Jennifer Garner Describes Co-Parenting With Ben Affleck as Swapping Mom-and-Dad Roles Across Two Homes

Her latest interviews pair rare detail on sharing parental duties with a frank stance on keeping future cosmetic choices open.

Overview

  • In Bustle’s One Nightstand interview released Feb. 24, Garner said raising their three children in separate households means, “I become mom and dad; he becomes dad and mom.”
  • She acknowledged “a little bit of loss” in two-home parenting but said there are gains too, adding it has taught her to let go and worry less about strict “bringing up.”
  • Garner and Affleck, who married in 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2018, continue to share parenting of Violet, Seraphina (Fin) and Samuel across Los Angeles–area homes.
  • On Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast published Feb. 26, Garner said her kids asked her to promise she’ll never get a facelift, and she declined to make that promise, calling it a future personal decision.
  • She said Botox made her forehead feel unnaturally frozen, prefers subtle dermatologist treatments, and emphasized that people who choose cosmetic procedures “look beautiful.”
