Jennifer Garner’s Daughter, Fin, Sparks Heated Buzz with Her Look at 15 — Her Transformation Leaves People Speechless

Seraphina Affleck’s journey from infancy to adolescence has been both public and poignant. Born to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, her life has unfolded under the spotlight, offering a unique glimpse into the personal side of celebrity.

Over the years, Seraphina has not only been exposed to life in the limelight, she has experimented with her overall appearance, specifically her hair and clothes. She no longer wears dresses nowadays and has rocked short hair for a while.

As Seraphina navigates her teenage years, discussions around her experimenting with looks and her resemblance to her father have become focal points of interest.

On February 12, 2024, Seraphina was spotted walking the streets of West Hollywood. She debuted her new pink buzzcut look while wearing blue shorts, with a checkered shirt and a white t-shirt underneath.

Someone complimented her saying, “Cool style.” Another said, “I love her hair!” “Who cares? Let kids experiment with their looks.” Someone else stated, “[…] It’s completely normal for girls to want to experiment with typical boys clothing. 99.99% of the time, it means nothing.” One other individual echoed, “Youngsters like experimenting with their looks and it is all part of growing up.

One online user wrote, “Seraphina is not playing, she is just keeping it real and being true to herself, her mismatched socks always make me smile.” “Seraphina is a skateboarder. It’s just a phase,” said another.

“Just last year she was dressing like little house on the prairie now she’s dressing like JLo daughter. Teens , ya just never know,” someone commented. Another recalled, “If you remember Seraphina from 12 years ago – she was a little girl wearing pretty dresses and cute as a button.” “Seraphina always dressed like a female and had long brown hair,” one mentioned.

Other people have mentioned that Seraphina resembles her famous dad Ben. “Looks like her daddy,” said one person. Another online user said, “Goodness me, doesn’t she look like her Dad!” “She looks so much like Ben,” one other individual commented. “She looks so much like Ben here. Definitely a dad’s girl,” another said. Pictures of the teen’s current look are further down below.

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.”

After raising their child for a few years, the couple’s marriage fell apart when Seraphina was just 6. Jennifer and Ben announced their split in 2015. She filed for divorce in April 2017, when the couple’s daughter was 8.

It was finalized three years later, in 2018 and 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.” He publicly thanked his loved ones for standing by him.

Ben found love again years later after reuniting with his former flame. Seraphina and her siblings played special roles in their father’s wedding to Jennifer Lopez, with Seraphina holding Jennifer’s veil.

In addition, Seraphina’s 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 children’s growing years, stating, “My kids are funny and they’re smart, and they work really hard.” Jennifer also divulged in a September 2019 interview, that her kids have nicknames for her, such as “the dragon,” because she tends to say no.

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

Most recently, Seraphina revealed her new identity. She will now be known as Fin after announcing her new name at her late grandfather’s memorial service. The teen’s mother announced on April 1, 2024, that her father William Garner, 85, had died.

Jennifer penned a lengthy heartfelt tribute on Facebook alongside throwback pictures. The post read, “My dad passed peacefully Saturday afternoon. We were with him, singing Amazing Grace as he left us. […] We are grateful for Dad’s gentle demeanor and quiet strength.”

At the family patriarch’s memorial service, Jennifer’s child, who now uses pronouns they/them, delivered a speech. They first introduced themselves by their new name and read a bible verse to the congregation at Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, West Virginia.

It was the first time Fin went public with their new identity at the ceremony. While gracing the podium, Fin sported a black pantsuit with a buzz-cut hairstyle.

Following news of the new name, social media users took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared their thoughts. One person said it was inappropriate for Fin to reveal their new identity at the service.

“Using a funeral to attract attention. Shameful,” the individual penned. Others commented on Facebook, with one user writing, “This makes me very sad.” Another said, “That’s pretty sad.”

“So many confused kids in this world. Parents need to have more communication with their children, know who they are hanging out with and what they watch and listen to. So many Godless children,” wrote one person. Someone else expressed, “I would like to unseen this. So sad.”

Someone else criticized Jennifer and Ben’s parenting skills. “Bad parenting in action. Well done!” commented one Facebook user. Meanwhile, other people are accepting of Fin’s choice and the parents’ support.

One said, “Finn is loved by his parents, opinions don’t matter…love them, kids, every day every stage..” Another user stated, “Lots of happiness and good health Finn.” “Very proud parents. Respecting him and embracing him. Some can learn from this,” wrote another.

Jennifer once said in an interview that she tries to keep lines of communication open with her kids. This is to give them a safe space so that they can be honest about their feelings. “My kids are growing up saying, ‘I don’t know if I’ll someday marry a man, a woman. I don’t know.” Everything is open,” the loving parent divulged.

Jennifer’s ex Ben echoed the same sentiments in a separate interview, about teaching their children honesty when going through hard times. “I try to be honest with them and say the most important thing is to be open and honest about how you’re feeling and when you’re not feeling good,” said the family patriarch.
