Jennifer Garner Details "Upheaval" Her Family Experienced After Ben Affleck Divorce
Jennifer Garner is happy her kids have Ben Affleck as a dad.
In honor of Father’s Day, the 13 Going on 30 star reflected on her relationship with her dad William Garner, as well as her kids’ relationship with her ex.
“My sisters and I loved to spoil our dad,” Garner wrote in a June 21 Instagram post. “He never wanted for fresh baked cookies or a bowl of ice cream.”
And the 54-year-old noted how her kids Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17 and Samuel, 14, feel the same way about the Good Will Hunting actor.
“I see the way my kids dote on their dad and I’m happy for them,” Garner added. “To love and be loved by a great dad is a gift. Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads and to the kids of dads, too.”
Although Garner and Affleck split in 2018, they have maintained a close coparenting relationship—and the Alias actress recently detailed how it plays out day-by-day in “two separate households.”
“I become mom and dad; he becomes dad and mom,” Garner told Bustle in February. “You kind of can’t help it, right? Because you don't have the benefit of both sides of the yin and yang being in the same house. And so you have to have a bit of both in the way that you parent.”
Indeed, Garner stressed the unique dynamic works for their family, adding, “There's a little bit of loss in that, but there's also something gained in that.”
Meanwhile, Affleck has emphasized that he and Garner will always share a special bond.

“When you have children with somebody you’re connected to them forever,” Affleck told People in 2020. “And I’m very lucky she is the mother of my children.”
For both Affleck and Garner, it was important for their kids to see a healthy, albeit separate, relationship between them.
“I’m very grateful and respectful of her,” he continued. “Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult. Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not.”
