Jennifer Garner is known for being notoriously private and rarely speaks about her family life.
Yet the Hollywood actress recently opened up about her personal life and her new role in the upcoming Apple TV+ series, The Last Thing He Told Me.
The 50-year-old star, famous for her roles in Alias and 13 Going on 30, candidly revealed that her three children with Ben Affleck find her "extra".
Jennifer told ET: "I think my children live feeling that way. They would tattoo it. They don't even need to say it. It is fact." The star shares Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11 with ex-husband Ben Affleck.

In the new series, Jennifer portrays Hannah, a woman who collaborates with her temperamental teenage stepdaughter, Bailey (Angourie Rice), to uncover the secrets of her missing husband (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).
The role strikes a chord with Garner's real-life experiences as a mom.
Although she is proud of her "amazing teenagers," Jennifer confesses to encountering challenging moments as a mom, much like her character.
Jennifer and her daughter Seraphina shared a special bonding experience when they read Laura Dave's novel, on which the series is based. The actress recounted: "I read the book with my middle child and... bedtime went out the window until it was finished. We were compelled to keep reading."
Recently the doting mom-of-three gave a rare insight into her teenage daughters' upbringing and how she was raising them with the help of a good parenting book.
In the video below, the 13 Going on 30 star discussed what she found helpful when it came to the "emotional" journey of pre-teen to teenagehood.
The children have faced a big change in the last few years, following their dad's new relationship and consequent marriage to Jennifer Lopez.
What's more, both J-Lo and Jennifer have a strong relationship too. The "Let's Get Loud" hitmaker was quick to praise the Alias star during an interview about her blended family with Vogue last year.
She said: "[She is] an amazing co-parent, and they work really well together."
Jennifer and Ben's children now have two new stepsiblings, 14-year-old twins, Emme and Max, who J-Lo shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and they are set to move into a new family home soon, as the A-list couple has been busy searching for the perfect property.
