Jennifer Garner is marking a big moment in her daughter Violet Affleck's life. She shared a series of photos and videos on Instagram on Monday, May 20. In the pictures and video, Garner is shown crying at various locations, like the graduation ceremony and on an airplane.

Fans and friends were quick to offer kind words in the comment section of the emotional post by the star of 13 Going on 30. Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond wrote, “It’s a deep, searing pain/joy/grief/pride/mourning!!! Congratulations!”

Another follower commented, “Awww… Mama, I’ve been there. I know it’s so so hard but you’ll cherish seeing your baby fly! Sending a big hug your way!”

Garner has three children with her ex-husband Ben Affleck: Violet, who is 18, Fin, who is 15, and Samuel, who is 12.

It is not known if Affleck, who is 51 years old, was present at his oldest child's event due to his relationship "problems" with his wife Jennifer Lopez. Lopez had her Netflix sci-fi movie, Atlas, premiere in Los Angeles on Monday night.

A source revealed to Us earlier this month that Jen and Ben started experiencing problems a few months ago. Jen's work commitments increased as she prepared for her tour, causing a strain on their relationship. Jen is very focused on her work, while Ben is not always on the same page.

Despite another insider disclosing that the couple is currently living separately and Ben moved out of their shared home several weeks ago, they have been spotted together twice in the last week. This comes after reports that they had not been seen together in 47 days.

In Touch got pictures of the couple in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 16. Affleck was driving a black SUV with a serious expression, while Lopez waited for him to open the passenger door.

They were seen together again in Brentwood, California, on Sunday, May 19, smiling for the cameras.

Lopez and Affleck have not publicly addressed the apparent ups and downs in their relationship. However, Affleck was seen without his wedding ring on Friday, May 17, but was later spotted wearing the band the next day.

The romance between these A-listers has been quite the story. Affleck and the Hustlers star first started dating after meeting on their movie Gigli in 2002. They got engaged in November of that year, but unfortunately, they called off their wedding in September 2003 due to too much media attention. Eventually, they officially split in January 2004.

The couple reunited nearly 20 years after they first met. In spring 2021, they decided to get engaged again and by April 2022, they were ready to tie the knot. Just after midnight in July of the same year, they had their wedding at The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas.

According to an insider, both of them found it to be a fun and casual way to celebrate their love and commitment to each other.
