Violet Affleck: You Can Stand Under My Umbrella

Violet is so cute and pretty, the cutest celeb kid. Jen looks frustrated, but she also is a very beautiful woman. I really like Violet’s normal clothes. She is so cute, a doll faced little girl and she looks so much like her mum. Jen is trying to give the best life possible to her kids and at the same time be normal and down to earth and still have the ability to be in movies. She is doing fine so far. She is beautiful….

I just love this family.

I get that Ben and Jen are celebs. Why are they not allowed to leave the house with people complaining that they are asking for pictures to be taken.

Were they not suppose to allow Violet to go to school? Really? The paps followed them to Violet’s preschool and everyday after that staked out the place. How is that Ben and Jen’s fault? Do they have to live under a rock?

They have never taken Violet to a red carpet or offical event and asked that she be photographed. They aren’t even in LA right now, but in Boston. So they have tried to get out of the spot light. Most of the daily pictures of them are taken when Violet is walking to and from her school in Boston, now. Again, is Violet not allowed to go to school? Are they suppose to hire 3-4 bodyguards, a car service to walk several blocks from their rental home in Boston to the school? Not like that wouldn’t cause a commotion.

Jen isn’t pranching around on a beach in a bikini with a film crew following her (Kate Gosselin), she is walking down a public road with her child. How is that asking for your picture to be taken?

OH, and Ben rarely around, it’s because he is working. Plus he was around. Pics of the whole family trying for some private time at a local park this past Sunday.

Anne Hathaway has no children or famous spouse, so her photograph doesnt go for the big bucks Jen and Violet’s do. Their pictures sell that;s why they get followed, its the last thing either parent wants. Its ridiculous–she is in BOSTON not Hollywood, she obviously wasnt thinking a pap would be following her there. I’ve noticed it s just one pap agency, and hopefully for them its just one pap taking them, but they obviously are bought by Just Jared & Popsugar since they are on the website every day.

The pictures of them taking Violet to school everyday got ridiculous. I thought it was because preggo pictures of celebs go for a lot but then I realised it was Violet they were after (they took them even with the nanny). I think they should be banned from taking children of celebs pictures. In Europe if they have a pic of a celeb with their kid, the kid is blurred out. In Europe it is much more civilized. But they shouldnt have to move to France! Let’s change the laws here.

Violet is adorable with her umbrella.

Seem like a nice family. Trying to give kids a normal balance. Don’t understand why so much negative towards them for just taking a walk.

There are negative comments about them because of the JLo/Vartan hos that cant stand the fact that Jen and Ben have been happy for 5 years now and looks like no divorce despite their hoping and hoping and hoping for just that. THey are sickos who goggle Jen & Ben just to post about how “unhappy” they must be without their has been ex lovers. Sorry, so just give up on it Denise, Michelle and Amy (who are probably the same person)

Amazing that people would hang onto something for that long. Sure Ben was with JLo, Jennifer w/ Vartan. But, gosh it’s been years. It seems like they are happy with each other now and building a life.

Such hatred over things from years ago.

Ben seems happy and stable, making such better movie choices since he has been with Garner. Love that he is directing too. Gone Baby Gone was great.

People should be happy for them.

Then STOP posting pictures of kids in schools, Jared!

I don’t know why people feel sorry for them with the paps. Every star knows it comes with the territory and us in L.A. know it’s all part of the culture. The paps have high end lenses so can take shots from across the street which they do at the school. They have more money than 1000 altogether and they chose to marry another actor, especially one as famous as Ben Affleck who I like. Even Ben and Matt have said that they hate how marrying other celebs b/c of the attention. They get a lot of slack about it b/c they make a big deal out of it complaining and trying to be “normal”. I think they’re in the wrong field if they want to be “normal”. Actors marrying each other are bizarre in general - you are making out with others and come home. So abnormal.

@kelly:

#42 You made a point in the fact to where Matt refused to marry another celeb, and Ben went down the path of marrying celeb Jen. You do not see Matt and his family parading around town in photos nearly even as close as Ben’s family. Why? Does it have anything to do with the celeb/celeb marriage vs celeb/citizen marriage?? Looks like it to me. Media thrives off of the two POWERFUL people getting together and attempting to conquer all with careers, making hot films together with other hot peeps, and trying to live a normal life in this society.

Certain celebs that are much more FAMOUS, such as Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Warren Beaty and Annette Benning, Will Smith and Jada Smith, and the list goes on are not harassed or bothered nearly as much as JEN AND BEN. Why? Do you think it’s because they do not walk the RED CARPET together, keep their relationship to a hush hush level, never seem to enjoy each others company when in the public eye? I DO!!! The media is trying to rustle their feathers, due to such resistance of not giving them those perfect happy couple photos and trying to present a problem to the public of their relationship.

Lastly, Jen, Ben, and Violet are one of the most photographed FAMOUS families out there. Ben had made comment that his relationship with J Lo was ruined partly due to the media invasion and craziness surrounding them. Isn’t that happening again??

I think the media should just BACK OFF!! These two have children involved and that is VERY IMPORTANT for them to have a safe, healthy, and happy life from now into the future. Think about the children and how these photos are just an instant gratification for the media to make mucho $$$. Go back to the ACTORS for the photos that did something to be FAMOUS. Not the children!!!

All the Best to JEN AND BEN and the familia!!!

Umm… here’s something funny. How many pics have you seen of Meg Ryan or Gwyneth Paltrow taking their kids to school? Hmm?

And let’s be honest, they’re both bigger stars than Jennifer Garner will ever be.

Jennifer Garner CREATED this circus-like atmosphere with all her mommy and me photo ops before Violet started school. I think Ben has genuinely tried to shelter his kids, he knows how quickly all the publicity can turn on you, but Jen Garner has never seen a camera she didn’t like.

And if Jen is unhappy in her marriage, it’s her own fault. She’s the one who trapped Ben into marriage by getting knocked up.

@Elle:

Seriously, do you really think Jen trapped Ben into marriage? I do NOT!!! He went into this relationship with EYES WIDE OPEN. I’m sure, if you asked him, point blank, he would admit to all of the above and more. Leave that assumption out of the equation. Violet has been the PERFECT outcome of the production. It’s called LOVE!!!

Gotta agre with#33 and others. The girl is not bringing her kid out in mags for photo sessions, etc. She does no’t do any of that. There is not money shot either. It slways thesame ole same: running errands intherealworld likeanybodyelse does. The paps need to back off. As much as Ijust think that is one precious,normal,bubbly little girl, she and the other parents have rights.
