Jennifer Garner marks Father’s Day by sharing never-before-seen photos of ex-husband Ben Affleck with their children
Jennifer Garner gave a rare look into her family life on Father’s Day, sharing unseen photos of ex-husband Ben Affleck with their children.
The actress, 54, took to Instagram to post the images on Sunday, June 22, as part of a tribute that also honoured her own father, William John Garner, for the annual celebration.
In her caption, Garner reflected on the meaning of fatherhood and the bond between parents and children, writing that she sees how her kids “dote on their dad” and feels happy for them, adding that “to love and be loved by a great dad is a gift.”
The post included several previously unseen family photos, including a throwback image of Affleck with their daughters, Violet and Seraphina, when they were younger.
Another snapshot showed Affleck dressed as Batman while holding their son Samuel, offering a rare glimpse into a lighter, personal moment from his superhero film era.
Garner and Affleck were married in 2005 and finalised their divorce in 2018, but have maintained a close co-parenting relationship since their split.
The former couple have three children together — Violet, Seraphina and Samuel — and have often prioritised privacy while occasionally sharing family milestones publicly.
Over the years, Garner has spoken about the emotional difficulty of ending their marriage, describing it as the “breaking up of a family,” while emphasising the importance of stability for their children.
Despite their separation, Affleck remains an active presence in his children’s lives and is frequently seen attending family outings and sporting events.
Garner has since moved on personally and has been in a long-term relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018.
The Father’s Day post adds to a series of rare public glimpses into their co-parenting dynamic, which both stars have largely kept private while maintaining a united approach to raising their children.
