'My wonderful neighbors made me a plate. Happy Thanksgiving . See you at Christmas mom dad and Rossie,' Riley wrote.
No love lost: Mary and Riley announced their separation in May, after seven years together, by posting this picture alongside a caption promising to love each other forever but Riley later removed his from his profile
It's a been a tough few months for Riley who announced his split from actress Mary Elizabeth in May - the same month that her Fargo co-star Ewan split from his wife of 22 years Eve Mavrakis, 51.
Jilted Riley began a life on the road in August, when he left Los Angeles to film The Art Of Self-Defense with Jesse Eisenberg.
In his more recent posts, he has been calling 2017 a 'motherf***er of a year' and admitting that he is 'taking it day by day.'
Off-screen chemistry: Ewan starred alongside new girlfriend Mary (pictured) in the FX series Fargo - in which she played his sexy love interest Nikki Swango - but pictures captured them kissing a matter of weeks ago
Mary had been married to Riley - a film director and television writer from Austin, Texas - since 2010 after meeting him at age 18 on an ocean cruise.
Meanwhile Mary and Ewan were pictured having an emotional exchange over dinner this week.
The couple looked serious during the meeting at Palihouse in West Hollywood, with each wiping tears from the other's face throughout the exchange.
Speaking out: Ewan's estranged wife Eve Mavrakis (pictured together) finally broken her silence on the split last week
The date came as Mary's estranged husband was forced to deny he made threatening comments against the couple on his Instagram account.
The actors' romance came to light when they were spotted kissing in a bar in October.
Riley was alleged to have told the couple they were 'f***ing dead' in an explosive Instagram rant, from an account appearing to belong to Riley although the images were no longer visible on the page.

He later took to Instagram to pen a denial in which he spoke of the new relationship for the first time, penning: 'The whole process has been a lot for me'.
The alleged post in question read: 'Call me a cuck, will ya? Laugh at me, will ya?F**k the woman of my dreams behind my back, will ya? @mewins @mscregor_ewan You're F***ING dead...' - yet he insisted he did not write the note
Riley used the same account - followed by 6,668 people - to deny the claims and the existence of such messages.
Lashing out: His solemn appearance on social media comes after he dismissed claims that he threatened his 32-year-old ex and her new boyfriend Ewan
Mary Elizabeth's Instagram account has been deleted in the wake of pictures showing her kissing Ewan.
Mary used her Instagram to announce the split, writing in the caption that she would always love him.
The 32-year-old actress wrote: 'We’ve decided to move on from our marriage, but we will stay best friends and collaborators for all our days.'

The beauty added: 'We are still ride or die, just in a different way now. I love you always, Riley.'
Riley shared the same photo on his Instagram with a touching tribute, before proceeding to delete it recently when he found out about the new relationship.
He wrote: 'We just took this photo together. I met Mary 15 years ago and we’ve been the most important people in each other’s lives ever since.'
He continued: 'While we will still be in each other’s lives we will no longer be living those lives together.'
Over: It has since emerged that Ewan and Eve (above) had split in May - the same month Mary Elizabeth announced her separation from her husband Riley Stearns
'We still love each other very much but we’re different people with different paths and different futures. I can’t wait to see where we both end up.'
Riley concluded, 'I’ll always love you, Mary.'
The post has since been removed from his account, hinting that the revelation of Mary's liaison with Fargo co-star Ewan was similarly news to Riley.
Ewan's wife Eve simply asked 'what can I do?' when she broke her silence about her husband's affair with Mary Elizabeth.
Following a second set of pictures that showed the pair kissing, actors Mary and Ewan went public with their new romance last week when he was spotted holding her hand in Los Angeles.
Ewan has been seen moving out of the Los Angeles home he shared with wife Eve and has reportedly found a new bachelor pad nearby.
She starred in the third season of FX Network show Fargo alongside Ewan, during which time she was reportedly invited to his family home for dinner to meet Ewan's wife Eve and his children.

Just last week, it was discovered that Eve broke her silence about his new love by responding to a comment made about Mary on Instagram.
In response to a comment savaging Mary Elizabeth - underneath one of her own photos - Eve made her feelings about Ewan's new romance known for the first time - in a very public address of their split.
The comments appear beside a photo on Eve's Instagram account, which was posted to honour a screenwriting pal's birthday in October.
Clearly angered by their recent separation, a friend of the 51-year-old French beauty penned underneath: 'I can’t believe Ewan would end things with u for that cheap w**re! U are so much better than him!!!! Take him for every penny u can!!!!'
Now: His solemn appearance on social media comes after he dismissed claims that he threatened his 32-year-old ex and her new boyfriend
To which a distraught Eve, who has four children with the actor, 46, simply replied: 'What can I do?'
Ewan and his co-star's romance came as a shock to fans - as pictures of the pair kissing on a dinner date surfaced before the actor had announced his split from his wife.
However, Eve had shared a photo of the Moulin Rouge star on Instagram in June, captioned: 'My love plays the blues in Montreal'.
Ewan and his estranged wife met on the set of TV show Kavanagh QC before the Scottish star became a big name in Hollywood. They share four children together.
Eve, who was married to the actor for 22 years, has since been staying in America with their four daughters since the first pictures of the actor and his new lover emerged.
According to recent reports, Eve felt 'sick and furious' at the affair allegations. The French production designer, who has been seen without her wedding ring, is trying to remain as 'dignified' as possible.
A source told The Sun: 'She is doing her best to handle it with dignity. But what makes it worse is she has been told Mary Elizabeth had a teenage crush on Ewan. I'm sure a lot of people did but they didn't go and have an affair with him.'
They added: 'Mary went to the house once and met Eve and the kids over dinner. She was very cordial. It seemed logical she should get to know Ewan and the family.'
