The soon-to-be-mom of three shared her secrets to the enviably normal family life she’s been able to create with her fellow A-lister husband, Ben, and their two daughters, Violet and Seraphina…including a third baby on the way. And does having a great seven-year marriage so far mean kowtowing to her husband’s every demand? Even his gambling habit?

“I don’t know how or why it works as well as it does,”

Jennifer reveals to InStyle magazine.

“We both know we couldn’t do what we do without each other. Ben always says, ‘If you love it, we can make it happen.’ He knows when to swoop in with the gesture…he’s sweet that way. Honestly, I would do anything for that man, because I know it’s not taken for granted.”

So that’s how Ben does it…that romantic devil. No wonder she turns a blind eye on his high stakes poker games. Better than cheating on her, don’t you think?

Don’t you girls wish you had a man you’d want to do anything for, too?

Jennifer admitted she always found the first trimester difficult, but she didn’t take into account how large her bottom would become, particularly in the eyes of her oldest child, Violet .

“You know how once you have kids you never pee by yourself again? They’re always, at least one of them is always in there with you at all times. So, the other day, I had on a dress, and my daughter was in there with me, and all of a sudden, she went, ‘Gasp! Mom, we have to have a talk.’ “

Jennifer revealed on “The Ellen de Generes” show.

“‘Mom your bottom has gotten so big that your panties don’t even begin to cover it.’”

Violet exclaimed in a horrified whisper.

“It’s called a thong, you wear it when you’re a grown up,”

her mom explained, to which Violet responded:

“Gross.”

And have you seen a pregnant woman in a thong lately who just wants to feel sexy despite her condition? Don’t tell Violet…

The “Arthur” actress has long been a Pink Party supporter, but this is the first time she’s taken the hosting reigns. That she’s accessorized with her loose but flirty red shift and her unborn child made her look even more adorable than usual. Celebrity gossip websites are now placing their bets as to whether Jennifer finally has a boy after having two girls with husband, Ben Affleck.

Red is definitely the color of celebration.

Wagers, anyone?

This news came after Jennifer‘s publicist denied she was infanticipating following a very revealing photo of the family where she was spotted sporting what suspiciously looked like a baby bump…

Current news recently received confirmation from Jen and Ben, who we think really have to make the effort to coordinate with their reps.

So will it be a boy this time? Baby number three will soon be joining sisters Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 2. And let’s hope Ben starts to curb his gambling addiction soon. Didn’t he last worked in 2010 with “The Town”?  It can be difficult to depend on your martial arts expert wife to put food on the table with another mouth joining the family soon…

We spotted the “Arthur” star, husband Ben Affleck, and daughters Violet and Seraphina at a farmer’s market where Garner wasn’t even wearing a loose top to cover what looked like either the results of too many whoppers, or Ben Affleck‘s female offspring-producing sperm.

This must be a very recent development, for didn’t she look supremely svelte in Arthur?

So…let’s see where the belly wobble leads us to, shall we?

Any idea? She’s a great mom spending lots of time with her kids, she’s got two beautiful girls… Mama is an Oscar winning actress!
It’s little Violet Affleck’s mama, Jennifer Garner! Little Violet doesn’t seem to be in the best of modes these days. The little didn’t look like she was to thrilled to be at soccer practice earlier this morning at a local Los Angeles park. Daddy, Ben Affleck has been out of town on the set of his latest film “Oklahoma.”

I think using a belt might help, what do you think?

Besides being a successful actress, Garner is a devoted mother to her two young daughters: Violet and Seraphina. Jen was once married to Scott Foley whom she met on the set of Felicity, the marriage ended in a divorce. Garner started dating her Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck in 2004, the couple married in the early summer of 2005 and have two beautiful daughters together.

Did you know Garner grew up in a very conservative family where she was not allowed to pierce her ears until she was 16? Growing up Jen was going to church every Sunday; she didn’t wear any make up or a bikini.

Jen later joked about her strict upbringing which made her family “just a step away from being Amish.”

Methinks litte discipline goes a long way for kids!

Birth name: Jennifer Garner;  Birth date: born April 17, 1972 in Houston, Texas; Zodiac Sign: Aries; Height: 5′ 8

Among the advice given:

“Jen told Jess to calm things down, and remind Justin what attracted her to him in the first place.”

Among Jen’s Tips:
• Play hard to get by being less available.
• Limit phone calls when they’re apart.

Sounds about right. That power point presentation is about what every women’s magazine tells females each month. Tell Jessica to pick up an issue of Cosmo.

Ben and Jennifer L were together long enough to make a bomb movie. The luckily he smartened up and moved to Jennifer Garner. Who must not be a career booster either, since Ben is still floundering somewhere. From Contact Music:

Affleck is adamant he should never have got involved in the first place – because the publicity surrounding their romance tainted his career.

He says, “I was no longer in control of my life. I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn’t. I got lost. I felt suffocated, miserable and gross. I should never have gone down that route or got sucked in to all the publicity.

So, how do you say oops? Ben at least is mature enough to talk about it without slamming Jennifer too much. A little, but not bad.

more Jennifer and Kevin photos after the hop…

Kevin Smith blew off steam by playfully jabbing Ben Affleck in front of Garner. She got so upset she threatened to kick his ass, he said. Smith via The New York Daily News said:

Jennifer does not share the same sense of humor as me — she did not like my jokes,” Smith said during the “Silent Bob Speaks” chat at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday night. “I was picking on [Jen’s husband] Ben Affleck and making fun of him because I’ve known him for a really long time — I was talking smack — and Jennifer goes, ‘You know, if you keep saying stuff about him, I’m going to kick your a—…

According to Smith, Ben Affleck is the dirtiest birdy of them all.

