Jennifer Garner’s Monday Morning Walk
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck take their 2-year-old daughter Violet for a Monday morning walk on the Upper West Side of New York City.
Last week, Ben donated three of his family’s second-hand coats to the Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Drive on Good Morning America–each one belonging to him, his wife and daughter.
“I did some work in Boston on foodbanks and homeless shelters,” Ben said. “I know how important it is to get a coat on your back and kids can grow out of their clothes so quickly.”
Yesterday, the Boston Society of Film Critics named Affleck the best new director for Gone Baby Gone, his Boston-set adaptation of the novel by local author Dennis Lehane (Mystic River).

finally together.thanks JJ.I love this couple but jps are something else.
Violet is so cute.more power to ben and jen and their little one. :)
Who is the Drag Queen?
Is it me or Jennifer Garner looks pregnant??? :roll:
BTW-Violet is too cute for words.
To be honest, I don’t think Ben Affleck cares much about his family. He’s rarely around them (maybe movies I guess..) and you can see from these pics, in his body language that fact.
Awwwww Violet is soooo cute, I love this baby!!!
The Affleck spent all the weekend togheter… they went buy christmas trees, after to the museum and now walk on the street… like a normal and happy family!
violet is the cutest!!!
love Jen and Ben together :)
Violet is so cute!!!
Those people are Ben’s old druggie friends from Cambridge
Yeah, they aren’t the most loving couple toward each other.
Don’t get me wrong, the definitely seem to get a long, but there’s not much fire between them.
I look at Kate Beckinsale and her husband and they got a lot of fire. I love their family, but the Afflecks, not so much.
Violet is so tall! The Afflecks are my favorite family
ohhh, so lovely family!, i love jenn!
kiss
Jen was in Rachel Ray today… so pretty and happy… some pictures:

Is nice to see the two together… That said I think Jen has got the next Dementor spot in Harry Potter nailed.
Ben is coming to Slovenia (Europe) today (well, tomorrow I guess, on Tuesday).. I hope the girls come too! They’re so cute!
Ben was in backstage… (?????????????)

What the hell is Jennifer wearing?
Jennifer is such a caring mother
I truly feel Jen is so fake, I ont like and I dont know what Ben is doing with her, Violet, its very cute I do agree on that, but you can see in almost every pic of the three how Ben is somewhere else.
He doesnt look happy, and Jen well I cant tell she is just so fake
Violet’s cute but Jen’s thing over her head just doesn’t look right.
They look cute. Shouldn’t big strong Ben carry Violet in the cold?
This is just an adorable family all the way around
Jennifer looks so scary damn she’s like a walking skeleton look at her face on picture #3 ughhhhhhh nasty
jesus christ, somebody get that fcuking kid away from mumm-ra.
i think ben’s ashamed of his family… do you blame him?!
Fuglie gets fuglier and he’s not that into her lol.
Baby V is so big.Ben is not an affectionate person is he?.
eww eww eww! who is that man with a skirt with ben, he looks like a skeletor.
Jen’s face is more masculine than Ben
I saw these two out for breakfast a few days ago in the city. Violet wasn’t with them, but they were laughing together and I didn’t want to interupt. Ben seemed different than he does in interviews.. he seems much more extroverted in person.
this is one fugly woman, she only looks half descent when she is made up and even then she has very manly features.omg ben looks better than her, how sad is that.Violet looks good when they are hiding her little dumbo ears.
She looks like a “Macho”.
You better believe Ben was in studio with her. She has a movie to promote and the happy family image is what’s keeping her star on the map.
I like them and all, but with that little outfit, Jen kind of looks like the Grim Reaper ROFL.
Wow-to each his own. I love JGarner-I feel she is very real. She’s made it obvious she’s not as confident as some women with reference to the beauty dept. she’s no diva. It’s ashame that JLo’s relationship with Ben kinda overshawdow’s Jen Garner-It’s like ppl think she’s a downgrade but they are just 2 really different women. Violet is the perfect mix of two parents. By the way, ben is very intelligent (everyone from Boston is, including myself) Haaaaaahaaaaa-Hey Jared, it really hurt my feelings that you didn’t email me back. I’m thinking seriously about having an all out aniston on you!
Its probably just me but Ben comes across as unhappy a lot and I’m probably being presumptious in saying this cause i have nothing to back it up, but could he be unhappy with finally settling down with Jennifer. She just seems like the complete opposite of JLo and so it probably seemed like a good thing at the time to have something less over top, and more under the radar which is exactly what he has with Jennifer, but I can’t help feeling that he might feel now anyways that he rushed into it.
I’m probably all wrong, but any thoughts anyone
That is the cutest i’ve seen their little gurl look.
BY the way, I posted answers to some of ur weird questions about wentworthmiller on the most recent wentworth miller post where he his trying to speak french…which was funny I must admit =)
He doesn’t seem as engaged and alive as he used to seem to me either. Who knows why. He was a lot sexier back then with his spark and charm.
They are an odd couple to me too. I don’t understand why they don’t interact with each other more. I get the paps are there but they are there for other celebs too. No one gets it more, or has gotten it mor then the Jolie Pitts for example and they still show each other love.
@ #36

