Meghan Rooney — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:30:41 EST

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner cheered on their daughter Seraphina as she crossed the finish line at her track meet on Sunday in Pacific Palisades. Along with her proud parents, Sera also had the support of older sister Violet, who helped her younger sister prep for her race by accompanying for her pre-run stretches. It was a loving afternoon for Jen and Ben, who showed PDA in the stands. Adding to the family fun, Ben also treated his daughters to a trip to the farmers market that day as well.

Seraphina is not the only one in the family to receive praise for her accomplishments. It was recently announced that Ben will receive an honorary doctorate from Brown University on May 26. It's the season for special recognition, as Ben's best friend Matt Damon just got an award last week from Harvard. Ben will also participate in Live Below the Line, where for one day he will consume less than $1.50 worth of food and drink.

Meghan Rooney — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:46:51 EST

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and their daughters, Violet and Seraphina, had a family outing in LA on Saturday. Boston native Ben wore a Red Sox hat for a stop with his girls at Brentwood Country Mart, where he also showed PDA with his wife. He's been keeping his hometown in mind since the Boston Marathon bombings paralysed the town last week. Ben made his support known on his Twitter account, sharing, "Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston."

Although Ben and Jen were joined by the girls for the weekend stop, they were able to sneak in alone time together. The couple kicked off the weekend with a Friday night dinner date, and they also ran errands as a duo following Jen's 41st birthday last Wednesday.

Ben and Violet Make a Sunny Stop as Jen Addresses His Oscars Speech

Meghan Rooney — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:36:46 EST

Ben Affleck helped his oldest daughter, Violet, out of his car in Santa Monica yesterday. Violet wore a pastel ensemble and carried a bag monogrammed with her name for the bright father-daughter stop. Ben is currently on dad duty with wife Jennifer Garner spending time in NYC. Although Jen left her family for a stay on the East Coast, she got in plenty of quality time with the kids recently. Earlier this week, she was the one helping Violet out of the car while out in LA, and Jen also shared brunch with all three of their children over the weekend.

Ben and Jen have been taking turns caring for their kids based on their busy schedules, and she recently addressed his highly criticised Oscar speech, in which he referred to their marriage as "work." Although critics were quick to paint his words in a negative light, Jennifer explained Ben's Oscars speech from her perspective in an interview with Britain's Telegraph, revealing, "I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world. I think he was saying, 'Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I'm in it with you and I know you are in it with me.' That's the way I took it."

Ben Affleck planted a kiss on his wife Jennifer Garner while out in LA on Saturday. Ben and Jen showed the rare public display of affection as they took their two oldest children, Seraphina and Violet, to a food stand for a fun family outing. The couple, as well as their children, have been able to spend quality time together recently. Ben and Jen kicked off their weekend during a Starbucks stop with Sera on Friday and the whole gang got together for a trip to the park last weekend.

Along with dedicating her time to her family, Jen has had her fair share of solo outings lately as well. Jen sported a pair of sexy heels for a meeting on Friday and also joined a group of girlfriends for dinner at Giorgio Baldi last week.

Jen and Ben Get Playful With Their Kids on St. Paddy's Day

Maria Mercedes Lara — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:56:05 EST

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck spent St. Patrick's Day with their little ones at a park in LA. While Jennifer, Seraphina, Samuel and Violet got in the Irish spirit with green outfits - Violet even dyed her hair chartreuse - Ben opted to skip a shamrock style at the playground. During a grocery run earlier in the day, Samuel sported a Boston Red Sox hat, possibly to match dad Ben, who is an avid Red Sox fan. The cap also protected him from the sun, which is fitting since Jen opened up about how she is protecting her kids' skin from harmful rays at Neutrogena's Sun Summit last week. She said, "We talk about skin health, and they know why they have to wear sunscreen. If someone forgets, they'll say 'Hey, did you forget to put sunscreen on me?'"

Before she got into an emerald mood, Jennifer spent her Saturday running errands with Ben in Brentwood. The two held hands when they grabbed lunch at Sugarfish and then popped into a few stores to do a bit of shopping.

Ben and his wife Jennifer Garner made the Argo premiere a date night, joining George Clooney, whose Smokehouse Films produced the movie, and his lady Stacy Keibler.
