Ben Affleck Reveals Why He and Jennifer Garner Don't Pressure Their Kids About Their Futures

As Ben put it, "In some way, it was kind of a blessing to anonymity, to struggle, to where we started, which was just in the middle of nowhere."

While Samuel and Seraphina are still just focusing on school, Violet—who is currently studying at Yale University—has found her footing in activism. Most recently, she delivered a passionate speech at the United Nations about the importance of mask mandates and clean air initiatives after the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We are told by leaders across the board that we are the future," she said in front of members of the UN in September. "But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes."

"My hope for this event and my belief in this community pressed on the belief that we can and we must do that again," she explained. "We can recognize filtered air as a human right, as intuitively as we do filtered water."

And Ben and Jennifer—who were married from 2005 until 2018—couldn't be prouder of their eldest.

"She's a self-starter," The 13 Going On 30 actress shared on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2023. "I'm proud of her no matter what."
