild for the meaningful present in the comments section.
“STOP THIS IS SO PRECIOUS,” fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Ezra Sosa gushed, while her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costar Layla Taylor added, “Wait omg stop 🥺.” Elaine Hendrix added, “Love this. Love you.” More fans gushed that Zac got her “such a nice gift.”
Jen made her DWTS debut just two months after giving birth to her third baby, daughter Penelope “Penny” in July.
After receiving good critiques from the judges on week 3, Jen exclusively told Us Weekly her score meant “everything” to her. “Because, I think, just being freshly postpartum, I still struggle with body image and I think all of us women do, especially after having a baby,” she explained. “So any compliments that we get, we’re just like, ‘Man, [that] means a lot.’”
During the show, Jen confessed that it was “a lot” to have three kids under 3 while competing. “My body hurts. I’m still recovering from giving birth, but I’m having so much fun and I’m doing it for my kids so, in the future, they can do this too.”
