Jennifer Garner recently opened up about her kids’ humorous perspective on her acting career, admitting they often find her “fully cringe.” During a February 18 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the actress spoke candidly about her children—Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13—whom she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck.
In a light-hearted moment, Garner recounted asking her kids if they planned to watch her new Apple TV series, The Last Thing He Told Me. Their response was less than enthusiastic, prompting her to reflect on the common sentiment among children who prefer not to watch their parents in emotional or romantic scenes. “I am only embarrassing,” she joked, explaining that this is a typical response from kids to their parents’ work.
Despite the teasing, Garner expressed gratitude for the support from her co-stars—Angourie Rice, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Judy Greer—helping her navigate the ups and downs of parenting and her career. This blend of family life and acting seems to remind Garner that while her kids might find her embarrassing at times, the bond they share remains strong and humorous.
In a time when many parents grapple with their children’s perceptions, Garner’s experience offers a relatable glimpse into the life of a dedicated mom balancing both personal and professional realms. It’s a reminder that even in the world of celebrity, the challenges of parenting are universal, filled with laughter and a healthy dose of self-deprecation.
