Jennifer Garner is a doting daughter.<br /><br />The actress was photographed sweetly assisting her elderly mother, Patricia Ann Garner, while walking to a building in Los Angeles on Thursday.<br /><br />Jennifer wore an all-black outfit while escorting Patricia with their arms linked.<br /><br />The former teacher, for her part, looked cozy in black sweatpants and a gray sweater.<br /><br />The duo were seemingly meeting up with the “Alias” star’s ex-husband Ben Affleck and their son, Samuel, as the actor was seen entering the same building with the 11-year-old earlier that day.<br /><br />The preteen pulled a rolling backpack and held a water bottle.<br /><br />Affleck, meanwhile, carried his signature drink: an iced coffee from Dunkin’.<br /><br />The Oscar winner and Jennifer, both 51, frequently come together to co-parent Samuel and his older siblings, Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 14.<br /><br />Most recently, the former couple linked up at one of their youngest child’s sporting events in Santa Monica, Calif.<br /><br />Since the duo finalized their divorce in 2018, Affleck has moved on with Jennifer Lopez, to whom he was previously engaged from 2002 to 2004.<br /><br />The “Gigli” co-stars wed last year, and the “Let’s Get Loud” singer has reportedly helped push Affleck and his ex-wife’s co-parenting dynamic to a “better” place.<br /><br />“The drama of the past and the emotions of divorce are long gone and they are all making it work,” a source told the Daily Mail last month. “It is really a very happy co-parenting situation.”<br /><br />The “13 Going on 30” star told “Access Hollywood” on Monday that she avoids working mom “guilt” and “panic” while raising her and Affleck’s kids by “lean[ing] into wherever she is.”<br /><br />Jennifer makes room to give back to others as well, even being caught on camera in September attempting to gift her too-small shoes to an unhoused man in a wheelchair — before convincing a paparazzo to hand off his larger ones instead.<br /><br />As for her love life, the “Last Thing He Told Me” star has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Cali Group CEO John Miller since 2018.<br /><br />#jennifergarner <br />#benaffleck
