Jennifer Garner was recently spotted out in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, spending quality time with her youngest son, Samuel, and their dog on a casual Saturday stroll. Dressed comfortably in sporty attire, the 52-year-old actress embraced a relaxed look, donning black pants, a sweatshirt, pink sneakers, and stylish sunglasses, perfect for a laid-back weekend with family. While enjoying their walk, the mother-son duo shared laughter and easy conversation, although Garner recently opened up about Samuel’s surprising reaction to her relationship with boyfriend John Miller.
According to sources close to Garner, Samuel, just 12, has expressed his preference for his mother to remarry his father, Ben Affleck, rather than her boyfriend. This revelation has left Garner both amused and perplexed. The comment reflects the challenges that many blended families face, particularly when children have close bonds with both parents. Garner and Affleck, who divorced in 2018 after a decade of marriage, continue to co-parent their three children – Samuel, along with older sisters Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15.
On their walk, Samuel sported a relaxed look as well, wearing colorful patterned pants with a red Nike t-shirt and white sneakers. Garner’s two daughters did not accompany them this time, allowing mother and son to have a rare one-on-one moment.
After her Brentwood outing, Garner, who co-owns the organic food brand Once Upon A Farm, celebrated National Farmers Day on Instagram. Garner honored her Oklahoma farm roots with a playful video series, giving fans a glimpse of her hands-on farming life in Locust, Oklahoma. Known for her love of farm life, Garner posted a lighthearted video of herself riding a toy tractor with a trailer in tow, carrying a curious chicken. “Farmers are the heart of our country. Happy #NationalFarmersDay. Love from your biggest fan, farmer Jen,” she captioned the post.
The clip captures Garner looking every bit the “farm girl” in blue jeans, but the scene took a surprising turn as the chicken, seemingly restless, flapped its wings and landed on Garner’s head. Laughing and somewhat startled, Garner quickly shooed the bird away, sharing with her fans, “I don’t have much love for chickens!” She brushed herself off with a chuckle, her humor intact despite the minor chaos.
Garner’s playful tribute underscores the importance of National Farmers Day, which honors the hard work of farmers who ensure food makes its way to our tables. Reflecting her admiration for farmers, Garner has frequently championed farm-to-table values, making her an advocate for wholesome food and sustainable farming practices.
For Garner, who has balanced Hollywood stardom with the joys and challenges of family life, these moments serve as a testament to her versatility—whether in front of the camera or on her farm, she continues to inspire fans by embracing life’s messy, heartfelt moments.
