September 2, 2024

Jennifer Garner sparked a huge reaction from her fans over the weekend when she took a walk down memory lane and shared a photo from her childhood. 

The fun-loving star shared an image of herself asleep on the couch cuddling her pet, with a book balanced on her knee. 

"I’m wishing you a 1970’s couch, book, and cat kind of long weekend," she wrote alongside the image.

In the photo, Jennifer sported a bowl-cut hairdo, plaid shirt and rolled up jeans. But it was the patterned couch which was the talk of her followers. 

The brown and white bold design was typical of the era and fans loved it, commenting: "Those cushions gave the best naps," and "the sofa is amazing."

Jennifer is a mom to three children, Samuel, 12, Fin, 15, and Violet, 18, who she shares with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck

Despite their divorce, they have remained amicable and continue to co-parent their kids successfully.

Jennifer and Ben announced their divorce in 2015

After they announced the end of their marriage in 2015, Jennifer opened up about Ben and confessed she will always love him. 

In a revealing interview with Vanity Fair, she said: "I didn’t marry the big fat movie star; I married him and I would go back and remake that decision. I ran down the beach to him, and I would again. You can’t have these three babies and so much of what we had."

Jennifer added: "He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. 

"He's just a complicated guy. I always say, 'When his sun shines on you, you feel it.' But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow."

They're also proud parents to Fin

At the time, the Alias actress explained: "He's still the only person who really knows the truth about things. And I’m still the only person that knows some of his truths."

Jennifer has been dating businessman and CEO, John C. Miller since 2018. Neither have publicly spoken about their relationship which has mostly been confirmed via photos or sightings.

Ben and JLo recently split after two years of marriage

When asked if marriage would ever be on the cards for her again, Jennifer told People: "I don't know. I'm so far from it. And I don't know that marriage would need to be a part… I mean I definitely don't think that I'll be single forever. But this is not the time. I don't need to complicate it; I'm good."
