Jennifer Garner is an emotionally proud mama as her daughter Violet, whom she shares with Ben Affleck, graduates from high school.
In an Instagram post on Monday, May 20, Garner posted a series of pictures, including one of her shedding some tears while at the graduation ceremony.
“Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate,” she wrote in the post’s caption, with a graduation cap emoji. “Bless our hearts.”
Jennifer Garner also reflected on her and Affleck’s daughter moving on from her childhood. “How are we going to make it? she asked in a video. “What are we going to do?” She then lifted her glasses and wiped tears from her eyes.
Fans and friends quickly shared their love and support for the Juno star in the post. “Oh honey,” Garner’s long-time friend Reese Witherspoon wrote. “I know. You have done a great job, mama! I will be here for support and lots of hugs.”
Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman, wrote, “It’s a deep, searing pain/joy/grief/pride/mourning!!! Congratulations!”
Gwyneth Paltrow added, “I’m sooooo with you.”
Jennifer Garner Recently Opened Up About Her and Ben Affleck’s Daughter Violet Was Doing College Tours
During her November 2023 appearance on Live With Kelly & Mark, Jennifer Garner spoke about how her and Ben Affleck’s eldest daughter Violet was going on college tours.
“It is exciting,” she said. “I can see the stress — even though the excitement and stress go hand in hand. But she’s handling it like a champ and she’s totally in charge. I’m not having to say, ‘Are you doing this, are you doing this?’ She’s a self-starter. And I’m just proud of her no matter what.”
Garner did not share which colleges Violet was touring at, nor did she reveal which college her eldest daughter ended up picking.
Along with Violet, Jennifer Garner shares Fin and Samuel with ex-husband Ben Affleck. The former spouses were married from 2005 to 2018.
Garner and Affleck have seemingly co-parenting well over the years. They were seen together over the weekend while attending Samuel’s basketball game with Violet.
In her social media post, Jennifer Garner did not include any photos of Ben Affleck being at graduation. Affleck’s current wife Jennifer Lopez was also nowhere to be seen in the post. However, that could be due to the rumored marriage issues that Affleck and Lopez are currently going through.
