‘The Kingdom’ star Jennifer Garner flashes her million dollar smile on the October issue of Marie Claire.
Inside the mag, the A-list Hollwood mom talks love, life, babies and her future as the next Oprah!
Jennifer on her 21-month-old daughter Violet: “She’s pretty awesome. We’re in that sweet spot before the terrible twos. She sleeps till 7! Yeah, we lucked out. Supposedly [when] you have one that’s this easy and great, you’re screwed the next time around.”Jennifer on the paparazzi: “[The paparazzi] just nips away at anything you’re doing, the small pleasures. I would give just about anything to make it go away, especially for my daughter. I feel like she has a right to her privacy, and it’s kind of encroached on.”
Jennifer on her two year and couting marriage to Ben Affleck: “I don’t know what makes it work. But it does. One thing that makes it work is that we’re both pretty nice. He’s not someone who’s ever going to blow up on anyone. What I mean is, if he’s ever angry with me, he doesn’t act out on it in a weird way or yell at me. And I am the same. So we handle conflict in a very loving and adult way.
Jennifer on having more children: “We definitely wonder what it would be like to have another — hopefully, knock on wood, someday. [raps table] My job is great to have as a mom. I get to take breaks and then work in a really concentrated way. During that concentrated time, it sucks, but whatever.”
Jennifer on her future as a talk show maven: “I feel like women, and especially mothers, are disenfranchised from our families; we don’t have the same support group around us that we did a generation ago. All my girlfriends and my sisters were having these same issues, and I felt like, ‘Why isn’t this being addressed?’ There are tons of talk shows, yet there’s nothing that’s specifically for them. But I’ve never gotten the balls to go out and do it.”

FIERCE pics! Finally! I thought she was going to start looking like Katie Holmes….sorry Kate Cruise (or whatever) and get really dull but she’s still got a few stunning pics left in her!
^^I agree..motherhood doesnt mean that u have to start dressing twice your age.And Jennifer Garner is older than Katie holmes even. Really hot pics!!
sick of the paps? move out of brentwood. at the levels she and ben have reached in their careers, they don’t need to be in la 24/7.
I really like her; I think she is one of the few celebs who is genuinely down to earth.
Ok, why can’t she look this gorgeous and sexy all the time? I really hate her casual stay-at-home-mom look. All that’s missing is the mini-van and a dog.
DAMN momma!….these are some amazing pictures. i feel the same way about her GW, her and Ben Affleck.
She’s so humble and normal. I hope her and Ben stay together forever. They are good for eachother obviously and seem to have a very stable home base established for Violet. Seems the rest of Hollywood could learn a thing or two from them.
GORGEOUS.
maximum big surprise; um, isn’t she a stay at home mom? what’s wrong with a mom look? ha.
and i totally agree with you, shell.
Guess I’m the only one who thinks this sounds revoltingly calculated.
I like her as a Mom……but couldn’t care less about her in general.
Wow, I guess I am in the minority here. I think she looks better in her candids. She looks awful in these pics. Stupid facial expressions. I also don’t think she’s that pretty. I do like the fact that she seems to live a “normal” lifestyle. Plus, she is who she is, Maximum B.S., at least she’s not putting on a fake persona when she goes out. Where is it written that you have get all dolled up to go to the grocery store. It’s called acting normal.
I think she is very beautiful and seems like a great person. I dont’ like these pics though because the faces that she makes. Those are not sexy…. she looks like she is hurting.
ugh. i thought she was alright but she’s now one of those celebs who when she has a baby its like no-one else in the world has ever had such an experience. please.
Actually, I’m 100% with you Pak31 :o)
Acting normal? Why is it then when you become you’re a mother you’re supposed to look dowdy and boring? Is it a crime to look sexy or at least presentable???? Makes me sick how some people totally let go of themselves once they become a mother. It’s like why try harder, I’m a mom now. Please!
