From a young ballerina to a leading actress of her generation, Jennifer Garner has come a long way. Career, family, discretion… A portrait of a Hollywood star.
If Jennifer Garner had not become an actress, she could have been a dancer. She developed a strong taste for the stage and dance from a very young age, starting ballet at the age of three. Despite starting studies in chemistry at university, she quickly returned to her first love: the stage. Her determination paid off when in 2001, she landed the role that launched her career. After several appearances on television, she was chosen by J.J. Abrams to become spy Sydney Bristow in “Alias.” The success was such that barely a year later, she was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance. Her career was definitely launched.
In 2003, she appeared in the film “Catch Me If You Can” by Steven Spielberg, then in “Daredevil,” “13 Going on 30,” “Love, Simon,” “Juno,” and “Dallas Buyers Club.” Over the years, Jennifer Garner has explored different genres and it has paid off. She has become one of the leading actresses of her generation.
Jennifer Garner, a fulfilled actress and mother
In her personal life, Jennifer Garner was married to actor Scott Foley from 2000 to 2003. She then spent ten years as one of the most famous couples in Hollywood with Ben Affleck. Alongside their respective careers, the two actors became parents to three children: Violet, born in 2005, Seraphina in 2009, and Samuel in 2012. However, despite being seen as solid by the world, they announced their separation in 2015. This breakup did not prevent them from maintaining a friendly relationship over the years, for the sake of their children.
Jennifer Garner has always taken care to protect her love life. Since splitting with Ben Affleck, she seems to be in a discreet relationship with a businessman named John Miller. Is it true that to live happily, we must live in secret?
