In a rare sighting, Jennifer Garner was seen in Los Angeles with her 9-year-old son, Samuel. He looked noticeably grown up with his long hair, dressed in a coordinated blue outfit with gray sneakers, as he held his mother’s hand while crossing the street. The heartwarming moment, captured on Wednesday, October 20, was shared by In Touch.
Jennifer Garner, 49, and Samuel were clearly enjoying their time together. This outing comes not long after Jennifer opened up about her parenting experiences in an interview from September. In that conversation, she reflected on homeschooling her children during the pandemic and her mixed emotions as they transitioned back to school. She expressed feeling “all the things”—from happiness to nervousness—and her gratitude for the opportunity to be so involved in her children’s lives.
Jennifer also shared how her family stays organized, especially when it’s time to head back to school. She mentioned their routine of packing everything the night before, with clothes laid out and backpacks prepped, including their computers. She’s even established a system where the kids’ phones are left in a charging station overnight to avoid distractions. They use multiple alarms to ensure everyone is up and ready, making sure they catch the bus on time.
Jennifer and her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, have worked hard to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship since their divorce in 2018. Their focus has always been on providing a stable and supportive environment for their three children—Seraphina, Violet, and Samuel. Although Ben has since rekindled a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, Garner has no issue with her children being introduced to J. Lo. As an insider shared, Jennifer understands the importance of transparency, particularly given their public profiles.
Garner’s deep love for her children is evident in moments like this. She treasures these rare outings as a chance to make meaningful memories with her growing son. Samuel is growing up quickly, but the special bond between mother and son is clear to see.
Jennifer continues to navigate parenthood with grace and dedication. Her commitment to nurturing her children, while also balancing co-parenting with Ben, speaks volumes about her love for her family and her ability to prioritize their well-being, no matter what.
