Garner — who also shares kids Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with Affleck — has been open about her emotions as a mom witnessing her daughter's first steps into young adulthood. In fact, she broke down crying during Violet's commencement earlier this month.
"Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate," she wrote on Instagram May 20 alongside a video of herself in tears as she clapped for the grads. "Bless our hearts."

In the same post, the 52-year-old was seen wiping away tears while standing at an outdoor campus, prompting some of her mom friends to commiserate over how time flies.
"Oh honey … I know," Reese Witherspoon — who shares daughter Ava Phillippe, 24, and son Deacon Phillippe, 20, with ex Ryan Phillippe — commented. "You have done a great job, mama! I will be here for support and lots of hugs."
Added Gwyneth Paltrow — who is mom to kids Apple Martin, 20, and Moses Martin, 18, with ex Chris Martin — "I'm sooooo with you."
But Garner knows Violet is well-prepared for life after high school. As she shared in November, her daughter is very independent.
"She's a self-starter," the "Alias" alum explained to "Live with Kelly and Mark," noting how Violet was "totally in charge" of her own college prep. She added, "I'm proud of her no matter what."
