Jennifer Garner and Violet are making the most out of an unexpected hospital visit. Late last week, Violet was photographed with her parents, Garner and Ben Affleck, as the two dropped her off at the hospital. Violet had a leg injury and was photographed with her parents supporting her. New photos showed Violet and Garner having fun together, sharing a laugh as Violet maneuvered her foldable knee walker.

In photos shared earlier this week, Violet was photographed wearing a green dress with polka dots, looking calm with her grey medical walking boot as she pushed herself on the knee walker. 

At a different point, Garner was also spotted, laughing as she held on to the knee walker. She was spotted photographed wearing sports clothes made up of black tights, a white t-shirt, and a red cap with some sunglasses. 

In another photo, Violet was seen getting out of a black car, with a woman wearing a black sweater helping her maneuver her walker. In that photo, Violet was seen with an N95 face mask. In the past, she's spoken up about the world post-COVID-19 and how important it is for her to advocate for long COVID. She's shared that her decision to be vocal about these conditions is a personal one, with her sharing that she contracted a post-viral condition in 2019. 

Before these images, Violet was last photographed publicly in early May, when she returned home to visit her family on Mother's Day. She's currently a student at Yale University.

Violet, supported by her parents

The photos of Violet's injury show that her parents were always united in supporting her. Despite Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's divorce, the pair maintains a positive relationship, always putting their kids first, reuniting for special family moments like Thanksgiving celebrations, holidays, and the like. 

Affleck and Garner share three kids: Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14, and are often photographed with them, either alone or in groups, near their home in Los Angeles.

In an interview with GQ, Affleck discussed his partnership with Garner and how the two have raised their kids as public figures. “We used to have a thing, my ex-wife and I, when they would see something on a supermarket stand, we would say, well, ‘You know this isn’t always true because if it were, you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant,'" he said. 

“I’m really lucky that I have a really good coparent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well.”
