Violet’s father is Garner’s ex-husband, Ben Affleck. The former couple also share daughter Seraphina, 13, and son Sam, 10.

Speaking to Well and Good in 2018, the star of “Alias” and “Yes Day” explained how she was able to make time for her family amid her busy Hollywood schedule.

“My kids are used to the strange rhythm of production,” she said. “I’m either very much home and available, or I’m working a bunch and leaving notes everywhere for them to find during the day.”

“I love to hike with my kids on Sunday afternoons,” she added. “And I have been known to bribe them to meditate.”
