Renowned actress Jennifer Garner is brimming with excitement as she looks forward to a significant milestone in her family — her eldest daughter, Violet, turning eighteen and venturing into the world of college. Garner recently shared her joy and pride during an appearance on Live with Kelly & Mark, providing insights into this pivotal moment in her daughter’s life.
As the host playfully inquired about the approaching adulthood in Garner’s household, the actress couldn’t contain her enthusiasm, stating, “I am. I’m about to have an adult.” With just three days left until Violet’s eighteenth birthday, Garner expressed her disbelief and invited the hosts to share in her astonishment.
The conversation naturally drifted towards the college preparations, with the co-host asking, “And you’re on college tours and all that?” Garner confirmed the ongoing college exploration phase, revealing that Violet is actively engaged in the process. The actress acknowledged the mix of excitement and stress that accompanies this significant life transition.
Jennifer Garner, at 51, conveyed the exhilaration of witnessing her daughter step into adulthood. “It is exciting. I can see the stress — even though the excitement and stress go hand in hand,” she shared. Despite the challenges, Garner commended Violet’s resilience, stating, “But she’s handling it like a champ, and she’s totally in charge.”
Highlighting Violet’s proactive approach to the college journey, Garner expressed her pride, saying, “I’m not having to say, ‘Are you doing this, are you doing this?’ She’s a self-starter. And I’m just proud of her no matter what.” The actress’s admiration for her daughter’s independence and responsibility shines through as she navigates this crucial phase of life.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who share three children, embarked on their journey of parenthood after tying the knot in 2005. However, a decade later, in 2015, the couple decided to part ways. As Violet approaches adulthood, the family dynamic continues to evolve, marked by shared pride and support for each member’s individual journey.
As Jennifer Garner eagerly awaits Violet’s eighteenth birthday, her sentiments reflect the universal experience of parents witnessing their children grow into adulthood. The actress’s openness about the excitement, stress, and pride that accompany this transition resonates with many families navigating similar milestones.
