Growing up in the public eye can be tough, even for celebrities. Actress Jennifer Garner understands this better than anyone, which is why she has made it a priority to keep her home life with her three children private. Jennifer, known for her roles in movies like “13 Going On 30,” shares three kids – Violet, 13, Seraphina, 10, and Samuel, 10, with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Since her split from Affleck in 2018, Jennifer has chosen to shield her children from the spotlight.
While Jennifer does maintain an online presence to promote her work, she has taken a different approach when it comes to her children. In a recent interview on Katie Couric’s podcast, she expressed her concerns about the negative impacts of social media on kids. Jennifer worries about the pressure and unhealthy comparison that comes with it, and that’s why she has not allowed her children to have Instagram accounts.
Jennifer’s eldest daughter, Violet, has occasionally expressed interest in joining Instagram, but Jennifer encourages her to think critically about it. Rather than giving in to the societal pressures, Jennifer wants Violet to wait until there is evidence that using Instagram makes teenage girls happier. She believes that the current landscape of social media does not have much positive to offer her daughter.
Recently, both Jennifer and Ben shared a photo of their 17-year-old daughter, Violet on social media. Fans were amazed by the striking resemblance between Violet and her famous mother. Sporting an all-white ensemble and pigtails, Violet looked like Jennifer’s spitting image.
People couldn’t help but comment on the resemblance between Violet and Jennifer. Some even mistook the picture for a potentially awkward moment between Jennifer, Ben’s wife, and his ex-wife. But in reality, the strong resemblance is a testament to the talent and good looks that run in the family.
In a world obsessed with social media and constant attention, Jennifer Garner’s choice to protect her children’s privacy is refreshing. It not only shows her love and care for her children but also sets a positive example for other parents navigating the challenges of raising kids in the age of Instagram. Jennifer believes that Violet, just like any other teenager, deserves the chance to grow and discover her own path without the added pressures of social media scrutiny.
