Jennifer Garner and her personal life

In 1990, Jennifer Garner graduated from George Washington High School in Charleston, where she played the saxophone. Jennifer Garner then enrolled at Denison University to study chemistry. Upon realizing that she enjoyed stage acting more than science, Jennifer Garner changed her major to drama. While at Denison, Jennifer Garner was initiated into the sorority Pi Beta Phi. Jennifer Garner graduated from Denison in 1994 and continued her drama education at the National Theater Institute where she was trained by fight choreographer David Chandler, and told she was a natural in stage combat. Keen for immediate experience, she visited her friend, Clayton Kirlew, in New York City in 1995 and decided to take her chances in New York theatre.

On October 19, 2000, Jennifer Garner married actor Scott Foley, whom she met on the set of Felicity in 1998. After separating from Foley in March 2003, Jennifer Garner filed for divorce in May 2003, citing irreconcilable differences. Dismissing rumors of infidelity, Foley stated that the reason behind their separation was Jennifer Garner's increasing fame after the success of Alias. Similarly, Jennifer Garner claimed that their Hollywood lifestyle led to their failed marriage and they "really were victims of Hollywood." The two were officially divorced on March 30, 2004.

Jennifer Garner is known for being private about her personal life. This is reflected in her relationships with Michael Vartan and Ben Affleck. Over the course of her relationship with her Alias co-star Michael Vartan, she never made any public appearances with him and was late to confirm their relationship in August 2003. Jennifer Garner began dating Vartan in mid-2003, and though rumors of their break-up began in March 2004, Jennifer Garner only confirmed the end of their relationship in August 2004. However, they continue to be close friends.

Jennifer Garner's relationship with her Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck, which started in July 2004, was also very low-key. It was months into their relationship before a paparazzo managed to take a shot of these two as a couple. Both stars' publicists denied their relationship until a public appearance at a Boston Red Sox game. When there were rumours of Jennifer Garner being pregnant, there were repeated denials of the pregnancy. On Jennifer Garner's 33rd birthday, Affleck proposed to her with a 4.5 carat (900 mg) diamond ring from Harry Winston[19] and the couple married on June 29, 2005 in a surprise ceremony at the Parrot Cay resort on the Turks and Caicos Islands. Finally, their publicists confirmed the marriage and pregnancy. At the time, Jennifer Garner was pregnant with the couple's first child. Officiating at the ceremony was her Alias co-star Victor Garber. Her pregnancy was incorporated into the plot of Alias, with the season's episode order reduced from the initial 22 to 17 in order to let Jennifer Garner go on maternity leave. On December 1, 2005 at 3:26 p.m. PST, she gave birth to their daughter, Violet Anne Affleck, in Los Angeles, California. They currently divide their time between Brentwood, Los Angeles, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts.[citation needed] She has a yellow Labrador Retriever named "Martha Stewart", which appeared with her on the television show "Martha" January 24, 2007.

Jennifer Garner enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby picked up during training for her Alias character). She is close friends with Reese Witherspoon and also close to actress Jean Louisa Kelly, who interviewed Jennifer Garner for the June 2005 issue of Self magazine.
