Jennifer Garner marked Father’s Day on Instagram with a heartfelt tribute to her dad, William John Garner, and to her ex Ben Affleck—along with never-before-seen photos featuring Ben and their children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel.
Jennifer Garner didn’t wait for the calendar to turn before bringing out the sentimental side of Father’s Day.
On Sunday, the actress posted a carousel on Instagram honoring her father, William John Garner, and her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. In the caption. Garner wrote. “My sisters and I loved to spoil our dad; he never wanted for fresh baked cookies or a bowl of ice cream. I see the way my kids dote on their dad and I’m happy for them. To love and be loved by a great dad is a gift. Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads and to the kids of dads, too.”.
The post quickly turned into a family moment for fans: Garner shared adorable throwback images of her kids with Ben, including never-before-seen pics. In the carousel, she also offered a look at her dad alongside the photos of Ben and their children—Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14.
It’s the kind of tribute that feels less like a grand announcement and more like a quiet, personal note passed along—with the focus firmly on the dads in their lives and the way the kids show up for them.

Aww the throwbacks are cute.
So she’s posting Ben pics like they’re still together or what? Not gonna lie it’s kinda confusing but yeah Father’s Day I guess.
I didn’t even realize those kids were that old (Violet 20? Fin 17? Samuel 14?) I thought they were way younger. Also her dad sounds like the real MVP with cookies and ice cream. Ben looks like he’s always serious in photos though lol.
Instagram carousel “sweet” blah blah. I mean good for the kids I guess. But why is the ex-husband getting tagged in the Father’s Day thing like it’s a family reunion? Seems like PR to me, like they’re trying to smooth everything over so nobody talks about whatever happened. Still, I’ll admit the old pics are better than most celebrity drama.
