Jennifer Garner Shines as ‘Fantastic Mom’ on Family Outing with Kids – Her Rarely Seen Son Looks Just like Dad

Jennifer Garner was recently spotted with her children on a family outing in Malibu.

The “Yes Day” star’s son and daughter stole the spotlight by sharing a heart-melting sibling moment during their rare family day out.

On Sunday, July 23, Hollywood beauty Jennifer Garner was spotted enjoying a family outing with all three of her children at Soho House in Malibu, California.

The heartwarming sight captured the precious bond between her two youngest kids, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck, 14, and Samuel Affleck, 11, who were photographed sharing an adorable hug outside the restaurant. Violet Anne Affleck, the eldest of the trio at 17, was also present on the delightful occasion.

During the brunch, Seraphina was seen sporting red cargo shorts, a graphic tee, mismatched socks, and a pair of gray sneakers, exuding a laid-back and casual vibe. On the other hand, Samuel, her younger brother, donned a “Good Vibes” hat, which perfectly complemented his blue shirt and gray shorts ensemble.

The duo’s relationship has experienced ups and downs over the years.
Meanwhile, Violet, who joined her mom and siblings on the family outing, opted for a pink hat and a white mask..

Garner, the doting mother, kept a low profile during the outing. She was seen in a black tank top, sunglasses, and a tan sun hat. The “Peppermint” actress further layered her outfit with a black sweatshirt tied around her waist, effortlessly pairing it with black stretch pants and black sneakers to complete her casual look.

As the “Alias” alum co-parents her children with ex-husband and “Gone Girl” actor Ben Affleck, the family moments in public serve as glimpses of their harmonious relationship as parents.

The delightful family brunch comes shortly after Garner’s announcement of reprising her role as Elektra in the much-anticipated superhero sequel, “Deadpool 3.” Despite her success and fame, the actress remains grounded and candid about the challenges of public life, sharing her feelings about constantly being in the spotlight.

As the day unfolded, Garner relished quality time with her beloved children, capturing the essence of family love and togetherness. Many netizens hailed the “Juno” star’s parenting, with one user stating, “She is a great Mom.” A second netizen remarked, “What a great mother she is.” Yet another user commented, “She is a fantastic mother.”

During the family gathering in Malibu on a sunny Sunday afternoon, Garner’s rarely-seen son, Samuel, took center stage as he displayed a striking resemblance to his famous father, Affleck.

The occasion was described as casual and easy, with both sides of the family present.

Though Samuel isn’t frequently seen in public with his parents, he made a rare high-profile appearance alongside his mother at an NBA game in March. The pair enjoyed court-side seats at the Los Angeles Lakers basketball game. Samuel enthusiastically cheered on the team and even had a memorable halftime meeting with legendary Lakers player LeBron James.

On the other hand, Garner and Affleck’s eldest daughter, Violet, caused quite a stir when photos showcased her close resemblance to her mother. The teenager joined her dad, Affleck, and his wife, Lopez, at a Fourth of July bash, capturing the attention of fans who mistook her for her mother, Garner.

In one particular photo, where Affleck was sandwiched between Lopez and Violet, netizens expressed their surprise, with one commenter humorously stating that if someone told them it was Garner, they would have believed that person right away.

Garner and her boyfriend, John Miller, have been spotted showing affection and growing closer over time. An insider shared that the “Catch and Release” alum is becoming more comfortable and secure with Miller, leading her to be less shy around him.

The 51-year-old actress, who has been dating Miller on and off since 2018, was seen sharing a hug during an outing in Los Angeles on June 15, a rare public display of affection for the usually private couple.

Garner seems proud to show off her relationship with Miller, and the two are described as going strong. Miller recently rented a home close to Garner and her children.

While there are reportedly no immediate plans for cohabitation, the Caliburger CEO’s decision to live nearby demonstrates his desire to be close to the “Pearl Harbor” actress and her kids.

The duo’s relationship has experienced ups and downs over the years. Garner and Miller were first reported to be dating in October 2018 and enjoyed a loving and healthy relationship. However, they amicably parted ways in August 2020.

However, they reconciled in May 2021, taking their time to cherish and enjoy their connection without rushing into any formal labels or commitments.

In another significant moment for their relationship, Garner and Miller’s kids finally met each other on April 16, 2022, during a gathering to celebrate Garner’s 50th birthday. The occasion was described as casual and easy, with both sides of the family present.

Garner shares her three kids with Affleck, while Miller has two children from a previous marriage. Previously, they kept their children separate from their relationship, but now they plan to incorporate them more into their lives.

Their friends believe an engagement could be in their future, as they are committed to a long-term relationship and have taken their time to nurture their bond.
