Jennifer Garner Stops For Frozen Yogurt With Violet

Dallas Buyers Club star Jennifer Garner was spotted with daughter Violet, 9, in Santa Monica, Calif. on Thursday (March 19). The mother-daughter duo enjoyed a frozen yogurt treat after school.

The mom-of-three, 42, has just returned from New York City where she was promoting her new film, Danny Collins, at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater.

During a Wednesday appearance on TODAY, Garner – who is also mom to daughter Seraphina, 6, and 3-year-old son Samuel with husband Ben Affleck – broke down in tears while talking about her family.

When asked about a recent photo shoot for Southern Living with her mother Patricia and sisters Melissa and Susannah, the actress couldn’t help but shed a few tears.

“It makes me cry to see their faces, so I won’t look,” Garner said. “There’s just nothing like sharing the spotlight or anything else with your sisters and your mom.”

She added: “It’s always fun for me to get my sisters dolled up and my mom… I can’t even take it, TODAY show is too tough for me.”

“I’m so sorry!” Garner said. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. My mom is under the weather and it just… I didn’t realize I would get emotional.”
