Jennifer Garner burst into tears celebrating daughter’s new chapter

Jennifer Garner is experiencing a wave of bittersweet emotions as her daughter, Violet, 18, recently graduated from high school. While the milestone is a moment of immense pride, it has also brought a touch of melancholy to the actress’s heart.

On May 20, the star known for her iconic role in “13 Going on 30” shared her feelings with her Instagram followers. “Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate,” she added, “bless our hearts.” The post resonated with many parents who have faced similar transitions.

The accompanying photos conveyed the depth of her emotions. One poignant image showed Garner amidst a crowd, clapping for the graduates with tears streaming down her face. Another shot captured her wiping away tears on the outdoor campus.

However, the 52-year-old actress almost missed this crucial moment. Garner shared a video from an airplane, expressing her anxiety and determination to make it to the ceremony. “How are we going to make it? What are we going to do?” she exclaimed.
