Jennifer Garner has recently been buzzing about keeping her teens off social media.
Every parent knows the challenge of keeping their children away from their electronic devices. It starts from their childhood years and continues into their media-obsessed teens with TikTok, Instagram and their favorites.
A celebrity mother has found vulnerability and put her foot down with her children, and now she’s talking about it. The “Alias” star joined the “TODAY” show to explain her tactics for keeping her kids offline.
Jennifer Garner Reveals How She Keeps Her Teens Off The Internet
On Tuesday, the star of the upcoming Apple TV+ series “The Last Thing He Told Me” spoke with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on TODAY April 11 about how she keeps her kids offline.
When asked by the host to explain how she separates her children from social media without facing any hate or backlash from them, Garner said, “I just say to my kids, ‘Show me an article that proves that social media is good for teenagers, and then we’ll have a conversation.”

The mother of three added that she told them to “find scientific evidence that matches what I have that says it’s not good for teenagers, then we’ll have a conversation.” The “Dallas Buyers Club” actor was then asked how his children felt about his decision. She revealed that her eldest daughter, Violet, 17, values boundaries.
However, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 11, have started to push back a little on the decision when they asked to create a social media account. He continued, “My eldest son is grateful; it is a long distance. I have a few more to go, so knock on wood. We’ll see if I last there.”
The 50-year-old said his children have access to “all kinds of things online, but they don’t have social media accounts. Just because they don’t have a social media account doesn’t mean they’re not interacting with what’s on Instagram, TikTok, and all that stuff.”
Garner and her ex Ben Affleck are now co-parents to their children, having separated in 2015 and moved on to another couple. However, for their children, they are consistent with their privacy choices.
PEOPLE chronicles how famous parents try to keep their children out of the limelight. In 2013, the doting mother joined a group of celebrity parents led by Halle Berry to pass a bill banning unauthorized paparazzi photos of children. Additionally, she decided to keep her children off social media, saying she doesn’t “see anything positive” for them in it.
“The Adams Project” shares how she became proactive and communicative with her children to help navigate the negative press attention surrounding her family. “I’ll tell them, ‘If you see the image on the front of the magazine, I’ll see it with you,’ and we’ll process all the scary feelings that come up together.”
The father is only interested in what his children think about him. The “Good Will Hunting” actor spoke to Good Morning America in December 2021, “I’m going to be dead a long time, and someone is going to ask my kids, ‘How’s your dad?’ and that’s when I’ll know my life is worth it.”
He stated that being with his children led him to start his production company, Artists Equity, in Los Angeles. “One of the reasons I did it was that I was divorced. I share custody. I don’t want to go to Austin, New Orleans and Georgia anymore and not see my kids.”
‘Peppermint’ Star Says She Avoids News About Her Family Online
The Blast recently stated that the “Love, Simon” actress works hard to avoid seeing any news about herself or her ex-husband. She said, “I work hard not to see either of us in the press. It doesn’t make me feel good, even if it’s something good about one of us.”
Garner shared that she forgot that she or anyone she loved was “out there in any way.” Saying, “I don’t need to see anyone in my family being made into a meme.” When asked if he’s seen any of Affleck’s viral memes online, the actor said no but joked that his ex was “kinda meme-worthy” because of his “resting face that looks so unhappy.”
