Let’s talk about heartfelt gestures. On Sunday, May 12, Ben Affleck took to Instagram to celebrate not just one, but two extraordinary women in his life—his ex-wife and the mother of his three children, Jennifer Garner, and his own mom, Christine Anne Boldt. Talk about spreading the love!
In a touching post, the 46-year-old actor shared a photo of Jennifer and his mom laughing side by side. "Happy Mother’s Day to the two incredible mothers who have shown me the meaning of love," Ben wrote in the caption. But here’s the kicker—he didn’t stop at just words. He announced that he would be making donations to two organizations in their honor. Now that’s what I call putting your money where your mouth is.
Two Incredible Causes Worth Celebrating
Ben didn’t just stop at honoring his mom and Jennifer with kind words; he also put his money toward causes close to his heart. First up, he mentioned the "@cut50’s #DignityForIncarceratedWomen campaign." This national initiative aims to reduce the prison population while ensuring communities stay safe. It’s all about creating a fairer and more just system for everyone involved. Talk about making a difference!

Fans React With Love and Admiration
It’s no surprise that Ben’s thoughtful post resonated with his fans. One commenter wrote, “Thoughtful and kind words to the mothers in your life and generous actions. Respect.” Another fan chimed in, saying, “A son, a father, and a philanthropist. You have a beautiful heart and soul. Keep shining.” It’s clear that people appreciate not only Ben’s words but also his actions.
A Legacy of Love and Respect
Ben and Jennifer, also 46, were married from 2005 to 2018. Together, they raised three beautiful kids—Violet, 13, Seraphina, 10, and Samuel, 7. Even though their marriage came to an end, Ben has always spoken highly of Jennifer as both a mother and a co-parent.
