Proof That Jennifer Garner's Luscious Lips are Real
She got 'em from her mama.
Jennifer Garner recently sat down with Southern Living and made the photo shoot a family affair. The West Virginia native posed with her mom, Patricia, younger sister Susannah, and older sister Melissa for the mag.
“We are doing this shoot so people can finally stop asking if my lips are real,” Ben Affleck's better half laughed.
Though they are quite an attractive brood, Garner says her mother made sure her three daughters weren't focused on looks while they were growing up. "What my mom did that I valued so much was to not place beauty high on the list of priorities," the 42-year-old actress shared. "It was a shock when I got to college to hear people say I was pretty."
As her mother told the magazine, "We weren't raising a celebrity; we were raising a daughter."
Jen and Ben are raising three children — Violet, 9, Seraphina 6, and Samuel, 2 — of their own in Hollywood, and take a similar approach to parenting.
"It's really important for my kids to see that everyone doesn't have the lives they see in Los Angeles," noted Garner. "That doesn't reflect the rest of the world. I want them to grow up with the Southern values I had — to look at people when they say hello and to stop and smell the roses. If I could do half as good a job as my mom did, I’d be pretty happy."
Despite being a grown adult with a family of her own, Jen notes that her relationship with her sisters is what defines her most. "More than being my kids' mother, more than being my husband's wife, I'm first and foremost the middle Garner girl," she said.
