The actress also posted a video clip with her father William John Garner to mark Father's Day.
She captioned the post, “Being fathered by someone who loves being a dad is a gift; my sisters and I know this love and (lucky for us) all of our kids do, too.”

Inside Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s co-parenting partnership
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck may have ended their marriage nearly a decade ago, but their commitment to raising their three children remains as strong as ever.
Since announcing their separation in 2015 and finalizing their divorce in 2018, the former couple has consistently prioritized family over everything else, creating a co-parenting partnership that has earned quiet admiration.
They’ve been seen attending school events, holidays, and special milestones together, setting a grounded example in the often turbulent world of celebrity relationships.
Affleck has openly credited his ex-wife for being a steady force in their children’s lives, once saying in an interview, “I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great.”
Garner has rarely spoken about their dynamic publicly but has let her actions speak volumes.
From staging a private intervention during Affleck's struggles with addiction to advocating for the privacy of their children, she’s shown unwavering dedication to her role as a mother.
While both have moved on personally, Affleck recently separated from Jennifer Lopez, and Lopez has quietly dated businessman John Miller since 2018, their shared focus on parenting continues to unite them.
