Jennifer and Ben welcomed Seraphina into the world on January 6, 2009, in Los Angeles, naming her Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck. Linda from NameBerry, a website devoted to baby names, once explained, “Seraphina comes from the Hebrew word seraphim, the name of an order of winged angels — the highest angels in heaven — and is also a saint’s name.” With a name so filled with hope and celestial significance, Seraphinas early years seemed destined for brightness and unity.

However, as the tides of time ebbed and flowed, so did the dynamics within the Affleck household. In 2015, when Seraphina was just 6 years old, a turning point arrived. Jennifer and Ben, in a moment of profound change, announced their decision to divorce. “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they shared in a joint statement.

Jennifer filed for divorce in April 2017, when the couples daughter was 8. The divorce proceedings were amicable, with both parties filing without a lawyer and agreeing on joint legal and physical custody of their three children. The divorce was finalized three years later, in 2018, closing a chapter in their lives.

During this period, Ben faced personal challenges, undergoing a 40-day treatment for alcohol addiction. He expressed his gratitude, saying, “The support I have received from my family, colleagues, and fans means more to me than I can say. It’s given me the strength and support to speak about my illness with others.” He publicly thanked his loved ones for standing by him.

In addition, Seraphinas friendship with her stepsister Emme Muniz highlights a close-knit bond between the children of two superstars. The two teenagers have been spotted enjoying time together.

“Alias” star, Jennifer, once reflected on her childrens growing years, stating, “My kids are funny and theyre smart, and they work really hard. And their teenage antics are at the very lowest, G-rated level, so I’m doing okay.” Jennifer divulged in a September 2019 interview, that her kids have nicknames for her, such as “the dragon,” because she tends to say no to them often.

Her daughter Seraphina even wrote a note to her, which the movie star posted on her Instagram account. The note read: “When I grow up, I want to be a fun-killing mom, just like you!”

The actresss youngest daughter, Seraphina, enjoys traveling just as much as she and her siblings do. “My kids are awesome on a road trip,” Jennifer once gushed.
