Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter Violet flew the nest at the end of August to begin her studies at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut.
The 18-year-old has been learning to live independently away from her family, who have no doubt missed her a lot during the first term away.
What's more, Violet chose to move across the country to the East Coast, while her family remain in Los Angeles on the West Coast.
However, this week, Violet will likely be reuniting with her parents during her first recess. Yale's website stats that classes pause between October 15-21, meaning Violet will be able to see her parents, and siblings Fin and Samuel.
Jennifer in particular will no doubt be thrilled to see her firstborn again, having been very open about her struggles ahead of Violet's departure.

In the caption, she wrote: "Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate."

Referencing her tearful Instagram post, she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Sheinelle Jones: "I was a wreck the whole month leading up to it. Every awards ceremony, every final, everything, I just cried and cried at everything." However, when it came to the actual day, Jennifer just felt pride. She added: "Then, the day of (graduation) was so happy that there was nothing to be other than just so proud and happy."

She had a list of demands to "confront the long COVID crisis," including mask availability, and air filtration.

She said she "saw first-hand that medicine doesn't always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses."

The teen had built a close bond with JLo and the pair had been pictured out together on a number of occasions, both with and without Ben.
