The teenager headed off to college earlier this year, reportedly attending the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. It may be far from New York, where she grew up with a close bond to her mom, but that hasn't stopped the mother-daughter duo from seeing each other since term started a couple months ago.
Earlier this year, Jennifer Garner said a tearful farewell to her daughter Violet, who is reportedly studying at Yale University. But the freshman student hasn't been completely without family since starting at the Ivy League college, as former stepmom Jennifer Lopez's sister paid her a campus visit, indicating there's no bad blood between Violet and the singer.
For the Pretty Woman star, this Thanksgiving will be particularly emotional as Phinnaeus and Hazel return from college. The twins recently celebrated a milestone birthday, turning 20 years old. Julia previously said of their college experience that she "immediately" made supporting their schools her "entire life."
Since her youngest daughter Grier headed off to college, Brooke Shields has spoken openly about her empty nester experience. No doubt she'll be ecstatic to have both Rowan and Grier back from Wake Forest University in North Carolina.
Another vocal mom about her empty nest life, Ali Wentworth will be happy to see her daughters Elliott and Harper as they return from their respective colleges, Brown and Vanderbilt. George Stephanopoulos will also be over the moon to see his kids again.
