If anything, Jennifer Garner was the doting mom as she escorted her 14-year-old Seraphina and Jennifer Lopez’s daughter Emme, 15, to Disneyland on Sunday.
Spending their time at the Happiest Place on Earth on rollercoasters such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the stepsisters, who have grown close since their parents split their relationship in May 2021 after nearly 20 years, looked blissfully happy.
The 51-year-old Alias star made sure to capture the girls’ fun adventure along with a group of their teenage friends, dutifully taking group shots of them with their pals.
For the excursion, the Golden Globe winner wore a blue long sleeve shirt with a yellow smiley face on it, jeans, Nike sneakers and a black leather bag on her shoulder.
Emme, whose mother is married to Seraphina’s father Ben Affleck, wore a patterned brown sweater and light-wash denim shorts.

Seraphina opted to rock an olive green graphic tee and a brown flannel tee.
Previously, Lopez gushed that Garner is a “great co-parent” and noted how she works “really well” with Affleck in an interview with Fashion last year.
While talking about merging their families, the superstar said they have been working hard to handle the “process of transition” with “a lot of care”.
“They have so many feelings. They are teenagers. But so far it’s going very well,” the mother of two looked back. “What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me seeing things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally bound.”
Earlier this month, Lopez spoke about how watching Ben, 50, raise their children under the same roof has brought “tears to” her eyes.
“He’s a great dad,” she said. ‘It brings tears to my eyes. He really is the best dad I’ve ever seen. He’s so involved, he teaches me how to deal with the kids sometimes.’
Jennifer called Ben the type of dad everyone would ask for — a “present, loving dad who cares.”
“He’s just so up to date, he’s such a brilliant guy anyway, like he’s learned so much, and you can just tell when he had his kids, he read every book and everything you could possibly learn about kids , and he applies for it and attends and that’s all you can ask for, is a gift, loving father who cares about you and who shows up every day, and that’s who he is.’

Blended family: Jennifer and Ben combined their families after they tied the knot last year
Friendly: Affleck shares Violet, 17, Seraphina, and Samuel, 11, with his ex Jennifer Garner (L)
Jennifer and Ben combined their families after tying the knot last year – the Waiting For Tonight singer has twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares Violet, 17, Seraphina, and Samuel, 11, from his previous marriage to Garner.
Now a mom of teens, Jennifer said it was hard to watch her kids begin to “isolate” from her.
“I’m experiencing this now, we’re all going through it for the first time with our own kids, and you’re like, ‘Oh, this is what she was talking about,'” she explained.
“This is when your kids won’t talk to you, and they kind of individualize you, and it’s all necessary, and intellectually I get it. But my heart! My heart!’