You’re so right. He doesn’t seem as engaged in life or as enthusiastic. I saw him recently on Regis and Kelly, and the man could not be more disenchanted. It when talking about family life. But when he started talking about the charity work he is involved in for the troops, he got all excited or at least u could tell he wanted to talk about that more than about his family.
So to me that says a lot, but I could dead wrong…=(
As u can see I can’t type for anything, but you know what I mean….lol
does anyone know where violet’s coat is from? so cute.. i have a 14 month old and she has got to get a coat like that!
Violet’s so cute. But the black theme is so drab. They should liven’ up Violet’s wardrobe with some colors. And what’s up with Jen’s grim reaper hat??
Jules, Ben does not look like a happy camper to me.
Yeah, we are all speculating.
I’m an Affleck fan actually and the thing I hate about these boards is when you point it out the Garner fans come out trying to attack you like you’ve broken the law.
Who knows why Affleck has seemed to lost his spark, but IMO he doesn’t seem very happy.
I noticed it most when he was promoting his movie Gone Baby Gone.
Oh, Violet is adorable in the puffy coat with fur. Too cute.
It could be that Ben doesn’t like the paps.
Ben looks happy in a photo I saw at another site. Ben is holding Violet in the photo and is smiling at Jen. When he noticed the paps he handed Violet over to Jen and stayed behind her. It looked like an attempt to not give the paps the perfect shot of them together.
Why judge Ben on photos that he knows are going to hit the Internet and there is nothing he can do about it. He doesn’t have smile and wave at the paps. Ben chooses to glare at them.
Ben doesn’t talk about his family much. I would be tight lip too after being so over exposed. He has learned his lesson.
Ben and Jen are currently getting a lot of recognition for their recent work. He for Gone Baby Gone, which is a critical success, maybe not a box office success, but Ben definitely has a great career as a director ahead of him. Jen is doing great on Broadway and she is also getting rave reviews for her performance in Juno, which is going to be HUGE btw. So these are the things that are important to Jen and Ben, that their careers are flourishing and that they are taken seriously in this business and not just seen as a “celebrity couple” with no credibility or acting chops to back up their celebrity status.
Great things are happening to their careers right now. Ben is slowly getting some credibility back that he lost because people paid more attention to his personal life than the movies he made, granted many of his movies did suck. The “tension” or “disengaged” feeling that you all think you are seeing from these pictures is exactly what they want you to see, it’s by design, trust me these two know what they are doing, and works for them.
Even if they were smiling and holding hands it wouldn’t change their profile and make them more popular than they are now. They both have low media appeal because their work- as u put it in the past, was not great nor a success. I do know of the great reviews that Ben is geating for Gone Baby Gone, but how does looking like the two of you like each other going to hurt that. If anything, whatever effect its suppose to have is only doing the opposite. People seeing this will speculate as to whether they are a happy couple, which would not be the case if they just acted normal around each other, which u implicate they would be seen as a happy couple.
Granted his lack of enthusiam discussing his family could be because the negatives he experienced the last time he was public. But you see Jlo happy with Marc in pics whether paps are around or not. Is it killing their relationship, I don’t think so.
But whatever to each his own. I hope he’s happy he does have a daughter with the woman. LOL
lula29
ahhhh, You are an Affleck fan, now I get it. You are an obsessed Affleck fan at that. You take the time to go on every board and comment on every picture of this family and dissect it and analyze so you can convince yourself that there must be something wrong. Oh and what makes you think that it’s the Garner fans that are jumping all over you, did you ever think that maybe just maybe some Affleck fans might actually like this family and are not all against Jennifer Garner like you are. You are truly pathetic, I see your name so many times on boards getting your frustration out, I feel sorry for you really. Do you even have a job? Or do you spend all your day obsessing about Ben and the day that you two can finally be together. Get a ******* life you ****!!!!
#47
Calm down.
You’re pathetic…yes yes…Mr. A#sfleck is suffering and you can see it. Karma is a b#tch. He is slowly getting back his career but to what expense…not being with his true love…yeah I said it!!!!!he married bland and is lifeless and has not a sparkle in his eyes….he begged his true love to go back to him…but she told him “you waited too long”. lol. And no matter what JG’s fans think he will never ever love her the way he let his true love slip through his fingers!!!!!
Ewww….that hood and no makeup has got to go…she looks like Satan in Mel Gibsons’ The Passion of Christ.
I agree with the earlier poster, I don’t think Ben care for his family either. He is never with them. Samething for Chris Martin and Gwynethe Paltrow. I think these couples have seperated and hiding it.
HAHAHAHA……@ #49
Mina!!! I love that, I didnt want to seem mean but thats wut i thought tooooo =)
sigh..it just makes you wonder thats all
jen is mirroring the ‘grim’keeper’ she is so barf looking with those horse teeth.
