Their 18-year-old daughter Violet recently achieved a significant milestone by graduating from high school. In a cherished family moment, she was seen donning a navy Yale hoodie, signaling her future college plans.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck came together to mark this special occasion. On May 30, the ‘Air’ actor and the ‘Family Switch’ star reunited to join their families in celebrating Violet’s high school graduation. Alongside them were Affleck’s wife Jennifer Lopez and her twins, Emme and Max, both 16 years old.
Garner also attended the ceremony in Los Angeles, accompanied by the couple’s other children, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
A photo posted on the school’s public Instagram account showed the graduating Class of 2024, many dressed in sweatshirts from their future colleges. Violet stood out in her navy sweatshirt marked with ‘Yale’ in white, hinting at her academic aspirations.
In a heartwarming show of emotion, Garner commented with “♥️♥️♥️.”
Earlier this month, Garner shared a series of touching photos on Instagram from Violet’s pre-graduation sendoff ceremony. The images captured her teary moments as a proud mother.
She captioned the post with, “Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate. 🎓 (bless our hearts 🥺♥️🤣).”
In one photo, a teary-eyed Garner applauded amid a hall filled with other proud parents. Another image showed her wiping tears while standing outside, wearing a lanyard with her name displayed.
Garner’s emotions continued even while sitting on a plane, where she vulnerably asked in a video clip, “How are we going to make it? What are we going to do?” The heartfelt clip showed her lifting her glasses to wipe away more tears with a tissue.
A final photo from that post featured Garner with a pair of silver glasses adorned with ‘2024’ written in large black digits, a playful nod to her daughter’s graduation year.
In November 2023, Garner shared her thoughts on Violet’s readiness for college tours, expressing pride in her daughter’s preparation for the next phase of her life.
Graduating from high school and heading off to college is a big deal, both for the young graduates and their parents. It’s a time filled with mixed emotions—pride for the accomplishments and a touch of sadness as they prepare to leave home. For Garner and Affleck, these moments are filled with joy, love, and the promise of an exciting future for Violet.
