Violet Affleck Loves Her Swing Set

Violet Affleck Loves Her Swing Set

Jennifer Garner helps daughter Violet, almost 2, swing into action at a Central Park playground in New York City on Friday morning.

Cute mommy-daughter moment!

Jen, 35, returned to work yesterday on her Broadway play Cyrano de Bergerac after the 19-day writers strike.

“I am so happy that it’s over,” Jennifer told Access Hollywood“It was devastating to miss doing the show we had just opened. The audience was having the best time and to just, ‘OK! Now we are not doing it for the next couple of weeks,’ was the strangest feeling. Especially over Thanksgiving, people would be waving their tickets in my face on the street and saying, ‘I came here to New York to see you do this play.’ I just was kind of like ‘I wish I could do it for you right here.’”

And the Affleck-Garners are already in Christmas mode!

“Yeah, we will do a tree. We are already busy making ornaments,” Jen laughed. “I am not good at it but you know, we have glue and glitter and construction paper. What else do you need?”

This kid is almost two and yet still Ms Affleck or Aflac keeps giving her a pacifier.

Better stop it or else her teeth are going to look funny.

# 8

That hat is so adorable and Violet is even more adorable!

# 9

So cute! Jennifer is wonderful in “Cyrano” on Broadway.

BTW, it’s the stagehands’ strike, not the writers’.

Violets Auntie @ 11/30/2007 at 3:13 pm

Oh, how adorable is that hat! And matching mittens. That child is going to be athletic growing up.

The pacifier is used in lieu of thumb sucking, which would be worse for the front teeth. Smart mom.

OK. Am I the only one who sees this blatant PR w.h.o.r.i.n.g. out they are doing with their daughter?

This woman is the best at PR.

i’m with you nisha

Jen, Take That Pacifier From T @ 11/30/2007 at 3:25 pm

It is so disgusting to see these celebs shove pacifiers in the mouths of children who are waayyyyy to old to have them.
It’s a disgrace to see a two year old with a pacifier in her mouth. Celebs are very lazy parents. What they are teaching their children is to always have something in your mouth. Which might lead to overeating, and/or drug use.

she is sooo cute!

about the zac post,
JARED, SERIOUSLY. I’M SO DISAPPOINTED. THIS SITE IS KINDA BECOMING A PEREZHILTON SITE. I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE JARED WHO MADE HUNDREDS OF PERSONS HAPPY WHEN SEEING A POST OF ZAC WORKING OUT OR PUMPING GAS?. I’M SERIOUS. AND I HOPE YOU READ THIS.
PEREZJARED.COM., THE NEXT BIG THING
SO SAD.
I LOVE THIS SITE, BUT IF THIS IS WHAT IT’LL BECOME, THEN GOODBYE.

Violets Auntie @ 11/30/2007 at 3:13 pm

Don’t be silly. Shoving a pacifier in the mouth of a toddler, is not a deterrent from thumb sucking. IT IS LAZINESS ON THE PART OF THE PARENT.

huh? if she takes her kid to the park, that’s pr? wtf? should she leave violet in the house 24/7?

she looks like the happiest kid,and Jen looks great!
PR OR NO PR i dont care and if you dont like them then just dont look,if i dont like a celeb i dont go and post a comment in their thread…

Bravo!

Sad to say but every photos i’ve looked at only has VIolet and Jen. What happened to the dad?

Pretty little girl, but shame on Mommy for taking her out to the park and playing with her. Doesn’t she know that because she’s a “star” she should hide her daughter inside in the dark, because the media is going to follow her. For shame.

As far as the pacifier, I hate to see children walking and playing with them stuffed in their face. But I have yet to see Violet with one other than when she’s in her stroller, which logic tells me she’s allowed to have it to relax and nap. Nothing wrong with that, in my book.

All of you criticizing her, I sure hope you don’t “take the edge off” occassionally with a glass of wine or a cigarette.

Ash shut the F**K up this isn’t a zac page.

She is such a cutie, no one should comment on what she lets her kids have or what she does!!

how many pictures are we gonna see of violet and jen.my god overkill and pr.pr.pr.almost worst than suri.kate&tom.

BECKY SMITH @ 11/30/2007 at 4:20 pm

IS THE MARRIAGE OVER BETWEEN BEN AND GARNER? WE HAVE NOT SEEN BEN WITH HER FOR A LONG TIME…

SINCE WHEN HAS VIOLET USED A PACIFIER ? AND WHERE IS THE BLACK JOGGING STROLLER ..WHY IS VIOLET WHO TURNS 2 ON SUNDAY IN HER OLD STROLLER?

THANKS JUST JARED FOR THE WONDERFUL PHOTOS..!!

Yes, I guess celebs that allow thier children out of the house to do ‘normal’ things like play in the park are nothing but pr who*res. I would think keeping your children cooped up and having to hide them would give them issues. Maybe that is why some of these celeb kids grow up and get into trouble. They finally get to be out of the house and go buckwild!

