Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck Welcome Their Second Daughter!

January 6th, 2009

Jen and Ben have welcomed their second daughter!

Jen’s rep said: “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.

A smiling Jennifer was spotted being wheeled on a roll-away hospital bed as she was taken to her room. A blanket was draped over her, and it appeared that she was holding the baby. Shortly after, the hospital staff brought in a portable bassinet and heart monitor to check on the baby.

The baby girl joins big sister Violet, 3.

Former Alias costar and close friend Victor Garber recently said that Jen, 36, is an excellent mother.

“It’s her second child,” Victor Garber told People magazine. “She knows what to do. She’s probably the best mother I’ve ever witnessed.”

In June, Ben, 36, said, “We’re very happy. Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home.”

Awww…congratulations!

I wonder what name they will choose…Vivian, Iris, Victoria?

    Yes!!!!!! And it’ll be a normal name, no Bronx, Zuma, Harlow crap

  • 2. lisa  |  January 7th, 2009 at 12:32 am

    Violet is a nice old fashioned name… maybe Dorothy, Sarah or Catherine?

  • 3. anonymous  |  January 7th, 2009 at 12:55 am

    I like the name Eve.

  • 4. Josie  |  January 7th, 2009 at 2:54 am

    That’s awesome news! Congratulations to them! So many girls being born these days to people I know. I think I read somewhere that it has to do with the winter season and the female gender.

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

    They ‘jointly’ gave birth? Wow, I wonder if Ben had an epidural…

  • 6. Pregnancy Guide  |  January 7th, 2009 at 5:13 am

    Hmm,
    thats a good news,
    whats her name now

  • 7. Deb  |  January 7th, 2009 at 5:19 am

    Hmm, doubt Ben had much to do with the actual giving birth part…..

  • 8. Suzi  |  January 7th, 2009 at 6:10 am

    These 2 people are the most amazing and normal couple I have seen in a very long time. They are so perfect together and they are both amazing parents it seems. Their daughter, Violet, is ALWAYS smiling and happy and adorable.
    Congratulations to the new addition….
    Ben hand Jen look so happy and I am so glad they finally realized that they were meant to be together.
    He was so out of his element with the other Jen.
    Jenifer Garner is an amazing woman!

  • 9. Niloofar  |  January 7th, 2009 at 6:27 am

    Congratulations :)
    I suggest these names:

    Franak, Shahnaz, Saba, Nastaran, Golfam, Anahita, Atena, Rozita, Rojan, Dorsa…….

  • 10. Collette uk  |  January 7th, 2009 at 6:33 am

    Donya,Delaram,Samira,Arezoo,Nadia,Hasty…….

  • 12. accalia  |  January 7th, 2009 at 7:04 am

    Yay! Finally :)
    I love Jennifer Garner :) She seems like such a great mom and I think she is the most normal and down to earth celebrity there is! Congrats to her and Ben. I’m pretty sure their daughter would not have a too out of the ordinary name :) Violet Anne is sort of old fashioned, but those are common names. Violet is so adorable. Congrats again!

  • 13. Jem  |  January 7th, 2009 at 9:21 am

    Congrats to the whole family, if only the baby waited one more day! lol.

    *_*Happy Birthday to me*_*

  • 14. Aliciasweets85  |  January 7th, 2009 at 10:50 am

    awww, great…and i am sure the child will be just as hid30us as the other m0n5ter of a daughter they have. Man these two dont make the best gene combination for kids…

  • 15. claudiazz  |  January 7th, 2009 at 11:52 am

    I read where Ben is adamant about not naming their child some hideous made up “Hollyweird” name, so I look for their daughter to have a more traditional moniker.

  • 16. Joyfullymine  |  January 7th, 2009 at 12:44 pm

    Yay! Congrats to them! Violet is such a cutie…I can’t wait to hear the name of the new addition.

  • 17. catsue  |  January 7th, 2009 at 12:59 pm

    One of the few Hollywood couples you can’t say anything bad about! I love the name Violet. Hope they don’t come up with some horrible name like ALL the recent Hollywood ones- including Rebecca Romijn’s Charlie (for a girl?), Gwen Stefani’s two boys, Bronx, Sunday, and on and on!

  • 18. Niloofar  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:10 pm

    MEG: ( Damet garm)
    You’re suggestions are ecxelent :)
    but, can I know where are you from??? the names were Iranian!!!!

  • 19. Niloofar  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    Jem:

    Happy birthday to you,*** I hope , you have a great lifetime & enjoy it :)

  • 20. Kay  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:26 pm

    Congrats on your baby girl! In keeping with the flower theme, I think the names Iris or Lily would be pretty names.

  • 21. yayaya  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:30 pm

    these names: Veronica, Federica, Sabrina, Monica, Nickela, Nickta, Paula, Manuela, Ilery, Joya, etc

  • 22. Niloofar  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:32 pm

    I agree with Kay, I like IRIS.

  • 23. MOMX3  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:35 pm

    I agree with you Kay, I’d love to see an Iris or a Lily! That would be beautiful!

