“I was a wreck the whole month leading up to it,” Garner admitted. “Every awards ceremony, every final, everything, I just cried and cried at everything. Then, the day of [graduation] was so happy that there was nothing to be other than just so proud and happy,” she added.
After Violet’s graduation, Garner, Affleck, and Lopez were all seen together celebrating the eldest Affleck sibling. Sadly, much of the attention was on Ben and JLo’s relationship status. Of course, Garner has stayed quiet on the situation. However, she has reportedly been very supportive of her ex-husband as he navigates his marriage troubles, per OK! Magazine.
“Jen can’t stand by and do nothing. That’s not in her nature,” an insider previously told the outlet. “She has dropped everything to make sure Ben doesn’t spiral out of control again. At the end of the day, Ben is still the father of their children, and she will help him however she can.”
Currently, JLo is in Italy on a solo vacation. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been spotted together with their kids as they enjoy a summer with their family.
