Jennifer Garner was a crying mess when she marked a huge milestone in her daughter Violet's life.
The 52-year-old took to Instagram to share several teary-eyed photos as she struggled to contain her emotions during the 18-year-old's recent high school graduation.
In one image, Jennifer is overcome with emotion as she stands and applauds the graduates alongside fellow parents.
A second photo shows her wiping the tears from her eyes as she sobs uncontrollably.
It appears the waterworks started before Jennifer even made it to the school as another candid shot sees her sitting on a plane while dabbing her eyes with a tissue.
Captioning the post, she penned: "Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate. (bless our hearts)."

Before her 18th birthday in November, Jennifer opened up about her feelings about her daughter's major milestone and her plans for her future during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark.
The hosts congratulated her on Violet's upcoming birthday as Jennifer confirmed: "I'm about to have an adult. I'm three days from my eldest turning 18. Can you believe that?"

As for how Violet is dealing with her future plans, Jennifer said: "She's handling it like a champ, she's in control and I'm not having to ask her are 'you doing this or are you doing that?'."
Kelly then quipped: "Self-starter," and Jennifer added: "She's a self-starter."

Ben went on to marry former fiancée Jennifer Lopez in 2022, one year after they rekindled their romance.
Jennifer and Ben have remained close, and she is thought to have a good relationship with JLo too and has even been pictured taking her child Fin and JLo's child Emme, 15, to Disneyland.

Speaking about her parenting style on Today, the actress admitted she doesn't have "some overarching philosophy".
"I just think they’re such cool people and I want to hear everything, and I want to be around," she said. "But I also think it’s OK if they suffer from a little bit of benign neglect."
Jennifer added: "Their lives are their own, I'm not trying to live their life, and I don't mind that they see that I love mine."
© Getty ImagesJennifer is notoriously private about her family, but she did recently give a rare interview with Dr. Aliza Pressman on her podcast, Raising Good Humans, where she spoke about her children.
Jennifer revealed that her number one hope was for them to have a sense of humor. "Funny is number one. Please be funny, that's why I had you," she joked.
Luckily, it appears she got her wish: "Check, check, check, that's one thing, thank god!" she added.