  • 24. Niloofar  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:44 pm

    اگه یه ایرونی الان اینجاست بهش سلام می کنم:)

  • 25. Jane  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:49 pm

    Congratulations! Can’t wait to see what she looks like!

  • 26. Val  |  January 7th, 2009 at 1:53 pm

    Victoria after their friend Victor Garber.

  • 27. Lauren  |  January 7th, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    Congratulations! I’m sure the newest Affleck will be just as cute as Violet. :)

  • 28. ELIE TAYLOR  |  January 7th, 2009 at 3:19 pm

    Thanks Baby Razzi for the extra info about Jen being wheeled to her room.. Guess a nurse must of said that
    about the bassinett and baby heart monitor…

  • 29. 2teens  |  January 7th, 2009 at 4:35 pm

    I like the name Daisy.

  • 30. meg  |  January 7th, 2009 at 5:06 pm

  • 31. Katrina  |  January 7th, 2009 at 5:44 pm

    awe a baby girl i was hoping a boy lol but a girl is so sweet

    i hope they chose a nice name like violets

    gracie marie affleck

  • 32. Anna  |  January 7th, 2009 at 5:54 pm

    Iris would be a BEAUTIFUL name! Especially with a big sister named Violet. Congrats to the whole family. They’re the most down to earth people in Hollywood. I mean seriously, when’s the last time you’ve seen any other celeb moms wearing jeans, an old sweatshirt, and tennis shoes? Every pic I’ve ever seen of Jennifer she’s been smiling, with her daughter. Again, congrats!

  • 33. Fennie  |  January 7th, 2009 at 6:39 pm

    Can´t wait to know the name!!!

  • 34. Greta  |  January 7th, 2009 at 8:25 pm

    how exciting! its nice that violet will have a little sister so close in age, i bet as a result (of being pretty close in age and sharing the same gender)…they will grow up with a close bond and be great friends! cant wait to hear the name!

  • 35. Racharoo!  |  January 7th, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    I would love the baby to be named any of the following:

    April
    Erin
    Elizabeth
    Cassandra
    Georgia
    Catherine
    Sophia
    Jasmine
    Meredith

    all of these sound very classic and sophisticated just like Violet’s name!!

  • 36. Rockstar Mama!  |  January 7th, 2009 at 10:32 pm

    Congrats Jen and Ben! This is my fav celeb couple because they are the most down to earth (it seems). I was hoping they would have a boy but I know Jen is happy to have another happy beautiful “mini-me” tagging along!
    :D

  • 37. Niloofar  |  January 8th, 2009 at 5:30 am

    HI LOLA :)
    hads zade boodam ke tooi!!! lol

    morvarid, hana, leyla, sanaz, soraya, and ava

    congrats ben and jen. they seem to be a wonderful family and i love how happy violet always looks.

  • 39. joueala  |  January 8th, 2009 at 9:53 am

    i wonder what the baby’s name is…maybe another color will do for her name..

  • 40. Breezy  |  January 8th, 2009 at 11:23 am

    Rose will be an appropriate name.

  • 41. anon  |  January 8th, 2009 at 2:57 pm

    Why are you all listing name suggestions? You could go on forever like that. They’ll pick what they pick.

  • 42. ick  |  January 9th, 2009 at 3:00 am

    enough with that hodgie crap!

  • 43. Niloofar  |  January 9th, 2009 at 4:43 am

    #38-mom of 2 girls:
    very nice names :) special AVA( it means melody,a beautiful song) :)

  • 44. Lurker  |  January 9th, 2009 at 11:40 am

    I don’t know what they’ll name her of course..but judging by Violet’s name, I’m relatively sure there’s a decent chance we’ll get another NORMAL kind of name out of their family..YAY!
    Violet is a different kind of name, but not completely unusual..good for them.

    Though I have to wonder why no other information has come out about the baby. I do hope everything is alright with her and the family.

  • 45. Rockstar Mama!  |  January 9th, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    Violet is different, but it’s a family name on Ben’s side.

  • 46. Freya  |  January 10th, 2009 at 1:46 am

    Another Garner girl! Now Ben really is outnumbered! lol. How sweet for Violet to be the big sister now. :) I agree with Greta- It is so nice for sisters to be close in age. It makes the bond that much closer for the rest of their lives. Sisters have such a precious relationship. <3

  • 49. Jordyn  |  January 10th, 2009 at 11:07 pm

    You guys are all disturbed!
    Heres the REAL theory on their choice for the name Violet!
    Being Violet looks EXACTLY like Victor Garber (Jens close and very Gay friend), what a coincidence that she chose a name that started with a V. Just a theory!

  • 50. fann  |  January 12th, 2009 at 7:59 pm

    i think they should name her Olga dats a beautiful name in my opinion what do u guys think

  • 51. Anne  |  January 13th, 2009 at 11:09 pm

    They named her Seraphina Elizabeth Rose Affleck (Sera)
    It is a Hebrew name and I believe Affleck and Garner are both Jewish names. Seraphina sounds like a cartoon character-not liking it at all.

  • 52. victoria  |  January 28th, 2009 at 10:35 am

    Ilovejen.congrats.i’m sure she would make a great mom.she’s really superb.
