Jennifer Garner skipped out of Los Angeles for a peaceful fall getaway and returned to her roots in West Virginia.
The â13 Going On 30â star showcased a fall foliage walk in her hometown of Charleston, W. Va. with her family â where her mother still resides â as part of a carousel of photos on Instagram Saturday.
âWest Virginia â you know how to autumn,â the Emmy Award nominee captioned on the post which was followed by emojis of leaves along with blue and yellow hearts.
In the first photo, Garner and her sister, Melissa Wylie, are seen holding hands with their mother, Patricia, as they walk in the city with the autumn sun kissing the back of their heads. Garner dressed casually for the stroll and sported a gray jacket, black top, jeans and white sneakers.
The âAliasâ alum also shared colorful images and videos of Appalachia during her visit for her 17 million followers.
The post even caught the eyes of âMean Girlsâ actress Lacey Chabert and â21 Jump Streetâ performer Holly Robinson Peete. They both commented âbeautifulâ under the carousel.
Garner, 52, was born in Houston, Texas, but moved to West Virginiaâs capital when she was a toddler. She still goes back to be with family and even sees her nephewâs soccer games.
âI grew up with everybody at the game,â she said. âThatâs my high school, thatâs my sister, thatâs my town. Theyâve all known meâthey are not impressed,â Garner said on âThe Kelly Clarkson Showâ in January.
There was no sign of her current boyfriend John Miller on the autumn walk. She has been quietly dating the businessman on and off since 2018 â the same year Garner and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce.
Fans speculated about engagement rumors in late October when the mother of three was spotted wearing a gold ring with what appeared to be a turquoise gemstone on her ring finger.
In November 2021, Garner was photographed wearing a different gold ring that appeared to have two large diamonds surrounded by smaller diamonds.
Her friendship with Affleck has reportedly been âtoughâ on the Cali Group chairman because she was reportedly acting as a âmarriage counselorâ and âmediatorâ in his divorce with Jennifer Lopez.
âJohn doesnât like sharing Jen, and there is a divide when it comes to her and Ben,â a source told the Daily Mail.
Garner shares three kids, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with Affleck.
They were recently spotted arriving at the same event together with their 15-year-old, Seraphina, as Affleckâs ex, Lopez, separately attended.
Affleck has been going through a divorce with JLo following their highly-publicized relationship that Lopez featured on red carpets and even in her âThis Is Me ⊠Now: A Love Storyâ documentary. The âOn the Floorâ singer filed for divorce the same day as their second wedding anniversary after months of rumors that they split.