I remember talking to Ben and being like, ‘I know your lady is not finding me amusing. Ben, I’ve known you for years, and you are far sicker than I am!’ His jokes are way dirtier than mine. He’s made jokes to me, and I’ve been like, ‘Ben, you need to go to church.’”

Jennifer has said before she doesn’t like being followed around all the time. And she has called the cops before on people following her too closely. Now parents from the same school are taking steps. From KTLA:

City officials have received letters from thirty parents complaining about the nuisance caused by the paparazzi.

In the letters, the parents say the cameras have increased congestion on the street, the paparazzi drive recklessly in the neighborhood and photographers create a scene that is frightening to their children. At least one family said they were verbally assaulted by one of the photographers.

“We’ve seen parents get lenses in their face where literally it knocks them over,” parent Geoffrey Blake told KTLA.

Mary Hartzeil, the director of the nursery school says that the school has had famous parents for years, but the situation has gotten worse lately.

Are the paparazzi that desperate for a picture of Violet? Come on, what can she possibly do that we need to see her day after day? Give them a break!

More pictures after the jump…

How many times have we seen pictures of Violet being picked up from school and pictures of Violet being dropped off to school? Tons. Is it really that interesting? No. From the Vancouver Sun:

Once, at an earlier stage in her acting career, she didn’t much worry about being recognized in public.
“Now, it’s worse because of the entire world of tabloid journalism,” she says bluntly.

Which is why getting daughter Violet Anne to school each morning has turned into a nightmare for Garner and husband Ben Affleck.

“To call it a ‘problem’ is the hugest understatement in the world,” she says passionately. “There are no laws protecting children. They have no right to privacy. Because my husband and I are public figures, it is assumed that our daughters are public figures, and there’s nothing to protect them.”

Suri Cruise has the same problem, as do or the Jolie Pitt children will have too. What do other celebrity children do? Are they stuck at home or does it go in phases who is hot and captured on film? We haven’t seen the Beckham children in a while, and they used to be the #1 draw. Maybe the paps will get bored of Violet and leave her alone for a few years.

According to sources, Jennifer has a hard time keeping up with Ben‘s need for “attention.”

“Jennifer has had some ups and downs with Ben, and she likes to check in with Dr. Hein once in a while,” says a source. “They talk tips on keeping the romance alive and dealing with Ben’s need for attention. Ben’s great, but he can be very insecure. He likes Jen to play the devoted wife all the time,” the source explains.

This is most definitely why he and J.Lo didn’t last too long…

Dear God, give me wisdon and tell me that didn’t happen to me!

Garner is often described as “Wholesome” and “Un-Hollywood” by the press. We can so see that, can’t we? Any chick flick lovers out there? Garner is co-starring with Matthew McConaughey in a new romantic comedy ‘Ghosts of Girlfriends Past’, coming to theaters May 1.

As for hobbies, Garner enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing and she’s close friends of Reese Witherspoon. 2 very wholesome persons together!

More pictures after the baby name generator…

Jennifer and Ben named the baby….Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck. That’s quite a mouthful.  Do you think Violet had a hand in picking out part of the baby’s name?  Says Popsugar:

Ben Affleck brought his mom along to pick up Violet from school yesterday. A week ago we got the news that Jennifer Garner had given birth to a baby girl, and today we finally have her name — Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.

I guess it’s a big deal they didn’t release the name right away.  But considering the fact that she waited until she was over five months pregnant to confirm the pregnancy, waiting a week for a name isn’t so bad!

Did anybody pick Rose?  I never would have guessed Seraphina in a million years.

More pictures after the contraction….

Jennifer only announced she was pregnant back in August, so we didn’t have to wait too long this time for baby news!  The only problem is that she and Ben have not released any details as of yet.  According to People Magazine:

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl.”

The baby was born Tuesday in Los Angeles. No other details were immediately available.

What do you think they named the baby?  Pansy? Tulip? Lilac? Leave your best guess in the comments…

Garner says via TMZ:

Burky has shown up at her home and said, “God has sent him a vision of her being persecuted in some manner that may result in her death.”

The LAPD take it seriously too and have Burky locked up in a 5150 hold right now.  Jennifer fears for her safety and that of her child Violet and her unborn baby.  How scary to think that you have to always look over your shoulder in case a whacko is out.  Do you think he should go to jail?

In what seems to be a big baby news day, Jennifer confirmed to Access Hollywood in an interview that she and hubby Ben Affleck are indeed pregnant again. Baby #2 will be born sometime in the early winter. Jennifer went on to add that she is thrilled and elated to be pregnant again.

Her and Ben had a fun time watching the news and giggling over speculation on her expanding stomach. She wanted to announce the news when the time was right for them. And she didn’t give an exact due date, just an approximate!! Now we have to wait and watch and guess…again! Congratulations.

“Yes, she is,” Garber, who currently stars on ABC’s “Eli Stone,” told Usmagazine.com as reports by Fox News when asked if recent speculation was true that the couple is expecting.

A source also told Usmagazine.com, “She is five months pregnant. They are very happy.”

Jen and Ben are parents to 2-year-old daughter Violet.

Garner had hinted in October that she wanted to have another child. So there we go… Congratulations to the Afflecks!

More pics after the hop….

Jennifer has been photographed holding Violet – her two year old – in a way that blocks the belly.  But check out the picture that X17 caught of Jennifer’s profile.  Definitely a bump there!  And now the National Enquirer is reporting that she called friends before the July 4th holiday and said she was expecting baby #2. 

So much for the divorce rumors with husband Ben Affleck.  We go from divorcing to pregnant in the blink of an eye.  But pregnant is much happier news, so we’ll hope for that.  What do you think from the picture – pregnant or bloated?
