Garner’s Post-Divorce Pivot: From Money Fears to a Farm-Brand IPO Win

Jennifer Garner disclosed on Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast that after splitting from Ben Affleck she panicked about supporting herself and her kids because she had stepped back from her career. She focused on staying close to her children and later cofounded Once Upon a Farm; Forbes notes the company went public in a $724 million IPO, making Garner the largest shareholder with about a 7% stake (~$55 million). As chief brand officer, she has helped grow sales to around $288 million annually. She says she has no regrets about prioritizing family, continues to work in Los Angeles, and has been dating John Miller since 2018.

Garner: Divorce sparked money panic and a Hollywood career reboot

Jennifer Garner says she panicked about money and her career after her 2018 divorce from Ben Affleck, realizing she had stepped back from work and faced how long she’d be able to keep earning. She moved to become an earner, launched collaboration with Once Upon a Farm, and began choosing roles more selectively to balance parenting her three kids with work. Her ongoing co-parenting with Affleck has also enabled her to take projects closer to home, including Peacock’s The Five-Star Weekend, while maintaining financial security for her family.

Garner Says Paparazzi Endangered Her Kids, Sparking California Paparazzi Reform

Jennifer Garner described how aggressive paparazzi in the 2000s endangered her family—driving through red lights, onto lawns, and even knocking over her children at preschool—leading to California’s anti-paparazzi law after she testified in 2013. She says the situation has cooled somewhat with two longtime paparazzi assigned to her, but she notes ongoing safety concerns and a troubling Stockholm syndrome-esque dynamic with her most trusted photographer.

Bekah Brunstetter explains how Peacock’s adaptation of Elin Hildebrand’s The Five-Star Weekend expands on the book with deeper female friendships, new arcs for Hollis, and plans for future seasons with a rotating ensemble; Garner’s input shapes the tone and key relationships, including the decision around Gigi’s affair and Hollis’s response.
