Violet Affleck: Open Sesame!
Violet Affleck pushes open the door while getting picked up from school by her dad, Ben Affleck on Friday in Santa Monica, Calif.
The 3-year-old was also a bit shy as she covered her eyes at one point.
After the birth of Jen and Ben’s second daughter on Tuesday, Violet must be getting ready to be a big sister at home!
Former Alias co-star and family friend Victor Garber recently reported, “I talked to her and she’s doing great! I just marvel at how they’re being brought up. What a wonderful mother Jennifer is, and what a joy it is to be around that family.”

Cute kid i know she can’t wait to see her baby sister.
Violet is soooo cute! I just LoVe this kid! Can’t wait to hear what they named her little sister!!!! They seem to like older names because both Violet and Anne sound like older names.

wow such a lovely kid.
Does anyone know if Jen and the new baby are home yet? Hopefully Violet got to visit her mom and new little sister at the hospital. I wonder how much Violet understands at her age?
That child isn’t being shy. She is blocking the flash bulbs going off in her eyes.
Darn, I thought there was news on her little sisters name. Its like the whole world is already expecting a crazy hollywood name. Watch the baby have this totally normal name after all the wait and wondering. They’re killing me here with all the suspense!
Only 3 years old and already acting like a diva, she looks like a spoilt little brat.
CONGRATS !!!!
Kate, you’re an idiot.
Why is it that Victor Garber has to go shooting his mouth off about them? Oh wait, because it’s the only way he can get his name mentioned. Nice.
But close the dustbin, please.
IT SMELLS, folks!!
such a cutie!! i think shes a mini me of jen!
How sweet that Victor is so proud of them. He must be a great surrogate grandpa!!
The longer they keep the name of the baby secret the more money they will get when they do a deal with People/OK/US Weekly for the name and pictures.
The baby’s name is Victoria, after Victor Garber the godfather
I feel sorry for Jennifer Garner, since Alias was canceled because of abysmal ratings, all she’s been able to get is supporting roles in movies that have tanked at the box office, Forbes named her the most overpaid movie star who never makes a profit for the stuidos. Her acting career has never really taken off, she reminds me of Denise Richards pimping her children, because that is the only way she can stay famous.

She named the baby after her gay actor friend?? What an insult that would be to her real father.
Wow, this poor kid….
Can u imagine your Mom has a new baby and the hoard of Paps show up?
Not cool.
kate you’re so stupid!
she’s not a diva, she’s 3 you stupid b*tch, she can’t see because of the pictures idiot.
Cutie pies, both of them!
Aww so nice to see sweet Violet and her papa. Can’t wait to see mom and hear the name of her little sister. Love this beautiful family.
Violet is spoilt? If anything, along with her sister, they’ll be the only adjusted and normal celeb children in Hollywood
Casey and Matt’s children will be the normal and adjusted non hollywood children while Violet and Gonaria will grow up to be new Paris and Nicky of Hollywood.
Spoilt? Go back to school and learn to spell before you make such crass remarks. Spoiled is the correct spelling.
I think I’ve had enough of papz pictures of this family. Leave them alone.
gosh Violet is soooooooo cuteeeeee(so is her dad!:p)
Majority rules - Kate your an idiot
Adore this family, they are not pimping their child, they are not asking the paps to follow them around in fact would love it if they didn’t. Because they are both popular and together, the public wants to see them, so all these websites clamor to buy the pics from the paps. The paps know that so hound them even more than other celebs. They are the paps meal ticket, but did not ask to be. Can’t wait to see the new babe and hear her name……….see its people like me that keep them in the paps sights……….but I can’t help myself……….love them together, since Daredevil
Kate is not the only one. Apparently, the cow jumped (and relieved her bowels) over the Moon.
“Spoilt” is the correct term in other English-speaking countries (you know, like the UK, Australia), ignoramous. I bet you are Violet’s Auntie; you certainly share her mommy’s stupidity.
And the delay in releasing baby #2’s name is meant to “kill” you; they are drawing it out for the maximum amount of publicity.
And see how normally Violet behaves in front of the paps without her mommy there to try to make it a photo op (you know, like with a kiss or something equally silly)? Now maybe you understand Suri’s entirely normal reaction to the paps a little better?
It was leaked the other day from sources that the name is Chase Milan Garner Afleck!
yes, it’s been heard that the new baby is Chase Milan! cute name!
Violets Auntie @ 01/10/2009 at 5:37 am Spoilt? Go back to school and learn to spell before you make such crass remarks. Spoiled is the correct spelling.
————————–
Actually, both forms are correct. According to Oxford’s:
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=76750&dict=CALD
“spoil (CHILD)
verb [T] spoiled or spoilt, spoiled or spoilt
DISAPPROVING
to allow a child to behave exactly as it wants to, usually so that it becomes selfish and lacking in care and respect for other people:
Mr Harvey, unable for once to do exactly as he wanted, sulked just like a spoilt child”.
That said, I don’t see how Violet fits the description. She doesn’t look like a spoilt child at all.
No way would they name a baby Chase Milan after naming her sister Violet Anne. Anyone who believes that is an idiot.
Lovely little girl, lovely family, now leave them be to enjoy this new time in their lives. Darling Violet doesnt papz at school. I hear LA is going to pass a law against it soon.
* I meant to say doesn’t NEED papz at school
I’m guessing that they may give the baby another flower name like Rose or Daisy, etc.
Spoiled brat? Why becasue she closes her eyes/shields her eyes?
You can look at the expression on Ben’s face and see that they are both being effected by the flash. Ever seen a video of the paps taking a photo of a celeb? There are so many flashes going off that they can barely see. They are videos of Ben and Jen, with Ben saying that he can’t see because of the flash.
Why should they release the name? So that people who call Violet names can make fun of the new baby? When Casey and his wife had their new baby, the name wasn’t known for 6-8 months.
Anyone who thinks that Ben and Jen will release photos to People/ok/ etc. are crazy. Just not going to happen. Not everyone has to do that. Matt Damon didn’t do pictures of his kid for mags, nor Hally Berry, and a ton more. Does’t mean that they coulnd’t have had a deal if they wan’t, but they just choose to try and keep that private.
Sure I would like to know the name, but is it information I HAVE to have? NO. Besides the way everyone trashes a 3 year old child, if I were a celeb. parent, I would release the name either.
It is one thing to say things about a celeb. but about a child, not cool. Same as there were pics of Violet this week at a park with her Nanny, w/o either Ben or Jen. The paps should not be taking pics of a minor child w/o their parents. Again, not cool………..borders on dangerous. Thanks to JJ for not posting them.
I agree with #31/Shawna. Chase Milan is sooooo not Jennifer. lol I would be impressed though if she did name her daughter that. I expect an ultra-tranditional name from Jennifer. Anyway, the birth certificate will get filed; it’s public record so it doesn’t matter if the Afflecks “release” the name. And we’ll hear from Ben how great his family is since he has a movie opening early next month.
I’m confused as to why Victor Garber is always gushing to the press about Jennifer. Does he approach them or does the media call him up? I loved him on Alias but all his gushing is getting annoying. He acts like Jennifer invented spending time with your kids.