They are celebs, there will always be paps around, maybe if the kids get used to it, it will be less scary for them. Unfortunately, the paps are a fact of life for them. It’s a shame their innocent kids have to suffer.

I think Jen is a great mom, and Violet seems like a very happy child.

WHY DOES SHE STILL SUCK ON A PASSIE,
BUT THEN AGAIN IF SURI CAN HAVE A BOTTLE SHE CAN HAVE A PASSIE.

Oh yes, photo op again, how come no pictures in the last few weeks…because she didn’t want it. She hides when she wants and comes out when she wants. All the celebrities know how to not be seen by the paps and JG knows how to do it also…she wants publicity now so she comes out. She cannot act no matter how many times her fans say she can. She lies all the time…I don’t think people came from anywhere to see her…I just don’t think so!!!!!

Another thing, stupid bi#ch…yeah she’s making ornaments for her tree…yeah right…pull my leg byotch…hillybilly byotch!!!

rihana fan @ 11/30/2007 at 6:36 pm

fix that kids teeth there are dentists u no

rihana fan,
There are also English teachers who can teach you to spell and when to use which words, punctuation and capital letters.

Geesh, this is a two year old. You don’t fix two year olds teeth. I’m sure you are a stark-raving beauty and were at 2 years old too.

mariadel barrio

As for “now you see her and now you don’t”, it really goes to show you how shallow and ridiculous you are as a person. Maybe this was the first time she got to take Violet to the park because she’s been doing other things. Or maybe Violet has been ill. Or maybe they’ve been spending time indoors making Christmas ornaments out of glitter, glue and construction paper.

I hate nitpicking at everyone, but you guys are just too ridiculous for words. Give you a two second window into someone’s life and you think you know them, their intent, everything about them. Doesn’t say much for your own life if thats your assumption.

Oh lord, can’t a woman go outside without being accused of media whoring? It’s not as if she’s staring right at the cameras asking to take pictures like Parasite Hilton did the other day with her ‘meet the parents’ routine. She practically invited the paps to watch her. What do you all want Jen to do? Stay inside her house all day? She’s just giving her daughter a good social upbringing, like any other normal lady!

rihana fan @ 11/30/2007 at 7:22 pm

a dentist is needed badly,that childs mouth is messed up.

dianad1968 @ 11/30/2007 at 7:22 pm

nisha, i couldn’t have said it better. i used to really like jen garner, but recently it seems that she has bought into the hollywood pr mentality. how come for a celebrity of her stature, probably B-list, somehow everyday the paps find her and her child, granted she is cute. and she used to be very private pre violet, whatever happened. it seems she is vying for the MiniVan majority, with the likes of katie.

dianad1968 @ 11/30/2007 at 7:28 pm

Boy how come the jolie-pitt and their kids are not given the same understanding when they go to the park,or anywhere else for that matter. somehow with them it is w.h.o.r.i.n.g out, but with jen she is just being a good mom. you people are priceless.

well i think @ 11/30/2007 at 7:53 pm

jens horin g its obvious. and i am her fan.

poodle puddle @ 11/30/2007 at 8:26 pm

Enough with the friggin BABIES!!! We get it. They’re young and their parents are famous.
Let them enjoy their childhoods, because its all downhill from here.
Just wait until all these kids grow up. Rehab is gonna be crowded.

Sydney bristow @ 11/30/2007 at 8:32 pm

Violet is overexposed her mother needs to stop using her child to keep herself in the magazines.

Violet looks ridiculous in that hat.

Mimi @ 11/30/2007 at 2:59 pm

Hey, Violet is not 18 months old. She is 2 years old tomorrow!!

***************************
Do you need glasses? Nobody said she was 18 months old.

a realist @ 11/30/2007 at 8:50 pm

Violet is too old to have a pacifier in her mouth. It is training her for bad habits. A need to always have something in her mouth.

anonymous @ 11/30/2007 at 8:58 pm

Jennifer Garner should stop giving interviews saying she finds the paparazzi attention annoying but then walks the streets of New York happily smiling for them, it makes her look like a hypocrite, as do these pictures.

# 34 dianad1968: she is vying for the MiniVan majority, with the likes of katie.

Obviously you are quoting and parroting that Laineygossip witch> Cant you have an original idea?Lainey used to love Jen and Ben but when it was obvious Jen got props for being a great mom (and deserved too) she got jealous that her idols Gwennie and Angelina got the title taken from them therefore the hateration of jen garner. Guess you all are sheep that believe everything that idiot *** hag has to say.

think it's strange @ 11/30/2007 at 11:35 pm

But isn’t it interesting that now that the strike is over and her play is up and running, you see pics of her and her kid at the park?

She’s been missing for weeks, now all of a sudden she’s all smiles with Violet swinging in a swing.

The only reason she’s popular is because people think she’s a good mom so she uses that angle to her advantage, otherwise she’d be forgotten. Her publicist is fabulous.

