Jennifer Garner owns a stunning farmhouse in the hills of Los Angeles that she built after she and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce in 2018 — the same spot the actor sought reprieve amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
The “Argo” star, 52, was seen arriving at the $7.9 million abode in July after his ex reportedly encouraged him to “work on his marriage” with Lopez, 55, before they ultimately called it quits.
Garner, 52, seems to love opening the home up to family and friends, as throughout Tuesday’s video with Architectural Digest, she spoke frequently about her kids and their friends using the space.
“A special feature, especially in the summer, is having [the living room] doors all the way wide open,” she said as the video showed the wall of glass in the living room seamlessly slide away to reveal a deck and pool.
The only problem is if my kids are having their class pool party here .. it’s very hard to keep wet kids out of the house. I have to really just stand guard,” she smiled.
She also enthusiastically brought up her kids piling into one of the four built-in bunk beds in the slumber party room to watch a movie together.
“I love having a spot that is just, where kids can be kids,” she noted.
Garner said she keeps her kids’ favorite toys from childhood in the room so little children who visit feel welcome — but she said she catches her offspring taking the toys out every so often.
The “13 Going on 30” star shares her three children — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — with Affleck.
Building her home post-divorce wasn’t the original plan, but after years of failing to find what felt like her forever spot, she took matters into her own hands.
