Leon Bennett/Getty ImagesJennifer Garner has been in the industry for 28 years now. She shares three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck, who has been acting for nearly 20 more years than her. When it comes to their movie star parents, kids Violet Anne, 17, Seraphina Rose, 13, and Samuel, 10, have their preferences for what they want to watch.
"They don't mind watching their dad," Jennifer admitted to Allure in an interview yesterday (May 9), "but they kind of want me to be their mom. They don't want to see me upset, and women cry more in what we do. And they don't really want to see me in a romantic thing."
Though the 13 Going On 30 alum always wanted to be a mother, she admitted her parenting style has evolved since welcoming her first-born, Violet. "I was such a first-time mom. [My eldest daughter] didn't have a shot," she explained. "She couldn't have a free thought — I was all over her. I was a nightmare for everyone around me." Since then, Jennifer, 51, has learned to "have a lot of faith" in her kids. Although she doesn't "love every behavior all the time," she trusts in the process. "Your kids will really figure out who they are and what they are when they're older," she added, "and most likely they will hew toward lovely."
Nice Girl Jen
The actress also got candid about her perceived "nice" girl persona in the interview. She noted how public perception can sometimes cause conflict with the desire to keep her personal life private. "The problem with, ‘Oh, she's so nice,' is that when I have any kind of boundary, people think of it as much more than it actually is," she told the publication.
Like any person having a bad day, the Alias star said she draws these boundaries when she's out in public. "The problem is being recognized on a day where I'm not so nice or when I have blackness in my soul," she continued. "I've definitely had days where I just can't do it. I scowl at people before they can walk up to me. I'm not perfect, and I don't think I'm rude, but I'm not good at being fake. I'm an open book of a person."
These Celebrities Have An April Birthday
April ignites a fire within the spring season, with Aries season from April 1st to the 19th. The fiery sign Aries, represented by the ram, is the first sign of the zodiac. Aries love being number one and are widely known to be bold, passionate leaders. Sometimes this sign can be seen as negative to those who are unfamiliar with Aries. They are usually very direct, and this can be seen as rude or arrogant. When it comes to actors who are Aries, this trait seems only further to propel them into their craft.
About half of Aries born in April are co-ruled by Jupiter, so they are all about saying yes to adventures and expanding their horizons. This free-spirited and lucky planetary influence emphasizes the thrill-seeking and risk-taking ways of April Aries. Those who are Aries in April tend to be super confident and party animals.
April Taurus Traits
As for the last ten days of April, celebrities born from the 20th until the end of the month fall under the earth sign Taurus. This sign's traits include being hard-headed yet down-to-earth. Taurus signs are known to be tenacious, reliable, loyal, and achievement-oriented. As a sign, Taurus is fixed, which means Taureans are excellent at prioritizing consistency and reliability in all areas of their lives.
Given that their ruling planet is Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money, Taurus tend to be artistic and romantic. April Tauruses are known for being loyal, dependable, and trustworthy. This sign is represented by the bull, and Tauruses born in April are enchanted by luxurious objects and are very sensual.