aww…they’re such a cute family. they all look great although i think the photos are misleading us. people thinks ben doesn’t care about vi and jen but thats not true…you can’t judge something by just a photo. oh, and the insults has got to stop! jen’s a caring and pretty mother, leave her alone.
Poor Ben look at the way he’s looking at that guy’s cigarette, you just know he’d love a puff for old times sake. If only he could look at his wife with as much enthusiasm.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SOOOOO ANGRY HERE… BECAUSE BEN AND JEN ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOGHETER, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH… THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOGHETER AND TOGHETER…
I THINK THEY’RE NOT WILLING TO GIVE THE PAPS WHAT THEY WANT…
BUT IT’S A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!!
What’s wrong with some people in this thread?I’m not even Ben A or Jennifer G’s fan.I’m Jolie-Pitt’s fan.but the way you are happy when you are talking about them being not happy or about their body language scares me.what’s up with that?really?
first you can’t judge from picture which just shows less than 5 minutes of their life.
second even If they are not happy,it is not your business and why you are happy that they may break up.you are talking about two people with one adorable kid.you better wish them luck If you want people does the same for you too.I just wish HW’s families best.
I don’t know about their relationship and I never judge from pics.so for me they have kid and many more things in common than most of couples in hw without kids so for sure they will fight for their togetherness more than other couples without kids.wish them luck.life has up and down and they are normal couple they can argue and fight,they can have a bad days and good days,so just try to think about them like normal people not just some super human being.
sorry for length.but I hope hater of this family and my beloved family jps will find happiness for themselves too.because people who are enough happy,will become happy of other’s happiness.
sara i question if your’e a jp fan.
Baby Violet is soooo adorable!!!
I love Jen!!!
Jennifer doesn’t look happy and can you blame her. They can’t go anywhere without being followed by paparazzi. I’ll take my normal life and considerable less wealth anyday than money, fame and what goes along with it - namely the inability to live a normal life in public.
How dumb are you people? Do you normally slather on the makeup to take your kid for a walk? Jen is gorgeous when she needs to be. Also, the reason they look so glum and unhappy is because it’s common knowledge they hate the paps following and photographing them when they are out with Violet. They have both indicated this in print and in person. Become more informed and maybe your comments won’t look so stupid.
Marilyn, some of us aren’t too dumb to notice that when Garner and Violet are by themselves, she’s all smiles while looking directly at the camera. That’s what I call inviting the paps to take photos where, on the other hand, when Ben is with them, her smiles suddenly turn to scowls. Personally, I see her putting on an act when with Ben because he is seriously anti-paps…and IMO, it is a bone of contention between the two of them…especially if he’s seen the hundreds pf photos on the net of her and Violet where it appears she’s actually posing for the paps.
I think Jen doesn’t matter with the paps, but Ben doesn’t like paps…, so when she’s with ben, they want to keep their privacy.
But I don’t think their marriege is in trouble, they have a strong marriege… a real marriege, not a hollywood marriege!
You’re funny mina. You must be a really good friend of Ben’s that he confides in and stuff huh? Wow you are so cool! In reality, you’re obviously a Jlo fan that can’t get over the fact that he dumped her vain, shallow ass.
Love this family. I don’t think there is trouble in the marraige, but I only see what the rest of us do. I hope they are happy and continue to be.
BTW, I love Jen, but what the hell is she wearing? It just seems like a very odd choice for her (the weird zippy skirt??) Violet is just too cute in her little puffy coat and hat.
I can’t help it…Violet melts my heart!! She is such a cutie :-)
No matter what you think of her parents, you gotta admit she’s adorable.
Jen was on today show… ADORABLE! BEAUTIFUL..
I LOVE HER HAIR!

#60 yeah right, Jennifer doesn’t like the paps…you’re dreaming. She never had so much attention in her career since she married Ben…attention by association. She love love loves it…how could she continue to subject her daughter to the paps on a daily basis…that is not a sign of a good mom to me. All the “good” celebrities protect their children from the paparazzi, they don’t allow their children to be photograph on a daily basis…the byotch loves the attention!!!!!!!!poor Violet.
MINA:
You’re soooo crazy, how could you tell that jen is not a good mother???
She just want to give to her daughter a normal life… this is a prove of love!!! AND VIOLET LOOKS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH HAPPY WITH HER LIFE AND HER PARENTS!!!
Sorry, but you write like an idiot!!!
BEN HATES PAPAS… LOOK THIS PICTURES: (from today):

wow, scary pic. she reminds me of satan in mel gibson’s movie some yrs back.

Yeah, they aren’t the most loving couple toward each other.
Don’t get me wrong, the definitely seem to get a long, but there’s not much fire between them.
******************************
Do you live with them every minute of the day and night? If not how the hell do you know all this. You don’t know what they do when the cameras are not on them.
I dunno who I love more, little Suri or sweet Violet! :)
