Growing up in the public eye can be tough, even for celebrities. Actress Jennifer Garner understands this all too well, which is why she has made it a top priority to keep her home life with her three children private.
Keeping Her Children Out of the Spotlight
Jennifer, known for her roles in movies like “13 Going On 30,” shares three kids – Violet, 13, Seraphina, 10, and Samuel, 10, with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Since their split in 2018, Jennifer has chosen to shield her children from the constant attention of the media.
While Jennifer does maintain an online presence to promote her work, she has made a conscious decision to not allow her children to join Instagram. In a recent interview on Katie Couric’s podcast, she expressed her concerns about the negative impact of social media on kids. Jennifer worries about the pressure and unhealthy comparison that comes with it.
A Different Path for Her Eldest Daughter
When it comes to her eldest daughter Violet, Jennifer wants to be a role model for choosing a different path. Although Violet occasionally expresses interest in getting an Instagram account, Jennifer encourages her to think critically about it. She wants Violet to wait until there is evidence that using Instagram actually makes teenage girls happier. Jennifer believes that the current landscape of social media does not have much positive to offer her daughter.
A Striking Resemblance
Both Jennifer and Ben occasionally share photos of their children on social media, and a recent picture of 17-year-old Violet caused quite a stir. Fans were amazed by how much Violet resembles her famous mother. Sporting an all-white ensemble and pigtails, she looked like Jennifer’s spitting image.
Fans couldn’t help but comment on the striking similarity between Violet and Jennifer. Some even mistook the picture for a potentially awkward moment between Jennifer, Ben’s wife, and his ex-wife. The strong resemblance between Jennifer and Violet shows that talent and good looks run in the family.
A Refreshing Choice in the Age of Social Media
In a world obsessed with social media and constant attention, Jennifer Garner’s choice to protect her children’s privacy is refreshing. It sets a positive example for parents who are navigating the challenges of raising kids in the age of Instagram. Violet, just like any teenager, deserves the chance to grow and discover her own path without the added pressures of social media scrutiny.
