Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are hogging the limelight for all things personal. The ex-couple finalized their divorce in 2018, and since then, they have been co-parenting their kids. Ben and Jennifer share 20-year-old Violet, 17-year-old Seraphina, a.k.a. Fin, and 14-year-old Samuel. Now, 8 years after their split, Jennifer Garner recalled a memorable six-week trip to Paris along with her and her ex-husband Ben’s kids.
Jennifer Garner remembers trip with kids, while her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, was away in London
In a recent conversation with Ina Garten on her Happy Hour podcast, Jennifer Garner detailed an unforgettable vacation that she took with her and Ben’s children, 20-year-old Violet, 17-year-old Seraphina, a.k.a. Fin, and 14-year-old Samuel, before the couple called it quits in 2015. At the time, Jennifer was married to Ben Affleck, who was shooting a Batman-related movie in London.
Garner decided to take her three children, Violet, Fin and Samuel, out of school for six weeks to travel around Europe. Jennifer explained that she and her children traveled to different European cities, including Venice, during the six-week trip. Recalling the memorable six-week trip, Jennifer said:
“When my kids were really little, I went to Paris. Ben was shooting some Batman-ish movie in London, and we went for six weeks. I took them out of school. It was the last time I really took kids out of school, but it was wonderful. It was incredible. It was so fun.”
During the podcast, Jennifer remembered Ina Garten’s suggestion to explore Paris by taking a boat ride. Garner followed Garten’s suggestion and had a wonderful experience with her children. She then revealed that she has continued doing this whenever she visits Paris. She also remembered the photographs from that vacation, particularly the huge smiles on her children’s faces.
More about Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s relationship
The ex-pair first crossed paths on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2000. Garner had a small part in the film, while Ben was the lead actor of the movie. Back then, Jennifer was married to her Felicity costar, Scott Foley. Garner and Ben reunited on-screen in 2003’s Daredevil. Although they were both in relationships at the time- Garner was still married to Foley and Affleck was engaged to Jennifer Lopez- they became close friends.
The duo made their first public appearance as a couple when they attended Game 1 of the 2004 World Series together. They supported Affleck’s home team, the Boston Red Sox. They were spotted again at Game 2, hugging and stealing a kiss as the Red Sox played. Jennifer filed for divorce from Scott in April 2003, while Ben ended his engagement with Lopez in January 2004. After ending their respective relationships, Garner and Ben began dating. In April 2005, Ben proposed to Garner.
As per reports, after nine months of dating, Affleck and Garner got engaged while celebrating Garner’s 33rd birthday. They got married secretly in Turks and Caicos in June 2009. Back then, reps for both Affleck and Garner confirmed the nuptials and the news that Garner was pregnant.
However, the duo shocked their fans by sharing that they were getting a divorce days after their 10-year wedding anniversary in 2015. They filed for divorce on April 13, 2017, nearly two years after they initially announced their split in June 2015. They continued co-parenting their kids after their split. In an October 2026 interview with Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist, Ben Affleck praised his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, for being a ‘spectacular’ mother to his three children. He said:
“Their mom is spectacular, and always makes me feel like I’m coming up a little short. I think I’m doing about 75% as good as your mom. And they’re like, ‘Maybe 40%.’ I’m maxing out, B+.”