Violets Auntie @ 12/01/2007 at 12:09 am

What a friggin’ bunch of judgemental know-it-alls on this site.

violet is so adorable and jen’s a good mother. i don’t get why people always accuse jen as using her daughter to get media attention…its just stupid and ridiculous. can’t a mother just spend a day with her child in the outdoors? also, ‘rihana fan’, did you fail english? if you’re a ‘rihna fan’, start by trying how to spell her name properly. its rihanna not rihna. leave the poor girl alone, she’s only 2 years old and already, she needs a dentist? those are baby teeth! they’re bound to come out one day.

hypocrites! @ 12/01/2007 at 12:20 am

Hypocrites!!!

It’s okay to pick on all the other Hollywood moms and act like they don’t take care of their kids, but not okay to call JG out on her obvious media whoring?

Where’s Ben? I guess he’s MIA because he doesn’t have a movie to promote, because you know when it’s movie time, he’s there playin’ good daddy.

dianad1968 @ 12/01/2007 at 12:42 am

nw, i dont have to parrot anybody. a blind man can see the machinations that jen goes through to present the impression that she is this “perfect mother”. she shouldn’t have to try so hard. like i said, i was a fan of hers until she started this constant parading of her daughter. and she IS doing for the MVM, the evidence is in her magazines interviews.
my gripe if you are going to critisize one set of parents for occasionally taking their children out, then the one who is constantly on displat should also bear the brunt of the critics.

Last time I saw a picture of her and Ben Affleck they really looked unhappy. I wonder if Ben is back to his old ways doing bars and whores.

The story about people waving their tickets in her face would be awkward. What is she supposed to say? It’s a strike.

Taking your kids to the park is HEALTHY. Sitting at home doing nothing is NOT.

Some of you are just RIDICULOUS.

she is playing the game,she aint innocent,she knows the public relation game and she plays it. can’t act anyways,,poe violet has her moms looks, and her beady eyes to boot.keep smiling jen, u only look half decent when showing your dimples.put the hair over those dum bo ears.

Buckeyegurl @ 12/01/2007 at 3:19 pm

Wow, some of you folks need help. Especially you mariadel barrio, you have a lot of pent up hostility…and rihanna fan, you do not fix a 2 yr olds teeth, THEY FALL OUT EINSTEIN!

I love the Afflecks, I think they are raising thier child right. Maybe the reason you always see Jen and Violet together is because she is actually raising her child!! Most hollywood parents shove the kids off on the nanny. I’m not saying Jen doesn’t have a nanny, I’m sure she does, but she has made it a priority to be the PRIMARY caregiver to her child. Oh the horrors, Jen takes Violet to the park to play like NORMAL children.

That said, I agree there is an element of PR to it from time to time. It is the world the celebs live in. Everyone plays the game, including Jen, Brangelina, TomKat, etc., even with the kids. I’m not taking away from them as parents, but look at all of us looking at the pics and pretending we know them and forming personal opinions of them (me included) based on thier personal lives. Hollywood is all about the money and attracting people to see your movies or watch your tv show. Relating to the general public at large is a great way to do it!

Buckeyegurl @ 12/01/2007 at 3:25 pm

And to those of you that said she is doing it because her play has started up again…do you remember a little holiday that just happened? I THINK it is called Thanksgiving??? Maybe they were taking the opportunity of having time off, to go spend time with family. Gee ya think???

I hope they divorce soon cuz Violet is still young. It’s coming. ITA those teeth on Violet are snags.

Violet’s TWO! Woohoo!

She’s so adorable.

Yeah, I’d prefer to have a child suck on a pacifier than the thumb. Not a big fan of the pacifier, but I know children (older than two) who suck on their thumbs and their teeth are messed up AND their thumbs are jacked up. AND I’ve seen adults who have remaining scars because they used to suck their thumb. So I’d definitely prefer the pacifier over the thumb sucking.

Adoring fan @ 12/02/2007 at 12:58 am

So adorable these two. When Ben is with them you ******** grumble about that. When he is not, still you complain. I am so glad these people go about their lives regardless as to what you say of think. Keep doing what you think is best for your own lousy situation. What a marvel idea. Oh yes, I prefer the pacifier to thumb sucking. Ask an expert, more importantly, give others the right to make their own decision.

her kid has buck teeth. next thing you know she’ll be an expert in raising children bc she takes the stupid ugly kid to the park. where is ben? gambling all the money away probably.

She is sooooooooo fake - she irritates me. she thinks she’s the **** bc she has an ugly kid. yuck

Buckeyegurl @ 12/03/2007 at 3:03 am

Don’t know what you look like on the outside #58, but you are certainly UGLY on the inside.

Adoring fan @ 12/03/2007 at 4:08 am

She is so cute. A living doll. I love her and Jen. I kinda like Ben also. Poor debbie (#58) if you really want to see ugly, go look in the mirror.

Considering that Violet only has the pacifier when she’s in the stroller, maybe she got upset about being bundled up so snuggly and needed her paci to calm down.
