Ben & Jen’s Daughter Just SHOCKED Everyone With This!

by

Violet Affleck is putting her college studies to use.

19-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, a student at Yale University, recently published an academic research paper on May 18th in the school’s Global Health Review, which is related to her ongoing studies.

In her work, Violet made connections between the destructive wildfires in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades, which occurred in January, and the societal reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. She also shared unique perspectives about her family life, characterizing her mother as being left stunned and amazed by the fires’ devastation.

In the essay, Violet expressed that she wasn’t taken aback by her own surprise. As a native Angelena and climate-savvy member of Generation Z, her query was not about if the Palisades would catch fire but rather when it would happen.

During a speech in July, the college freshman discussed the impact of COVID-19, reminiscing about a conversation she had with her 13-year-old brother. He was curious to know if there was any link between climate change and the powerful winds that intensified the wildfires.

She went on to say, ‘I believe many of us have a clearer understanding of the climate crisis compared to my younger sibling.’

Ben and Jennifer, who were married from 2005 to 2018 and are parents to their 16-year-old daughter Seraphina, have frequently praised the unique paths each of their children is taking. In fact, the actress from “13 Going on 30” stated that Violet was assertively managing her post-secondary decisions, taking charge as she planned for the future.

Jennifer, aged 53, expressed this during her November 2023 interview on “Live with Kelly and Mark”. She stated, “She takes initiative on her own”, implying that she’s independent, and added, “I’m always proud of her, regardless of the outcome.

In a commendable manner, Ben, aged 52, acknowledged and appreciated his kids for voicing their unique perspectives, regardless of whether it meant critiquing him, as was the case when they accompanied him to watch his new film, The Accountant 2.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live! in April, Ben playfully commented that his friends might sit beside him to watch a movie and during the filming, they’d say things like, “This is awful. Why did you make us do this?” followed by, “Let’s wait until it’s over.” In simpler terms, he was joking about his friends criticizing the movie midway through, but suggesting they could hold off on their judgment until the end.

Fortunately, the action thriller earned favorable reviews from the trio.

He admitted that they genuinely enjoyed it. I responded with surprise, asking if they truly liked it, to which they replied affirmatively. They seemed stunned, as though it was a stroke of good fortune or a fortuitous occurrence that what I did turned out well.

For some of Jennifer’s most memorable quotes on parenting, keep reading.

In terms of co-parenting, Jennifer Garner consistently keeps a friendly rapport with her former spouse Ben Affleck, primarily focusing on their kids – Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel – ensuring their wellbeing.

In a 2016 interview with Vanity Fair, Garner expressed that it’s not Ben’s responsibility to make her happy. Instead, they are both focused on their shared goal of raising their children well, and they both share the same hopes for them.

She added, “Indeed, I no longer hold the hope of dancing with my spouse at my daughter’s wedding. Yet, witness their expressions when he arrives! If you observe how unreservedly and deeply your children cherish someone, then it’s inevitable that you’ll become fond of that person yourself.

Despite the fact that they are both accomplished actors, Garner prefers not to raise her children within the confines of the Hollywood lifestyle.

She shared with Southern Living that it’s crucial for her children to understand not everyone lives like those in Los Angeles. “The glamorous lifestyle depicted there doesn’t represent most of the world,” she added, expressing a desire for her kids to adopt the Southern values she grew up with, such as taking time to greet people and appreciating simple pleasures like enjoying nature.

And that’s why her parenting style is very hands-on.

She expressed that instilling values in children is an ongoing process throughout their lives, not something that can be easily handed over like a set of values themselves. Instead, it’s about demonstrating your own values through actions.

As an ardent admirer, I’d like to share a profound insight: For me, setting a good example is undeniably the pinnacle of responsibility. Jennifer Garner, former Alias star, recently emphasized this notion, adding that she and Ben Affleck, my beloved ex-spouse, aspire for our children to acknowledge and admire the dedication we pour into our work.

Of course, there is no one standard way of parenting.

During his 2016 interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Garner simply pointed out that, regardless of your intentions, ultimately it’s not within your control to follow someone else’s advice.

The 13 Going on 30 actress recommended that parents should learn to “relax and move on” when concerns arise, adding, “Life will be challenging at times. It’s difficult for everyone involved.

For Garner, establishing clear boundaries and guidelines is essential for keeping a well-organized environment that benefits her children.

She told Us Weekly that it’s necessary, though perhaps not attractive. She admitted she might not excel at it, but she strives to maintain consistency so they know what to anticipate from her.

Whenever she encounters an obstacle in her parenting path, Garner thinks that every new day presents an opportunity for a do-over.

As an overly enthusiastic fan, I excitedly declared to the folks at People, “You never hesitate to say, ‘Today, let’s give this a shot!’ If things don’t pan out as planned, you can always switch gears and exclaim, ‘Today, we’re scrapping that, and we’re trying something new!’

The actress added, “That’s part of what I like about being a mom in general.”

Garner’s motherhood joy extends into the cinematic universe as well.

She expressed her delight during an interview with Today, stating, “I’m truly enjoying being a mother since there seems to be no period more fulfilling for women than when they are caring for their children.
