Jennifer Garner Speaks About Spending Time With Her Kids While Keeping Love For Travel
In a recent interview with Thrillist, Jennifer Garner opened up about her love for travel and the challenges of being a dedicated mom. At 51 years old, Jennifer’s life is a careful juggling act, always ensuring she’s there for her kids, even amidst her busy schedule.
The Hollywood actress and mother of three best known for her roles in films like Alias, is a proud mother to three wonderful children: Violet Anne, 18, Seraphina Rose, 15, and Samuel, who is about to turn 12. Despite her successful career, she prioritizes her role as a mother above all else.
According to her, her travel “is always so carefully orchestrated.” She elaborated on her travel habits and how she meticulously plans her trips to avoid missing out on her kids’ important moments, like performances and bedtime routines.
“I’m always landing and skating right into a kid’s performance or bedtime,” she explained. “So my biggest fear is delays that could get in the way of making it to something for my kids. But those are part of life,” she added, emphasizing the unpredictability of travel.
In November, Jennifer spoke exclusively with PEOPLE at the premiere of her film, Family Switch, where she admitted to seeking advice from her own children as she prepared to play a teenager in a Netflix comedy.
“You’re turning the volume up so much because it’s all so exaggerated. But yes, I definitely went to my teens and asked a bunch of questions. They were all like, ‘Mom, you’re crazy,'” she stated.
Despite the chaos that often comes with being a mom of three, Jennifer finds joy in her children’s sense of humor, intelligence, and strong work ethic. Speaking to PEOPLE, the Catch Me If You Can actress proudly shared, “My kids are funny and they’re smart, and they work really hard. And their teenage antics are at the very lowest, G-rated level, so I’m doing okay.”
“You know what? I think my kids work so hard, and they have so much pressure on them that I could never even have imagined as a teenager myself. I’ll stay right here in my old lady body, thank you very much,” she added.
