On Father's Day, Jennifer Garner took a moment to reflect on the dads in her life. Her own father passed away last year, and the holiday was sure to be a bittersweet one for the 53-year-old actress.
Jennifer shared a video of her walking alongside her dad on their farm wearing matching overalls. She wrote, "Being fathered by someone who loves being a dad is a gift; my sisters and I know this love and (lucky for us) all of our kids do, too. Happy Father’s Day to the Dads, no matter where you are. To the uncles and grandfathers and father figures, too. We love you."
Jennifer also took the opportunity to send her well-wishes to her ex-husband Ben Affleck, with whom she shares her children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. She shared a throwback photo of one of the babies sleeping on Ben's chest with the message, "Happy Father's Day to 3 people's favorite landing spot."
The two finalized their divorce in 2018 after separating three years earlier, but they have remained close and co-parent their teenage children, and they're often seen together at family outings. And it's clear the respect goes both ways. Ben paid a special visit to Jennifer on Mother's Day, and in March, he told GQ, “I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well.”
Recent paparazzi photos have sparked rumors of a rekindled romance, but Jennifer seems to be going strong with her longtime boyfriend, John Miller.
