Jennifer Garner shares ‘hard’ part of raising her and Ben Affleck’s kids

Jennifer Garner’s lips are zipped.

The toughest part of parenting for the actress has been allowing her and Ben Affleck’s three children — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — to make decisions by themselves.

“I have a really hard time not saying, ‘This is what I see you as,’ and, ‘I think you should,'” the “13 Going on 30” star admitted to People in an interview published Thursday. “I really have to sit on my hands.”

She and Affleck, 51, have co-parented the trio since separating in 2015 and finalizing their divorce three years later.

The former couple are often photographed chatting at their youngest child’s basketball games, most recently reuniting at Disneyland for Samuel’s birthday.

As for the preteen’s siblings, Seraphina debuted a buzzcut last month and Violet is gearing up for college.

Garner told “Live With Kelly and Mark” viewers about the “exciting” process in November 2023.

“She’s handling it like a champ and she’s totally in charge,” the “Alias” alum said at the time. “I’m not having to say, ‘Are you doing this, are you doing this?’ She’s a self-starter. And I’m just proud of her no matter what.”

Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, has two kids of his own, while Affleck is the stepdad to his wife Jennifer Lopez’s twins, Emme and Max.
