Jennifer Garner: Yes, Ben Wants More Kids


With son Samuel only five months old, his dad Ben Affleck is already hoping for an even newer addition to their brood.


“The fact that Ben wants another [baby] is true,” the actor’s wife Jennifer Garner told EXTRA Monday, adding that since giving birth to their third child earlier this year — they’re already parents to daughters Violet, 6½, and Seraphina, 3½ — it’s “been absolute chaos” in their home.


Given the apparent madness, it only makes sense that Garner, 40, is in disagreement with her hubby’s hopes.

“I can tell you that would be a pretty uphill battle with me,” she says. “I am not anticipating having any more kids!”

But she does appreciate how Affleck, 39, is there to help out when she’s busy with a movie role, including her most recent one, The Odd Life of Timothy Green.


“Ben took a break,” she says. “He came, he did the school drop-offs and pick-ups and bedtimes.”

How nice of Ben to take a break to parent his own children. I hope to one day find a man that kind and generous.

Listen hurr, it's not the father's job to take care of his kids. That's the woman's job!

tbf I think they have always alternated projects so one would be with the kids. I don't think it's unusual for Ben to do that. However I completely agree that it's gross the way the article makes it seem like he did some great favor by babysitting. Guys shouldn't get points for doing what they're supposed to do and what women do all the time.

My mom would rage at my grandma whenever my grandma said my dad was babysitting. She was like "He's not babysitting, he's being a father to his kids".

lol You and I share the same mom. She goes nuts when people say that...and I don't blame her.

Has she really done many projects since getting pregnant with their first, though? It seems to me (not that I follow either of them super closely) that she has barely worked since having the kids, while he's done quite a few films either in front of or behind the camera.

That stood out to me too. I hope it isn't the way she made it sound because BLECH

Ha, I was thinking the same thing.

And it's rather easy for a man to say he wants more children when he's never going to be pregnant and pop one out of his hole.
