Violet Affleck's Big Day

In a touching tribute to her daughter, Jennifer Garner commemorated Violet Affleck's graduation with an emotional Instagram post. Garner, 52, shared a montage of tearful moments from various settings, including the graduation ceremony and an airplane, on Monday, May 20. The post was captioned, "Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate."

The comment section was quickly filled with supportive messages from fans and friends alike. Garner, who shares Violet, 18, along with Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, has always been open about her family life.

The Mystery of Ben Affleck’s Attendance

However, it remains a mystery whether Ben Affleck, 51, was present at Violet’s graduation. This uncertainty is fueled by his ongoing marital issues with Jennifer Lopez, who was spotted at the Los Angeles premiere of her Netflix sci-fi thriller, Atlas, on the same day.

The Affleck-Lopez Saga

Affleck and Lopez’s relationship has been under scrutiny recently. According to Us Weekly, the couple has been facing relationship problems. “They started having issues a few months ago as Jen ramped up work commitments and prepared for her tour. Jen is very focused on work. They are on two completely different pages most of the time,” a source revealed.

Despite living apart for several weeks, the couple was seen together twice last week, dispelling some separation rumors. In Touch obtained photos of Affleck and Lopez in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 16, and again in Brentwood, California, on Sunday, May 19. Interestingly, Affleck was seen without his wedding ring on May 17, but was wearing it again the following day.

A Look Back at Affleck and Lopez’s History

The relationship between Affleck and Lopez has always been in the public eye. They first met on the set of Gigli in 2002, got engaged later that year, but called off their wedding in September 2003 due to excessive media attention, eventually parting ways in January 2004.

Almost two decades later, they rekindled their romance in spring 2021, got engaged again by April 2022, and tied the knot in a spontaneous ceremony at The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022. An insider told Us at the time, “They both thought it was a fun and casual way to tie the knot.”
