Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s Daughter Is Her Mom’s Clone
There are times when the media overstates just how much a celebrity’s child is their “spitting image,” and times when the only proof that a nepo baby is, in fact, the spawn of a famous person, and not the result of said famous person’s dabbling in extreme antiaging techniques, is a photo of the parent and child together in the same room.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s 17-year-old daughter, Violet, falls in the latter category.
Over the weekend Violet accompanied her dad and her stepmom, Jennifer Lopez, to a house party in the Hamptons. The party was more star-studded than the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, with guests including Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Tom Brady, and did I mention Bennifer?
But as photos from the event, hosted by entrepreneur Michael Rubin, began circulating online, it was Violet’s uncanny resemblance to mom Jennifer Garner that stopped fans in their tracks. I mean, at first glance, this pic of Violet with her adult chaperones looks like a photo of a Jennifer sandwich, with Ben Affleck in the middle. The face shape, the hair color, even the dimples!
“Jennifer Garner gave birth to herself,” wrote one person on Twitter.
Added another, “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s daughter looks more like Jennifer Garner than Jennifer Garner does.”
Garner herself was not in the Hamptons (or at least, she wasn’t at this party with every other famous person) and instead celebrated the Fourth of July holiday with a quirky poolside Instagram in which she wears swim goggles and a one-shoulder red swimsuit. “Happy summer,” she says in the video.
Violet’s likeness to her daughter has been pointed out before, like when the pair attended a White House State Dinner last December together, but the older she gets, the stronger the resemblance grows. Watch out, Reese and Ava—there are new twins in town.
