Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter Violet Affleck is keeping spirits high after an injury.
The 20-year-old was pictured on May 27 with her parents, who rushed her to the ER in Los Angeles after an apparent injury, with the supportive family photographed at a clinic in the neighborhood.
Violet's health update
However, it looks like the oldest of the former couple's three kids is recovering well, pictured on Sunday, May 31 in Brentwood, California with her mom.
Violet, who rarely steps out without her KN95 mask, was photographed all smiles wearing a medical boot and using a mobility scooter to get to a waiting car. She was accompanied by Jennifer, 54.
Her stance on masks and health
The 20-year-old is currently a student at Yale University. While she maintains a private life like her younger siblings, Fin and Samuel Affleck, she did make an appearance at the United Nations last year to give a speech on the impact of long COVID-19 among children and the need for better and cleaner air infrastructure.
"I represent a generation that in many ways already knows how we've been failed," she said, wearing her mask. "We are told by leaders across the board that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes."
"Young people lacked both real choice in the matter and information about what was being chosen for us."
She noted that she was "terrified for the children who do not or soon will not know a world without debilitating pain and exhaustion, who cannot trust their bodies to play, explore, and imagine, and who will not know the potential of their own minds, unfettered by the cognitive damage of a COVID-19 infection," as someone affected by long COVID-19 herself.
In May 2025, she also published a research paper in Yale's Global Health Review, titled "A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles."
Jennifer on parenting teens in the public eye
Jennifer and Ben, 53, were married from 2005 to 2018, with both finding love with other partners soon after. The former is currently dating entrepreneur John Miller, while the latter was married to former fiancée Jennifer Lopez from 2022 to 2025. They remain close friends and co-parents, however.
"Parenting now has shifted," Jennifer previously told Marie Claire UK about being a mom to teenagers. "It's more about parenting with a button on my mouth…. You have to let them grow up and make their choices. You don't get to control it," adding she's "so proud of how they walk through the world, and proud of them for trying hard."
The Alias star also notes that dealing with increased scrutiny of her and her family's lives is still "the hardest thing. Not hard in the grand scheme of what is hard in the world, but tricky for me and tricky for my family."
