Jennifer Garner recently made time for a family movie outing ahead of Thanksgiving. The actress took her children, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, to an AMC Theater in Santa Monica, California, on Tuesday to catch a screening of Wicked, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six.
Dressed casually, the 52-year-old star wore a navy jacket, coordinating leggings, a baseball cap, and vibrant orange sneakers. Samuel also opted for a laid-back look, sporting black sweatpants, Nikes, and a Snoopy T-shirt. Meanwhile, Seraphina complemented her black Adidas sneakers with a blue crewneck sweatshirt.
Jennifer Garner’s casual movie night with her kids before the holiday season
Garner co-parents her children with ex-husband Ben Affleck, with whom she shares 18-year-old daughter Violet. The former couple wed in June 2005 in Turks and Caicos but announced their separation a decade later, finalizing their divorce in 2018.
Since then, Garner has been in an on-and-off relationship with John Miller, while Affleck made headlines in 2021 for rekindling his romance with ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez. Although the two never married during their initial engagement from 2002 to 2004, they became engaged again in April 2022 and celebrated a Las Vegas wedding three months later, followed by a second ceremony in Georgia that August.
In May, speculation arose regarding Lopez, 55, and Affleck’s potential breakup, which the singer confirmed by filing for divorce in August. Despite this, Lopez appears to have maintained a close relationship with Affleck and Garner’s children, as evidenced by a photograph in July where she and Violet were seen embracing in the Hamptons.
In September, Lopez brought her 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, to a brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Affleck, Seraphina, and Samuel. At that time, a source informed People that the ex-couple was still progressing through their breakup.
While Affleck has remained silent regarding the split, he praised his “spectacular” ex to Entertainment Tonight earlier this month while promoting Unstoppable. When Lopez was later questioned about his compliment on the red carpet, she skillfully avoided the topic.
