Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner is a film and television actress who has established a long-standing career across both mediums. She gained widespread recognition for her work in television, including her lead role on Alias, and has since built a broad body of work in major cinematic productions and television projects.

During her 13-year marriage to director and actor Ben Affleck, Garner chose to quietly scale back her Hollywood work schedule while focusing on family life. Following the couple's split, which was officially announced in 2015, Garner experienced significant panic about her career stability, long-term earning potential, and financial self-sufficiency as she prepared to raise her family as a single parent.

Garner and Affleck share three children: daughters Violet and Seraphina, as well as their youngest son, Samuel. The former couple has continued to co-parent their children together following their divorce. Although Garner recently declined an offer to act in Affleck's sixth directorial feature film Animals, the exes maintain a collaborative co-parenting relationship.
