![]() ![]() Late last June, after their children (Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Sam, 4) were finished with the school year, Garner and her husband, Ben Affleck, announced their plan to divorce one day after their 10th anniversary-an eternity for most Hollywood marriages. It’s been a “year of wine,” as the 43-year-old actress describes it, laughing. The reason she was a few minutes late: “I didn’t think I was nervous, but then I realized I was at the wrong restaurant.” This is one of her favorite places the busboy even asks how the children are. She lives up to expectations-flawless skin, no makeup, big smile. Her walk is brisk and to the point as she joins me at a table in the back. This native West Virginian’s relaxed, unpretentious style has made her arguably one of the most respected public mothers in America and still a draw at the box office. You’ve seen thousands of photographs of her: jeans, sweater, thick chestnut locks swept up in a ponytail-the definition of what it is to be California casual. In an unassuming Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, I wait for Jennifer Garner. ![]()