AND I really can’t see “Chase” for a girl.
That is one beautiful kid! So happy that ben came to his senses and married a beautiful european Jennifer.
Violet is so CUTE!
Congratulation Ben Jen & Violet with your new addition. Wonderful family…
So cute! I would cover my eyes, too, if all those flashes were going off…would I be a spoilt or spoiled or whatever brat? There are so many idiots in the world…why are they all here? This is a great family! I think it is so sweet that Victor Garber is involved in their lives, and I think Chase is a pretty, albeit unexpected, choice…if that’s what it is.

I love this couple they are like Jolie & Pitt! Gardner & Affleck are the second Hollywood Royals. Can’t wait to see the beautiful little sister for Violet. I know Violet is thrilled, she is the happiest little girl I have ever seen, always smiling.
Where did everyone get the name “Chase”? Who are these “sources”. I haven’t seen anything about the name at all. They probably want to go Casey’s route and not release it at all. It really isnt anybody’s business, I agree.
By the way #37 Someone, Victor Garber is probably called up by magazines to get quotes since he is very close to the family and he isnt afraid of talking to the press (although maybe too much–remember he let everybody know she was pregnant!)
Who came up with Chase Milan.. for her name … not the Afflecks!!
That is for sure!!! When you see Victor Garber all the publicity goes
back to Alias and Jen..not now!! Not until they announce the name of their daughter … will people now for sure so stop calling the DAUGHTER CHASE MILAN… STUPID NAME WHO EVER CAME UP WITH IT NOT BEN OR JEN THAT IS FOR SURE..
JJ did post the pics of Violet at the park with the nanny:
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/01/07/violet-affleck-la-park/
I agree with you Ben/Jen fan …everything you wrote is true. And I wish people would stop making fun of Jennifer and Ben just because they carry Violet. If there were paps, who are strangers to Violet, taking pics of my kid all the time, I would want to protect her, too. I’ve seen videos of papparazzi and they scare me! Can you imagine what it does to a little 3 year old?
I hope this lovely family stays together forever, they are so well-suited to one another. Ben looks like a big Poppa Bear with his cub.
she’s as cute as suri =]
hope she likes her new sister
#47
You are right. I missed that one.
You shouldn’t post pictures of a minor child of celeb parents, when the parents are not present. IMHO.
I, too, would be very surprised if the name is Chase Milan. Unless by chance they are family names of great grandparents or something like that. That name just doesn’t seem to fit the them.
Wouldn’t it be terrible if Ben is going back to Jlo?
Does it surprise anyone else that Affleck appears to be a good father?
To bonus boy #53 it doesn’t surprise me at all, Jen once said in an interview she knew Ben would be a fantastic father and that is why she chose him to be her baby daddy in the first place.
Congrats to this beautiful familia!!! Look forward to seeing them all together out and about soon. Benny is such a delight to see taking care of Violet while Jen is with the new bombina.
Love Benny boy to the moon and back!!! Best wishes always.
ciao!
It looks like Ben’s mother is here to help out the family, its the mil turn to help out after Jen’s mother had to help with Violet. Jen was funny on Leno saying how her mother didn’t want to come but Ben got on the phone and told her she had to.
At least A-hole didn’t flip the bird this time. I just love the picture where he flips the bird to the paps while holding his child…yep heck of a dad. Yep he is so down to earth that he left his wife preggers and went to the congo a war torn country to make a six minute short movie…yeah it’s all about the career and image. He tells his wife to go out there and pimp his daughter so people think she is the perfect mom, Victor Garbar also is pitching the “good mom” bulls#it. I bet the girl is a spoil brat after all who the heck carries their daughter 24/ 7 as if she were a little trophy or a little monkey. The nanny lets her walk unlike the parents, ..it figures the nanny is latina, latinas don’t baby their children they give them autonomy. Usually when someone brags about how great a mom is it’s usually the opposite. It’s all about image with this couple…they are full of s#it@@@holes
I was told the name was Caroline Jennifer. Caroline after Ben’s grandmother. Violet was Jennifer’s paternal grandmother’s name. Anne is Jennifer’s middle name.
