Rachel Accurso, better known as children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel, is continuing to be a voice for the children of Gaza.
Ben Affleck’s kids are the highlight of his life — and he has the perfect partner to raise them with.
The 53-year-old actor and filmmaker, whose production company, Artists Equity, produced “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” opened up about co-parenting with Jennifer Garner at the film’s New York City premiere.
“I could not be more proud of my children. I can’t even tell you,” Affleck said in an interview with “Access Hollywood.”
When asked about his eldest child Violet’s recent speech at the United Nations, Affleck sent all the credit to Garner before gushing over his life as a father of three.
“She takes after her mom. She’s spectacular," he added in the interview.
"And I’m very lucky that I’ve got a great partner and that we got great kids. It’s the joy of my life and I’m just very, very lucky. And it makes me happy every day,” he concluded.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner first met on the set of “Pearl Harbor” in 2000, according to People.

The former couple started dating in 2004 — one year after starring in “Daredevil” together — followed by the engagement, marriage and first pregnancy reveal, all of which happened in 2005.
Their first daughter, Violet, was born on Dec. 1, 2005, followed by their second daughter Seraphina on Jan. 6, 2009 and son Samuel on Feb. 27, 2012, per People.
Garner and Affleck were married for 10 years before announcing their split in 2015. The divorce was finalized three years later.

Violet, who attends Yale University, per CBS News, isn’t afraid to speak up for what she believes in.
In a 2021 cover story for “The Hollywood Reporter,” Garner recalled a time when Violet — who was still in kindergarten at the time — stood up on a chair and blasted the paparazzi for their erratic behavior.
“She stood up on a chair in a little velvet dress, with her hair a bit back and her glasses on and she didn’t say her R’s right, and she said: ‘We didn’t ask for this,’” Garner recalled.
Violet continued: “We don’t want these cameras, they’re scary. The men are scary, they knock each other over and it’s hard to feel like a kid when you’re being chased.”

Now nearly 15 years later, Violet is still speaking her mind — albeit on a much larger scale.
In July 2024, the then-18-year-old advocated for mask availability and free COVID-19 testing while opposing mask bans during a speech in front of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.
“I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical facilities,” she said, per Today.com.
On May 18, Violet published an academic paper in the Global Health Review that explored the United States’ response to the tragic wildfires that swept through Los Angeles in January.
“I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room,” she began the essay.
According to Violet, her mom was “shell-shocked” and “astonished” at the destruction the wildfires caused in the Los Angeles area, where Garner raises her three kids.
“I was surprised at her surprise,” Violet Affleck admitted in the essay.
“As a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when,” she added of the wildfires.
More recently, on Sept. 23, Violet stood in front of the United Nations in support of clean air and masking to prevent the transmission of long COVID-19.

"We are told by leaders across the board that we are the future," she said in the speech, per People. "But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes."
