Jennifer Garner and Teen Fin's Sweet Shopping Spree in LA: Candy Aisles and Mother-Daughter Bonding

Jennifer Garner, 53, was ever the doting mom over the weekend as she treated her teen child Fin, 16, to a sweet treat at Rocket Fizz in Los Angeles

JENNIFER GARNER AND HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER FIN GET THEIR SUGAR FIX IN LA

It's no secret that Jennifer Garner is a devoted mother, but it seems like she's taking her dedication to the next level by indulging in some sweet treats with her 16-year-old daughter Fin. The actress and her teenage beauty were spotted browsing the aisles of Rocket Fizz in Los Angeles on Sunday, where they stocked up on an impressive haul of sugary goodies.

The 53-year-old star was dressed down in a casual striped t-shirt and blue jeans, paired with sneakers and her hair pulled back into a laid-back bun. Fin, who's turning heads with her striking looks, rocked a black zip-up hoodie over a navy t-shirt and beige cargo shorts, completing the outfit with a pair of sleek sneakers.

As they shopped for their treats, Garner and Fin were beaming with smiles, clearly enjoying some quality mother-daughter bonding time. And it's not hard to see why - after all, who doesn't love indulging in a little bit of retail therapy every now and then? The duo left the store with three bags full of goodies, no doubt planning on enjoying their sugary spoils soon.

But despite the fun-filled outing, things weren't always so sweet between Garner and Fin's older sister Violet. Last month, sources close to the family revealed that there had been some tension between the actress and her 19-year-old daughter after Violet wrote an essay about climate change and the Pacific Palisades fires while at Yale.

The essay, titled "A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles," was met with praise from critics, who praised Violet's insight and passion. However, it seems like Garner may have had some reservations - after all, she's been known to be pretty private about her family life.

In the essay, Violet compared climate change to the global COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that our response to crises is still rooted in a "pretending-like-the-problem-is-gone" mentality. She even went as far as to say that her mother was "shell-shocked" during the January fires in Los Angeles.

Despite this public display of tension, Garner has been quick to defend her daughter's views - and it seems like they've put their differences behind them for now. After all, who can blame her? Violet's advocacy work is truly inspiring, and we have no doubt that she'll make a difference in the world someday soon.

But enough about drama-filled family dynamics - let's get back to some happy news! Jennifer Garner has been making headlines recently for her romantic life with John Miller. The actress shared a sweet Father's Day tribute to her ex-husband Ben Affleck last month, uploading a rare throwback photo of the Gone Girl star as one of their children rested on his chest.

Fin previously joined Garner and dad Ben Affleck, 52, as well as brother Samuel, 13, at the Boston Red Sox game in July

In the caption, she wrote: "Happy Father's Day to 3 people's favorite landing spot." It seems like Garner is still holding onto some good memories with her ex - and who can blame her? Ben Affleck was married to the 13 Going On 30 actress from 2005 until their divorce was finalized in 2018, but they've maintained a positive co-parenting relationship.

As for Fin, she's been getting into some pretty cool activities lately. In July, she joined Garner and brother Samuel at the Boston Red Sox game - a clear sign that she's growing up fast! And speaking of growth spurts, Violet has been making headlines with her Yale coursework, writing an essay about climate change that left everyone in awe.

But what's even more impressive is that this isn't the first time Violet has spoken out on issues close to her heart. In June 2024, she advocated for the wearing of masks before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors after revealing she had contracted a post-viral condition in 2019.

It's clear that Garner and her daughters are making waves in their own unique ways - and we couldn't be more proud! Whether it's advocating for climate change or indulging in sugary treats, these three women are proof that family is everything.