Caroline? Ick. Oh, well. She’s sure to be a cutie pie. I just don’t know why they won’t officially release it. There is speculation out there that they thought they were having a boy. If you have a boy’s name picked but no girl’s name, that would explain the delay.
Caroline Jennifer sounds a little more like it. Ben said in an interview that they were choosing a traditional name. Both of them hate the tryndee names. So, I believe that Caroline could be it.
I hope Jennifer’s o.k. Victor Garber said this birth was easier. If so, why is she still in the hospital unless she had a c-section. Gosh, I hope everything is o.k.
yes, as in the other thread, the biggest leak is that it’s Chase Milan Garner Affleck! sources were leaked from the hospital!
She’s not in hospital, she’s at home. You haven’t seen pictures because Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck know how to avoid the paparazzi when they want to. When Jennifer went for her check ups the paparazzi were always taking pictures because they were tipped off by her manager but when Jennifer wanted privacy to have the baby and leave the hospital she managed to do so without the paparazzi taking pictures.
They knew they were having a girl and they had a name already picked out, they are just playing the media games all the celebrities play trying to get more attention by keeping it secret.
Ben wanted a boy! like most of their fans he’s happy the baby is healthy and everything but disappointed it was a girl not a boy.
Tulip lives with the Garner Affleck family, obviously.
How do you guys know that “ben is disappointed it wasn’t a boy”. Has he ever said that he would be disappointed in having a girl?
As far as Ben leaving Jen to go to the Congo. I am sure across this country there are men with pregnant wives that have to go to work, travel and sometimes out of the country.
My own father was out of the country fighting in a war when I was born, and he volunteered as they needed medical personell. Does that make him a “bad father”? No.
They knew the due date, and knew when Ben would be gone and when he would be back. Just because he went doesn’t make him a bad father or husband.
As far as tipping the paps off. Sure, because that is what ever pregnant mother in the last few weeks of pregnancy wants as she is heading into the doctors office for a check up, with no makeup on, and wet hair. Yes, please paps come take my picture. RIGHT!
Now, if she was dressed to the nines like Victoria Beckham, then you would have a case with the whole “call the paps” thing. Just not buying it.
who cares if she’s acting like a diva. all these kids with super famous parents were all now acting the same so why bother thinking who’s who and who’s the most humble????
Reading the above comments, I think a whole lot of you are crazy. Nobody knows the name yet, they havent released it, all this “I heard” stuff is a bunch of bunk

True enough - have just this minute heard the new baby will be called “Magenta Rose”. How flowery is that !!! Apparently the name “Chase Milan” was deliberately leaked, to avoid their final choice name being released so early.
Tulip # 63 how do you come up with that idiotic notion that Jen and Ben are playing game to get more media attention? If anything, this couple has never given the impression that they court or want media attention. In fact, the complete opposite would seem to apply to them. I think you paint all celebs with the same brush. This couple does not fit that mold. You are way out in left field at Fenway Park and it’s still football season. ROTFLMAO.
It’s easy to tell that Jen and Ben are playing the media game. How did Jen manage to avoid the paps when she went in to give birth (and left, since I doubt she’s still in hospital at this point)? She was even smiling at the paps when they got her going to Cedars Sinai shortly before giving birth, these b*tches never met a camera they didn’t like, and if they have to pimp their daughters out for more attention (which they do), then they will (and have).
Anyone who can’t see it is just an idiot at this point.
Oh, and if they hated all this paparazzi attention so much, then why would Jen’s publicist send a press release to Just Jared announcing the birth??? That statement was sent to select media outlets (TMZ wasn’t on the list) for a reason. All JJ does is put up paparazzi pics, so if Jen and Ben hate it so much, why would they give JJ one of the press releases?
They LOVE the pap attention, its the only thing keeping their careers alive at this point.

Read the comments by *** what they have written is the truth. You can still be their adoring fan, but don’t be so naive to think they have nothing to do with the paparazzi that follow them around or that they don’t play the media games all celebrities do.
