Jennifer Garner

WHO WOULDN’T WANT A MOTHER LIKE JENNIFER GARNER?

How many A-list celebrity moms do you see sitting in a public park watching a soccer game with her little boy? Besides Jennifer Garner, we can only think of two others – Gwen Stefani and Heidi Klum! Jennifer and Sam were watching one of her daughters play soccer. Garner must be the perfect mom – she spends time with each of her children separately and lets them pursue their own interests. She walks them to school and walks them home. Her little boy Sam is a dead ringer for his mom. And that’s not a bad thing.

BEN AFFLECK: LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING

On paper, Ben Affleck looks like a great catch. He’s tall, dark, handsome, and smart, and has a successful career as an award-winning actor and director. Certainly he has attracted his share of equally attractive and successful women. But all is not as it appears. Ben has had a drinking problem for quite awhile that called for several visits to rehab. At times he can be surly and moody. What’s more, Ben is addicted to gambling in excess and has never totally been able to give THAT up, despite financial repercussions. Jennifer Garner has endured all of his addictions and we have to give her credit for never complaining. And she is trying to make the most of their co-parenting. Ben did ONE thing right – he married Jennifer. (Above, Ben, looking a bit puffy, took Seraphina to karate class.)

BEN AFFLECK AND THE NANNY SYNDROME

Watch out! Ben Affleck is MAD at the press. He had hoped to have a civilized, uneventful divorce from Jennifer Garner, but someone blabbed to media about his nanny and all hell broke loose. It’s entirely possible that he has the nanny stashed at the Bel Air hotel at his expense. Whether that’s true or not, you can bet SOMETHING is up, and Ben is embarrassed and angry. He’s currently in Atlanta with the kids while Jennifer is filming.

BEN AFFLECK WON’T BE LIVING FAR FROM HIS KIDS

Maybe this WILL be a civilized divorce. Ben Affleck is reportedly remodeling a wing of his 8700 sq ft Pacific Palisades home for his own private use. There were trucks and evidence of construction going on there today. It will include a separate bedroom. Since he and Jennifer Garner announced their divorce, he’s been living at home. This way he can spend lots of time with their children when he’s not on location shooting movies. Apparently both parents are happier and get along better living separately. And this way they won’t have to give up the large family home.

BEN AFFLECK AND JENNIFER GARNER: PERFECT WORLD SHATTERED

AG074276_08bencut

SO sad that the rumors about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner splitting up proved to be true. Ben hasn’t looked happy for a long time. We’re guessing that being a dad in Brentwood just wasn’t exciting enough for him. He’d rather be at an all night poker game in Las Vegas. Ten years IS a long time for a Hollywood couple to stay together, but we always thought Ben hit the jackpot because Jennifer is such a hands-on mother. Their three kids seemed to have the perfect life for a long time.

JENNIFER GARNER: SO FAR SO GOOD

Hopefully those rumors about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner splitting are not true – and they will turn out to be just headlines made up by tabloids lacking real scoops. Not being photographed together for a few weeks is hardly evidence of imminent divorce. Jennifer continues to be the mother everyone would like to have – above, she walked her rambunctious son Samuel, 3, to school in Brentwood along with her nanny and another mom with her child.

BEN AFFLECK CAN’T RESIST SNEAKING A SMOKE

Ben Affleck is still struggling with his addiction to nicotine. He lights up every chance he gets outside, including when he drops his kids off at school, above. Ben hasn’t even switched to vaping – if that’s any better. Whenever he gets caught on camera smoking, Ben gets mad and hides his contraband. His wife Jennifer has been after him for years to quit for the sake of the children.

JENNIFER GARNER KNOWS HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME

We always suspected that Jennifer Garner was a real, down to earth person and she proved it at a Clippers game. Jen treated herself and her kids and kids friends to pizza during the game. She got caught taking a big bite with considerable enthusiasm and gusto – this is something you will probably never see Gwyneth Paltrow doing. We always thought Ben Affleck got lucky when he married Jennifer.

BEN AFFLECK TRADES ONE BAD HABIT FOR ANOTHER

We can practically read Ben Affleck’s mind as he was walking out of the Chateau Marmont after the SAG awards with his wife Jennifer Garner. He couldn’t WAIT to light up a smoke and take a huge puff, but was not happy to walk into a nest of paparazzi. He knows Jennifer dislikes his nasty habit – he was a chain-smoker for 20 years and quit a few years back. But he started again when he filmed Argo. When he saw he was being photographed above, he ditched the cigarette and also became a litterer!

BEN AFFLECK AND JENNIFER GARNER: EXCEPTIONAL HOLLYWOOD PARENTS

You most often see Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner out somewhere entertaining their three kids. But they do take a little time to work on their eight year old marriage. They went out for coffee alone together this weekend before Ben took off for Disneyland with Violet, 8, and Serephina, 4. Jennifer stayed home with 18 month old Samuel. Above, they look like really happy parents. But sometimes we do wonder if he has a man-cave at their house where he occasionally stays up all night gambling online.
