Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have maintained a dedicated co-parenting partnership long after their marriage ended, focusing on raising their three children, Violet Anne, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth and Samuel, with love, respect and privacy.

The couple, who were married for more than a decade before finalizing their divorce in 2018, have consistently worked together to shield their kids from the glare of celebrity media attention. 

Their oldest, Violet has spoken openly about the challenges of growing up in the public eye, recounting the stress of paparazzi during her early years. 

According to Daily Mail, she’s since begun studies at Yale University and engaged in public health advocacy, including presenting at the United Nations and publishing research on wildfire impacts.

Middle child Seraphina generally stays out of the limelight, making occasional appearances at family events, while Samuel shares his father’s passion for sports.

Furthermore, Affleck has coached his son’s baseball team and supports his basketball interests. The actor has acknowledged moments of over-enthusiasm as a parent but stresses the importance of letting his children find their own paths.

Both Garner and Affleck have spoken fondly about their parenting roles and the efforts they make to co-operate amicably for the sake of their family’s well-being.
