Jennifer Garner: My Kids Call Me 'The Crone'

Jennifer Garner has revealed that her three children affectionately refer to her as 'The Crone.' The actress shared in a recent interview that she finds the nickname amusing and sees it as a natural part of parenting teenagers. She explained that when children tease their parents with love, it's different than when they are younger. Garner's kids, Violet (20), Seraphina (17), and Samuel (13), whom she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck, also consider her 'fully cringe.'

Garner embraced the moniker, stating that being called 'The Crone' is one of her favorite things. She understands that teenage teasing often comes with love and is a bonding experience. This playful dynamic contrasts with the intense public scrutiny her family faced during their childhoods. Garner previously recalled how paparazzi disruptions significantly impacted her children's activities, even leading to requests for them to stop attending events like soccer games due to the overwhelming attention.

The "Five-Star Weekend" star has often spoken about the challenges of raising children away from the spotlight. She described the constant presence of paparazzi as a "circus" and even a "danger." The "Alias" alum's experiences highlight the unique pressures of celebrity parenting, where even everyday activities can become "ludicrous" due to media intrusion. Garner's candid remarks offer a relatable glimpse into the realities of managing a high-profile family life.
