Actresses Jennifer Garner and Sheryl Lee Ralph recently connected on Variety's "Actors on Actors" series, finding common ground in their experiences as mothers navigating Hollywood and the complexities of divorce. Ralph initiated the conversation, observing their shared commitment to maintaining normalcy despite their fame and their deep love for their children.

Garner, who has three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck, echoed Ralph's sentiments, emphasizing the joys and challenges of parenting. Ralph, a mother of two with ex-husband Eric Maurice, commended both herself and Garner for prioritizing healthy relationships with their former spouses for the well-being of their kids, acknowledging the added pressure of constant public scrutiny.

This mutual support culminated in a celebratory fist bump, symbolizing their ongoing efforts in co-parenting. Garner, known for her dedication to shielding her children from excessive media attention, recently opened up about the difficulties of early motherhood in an interview with Allure. She candidly described herself as a "nightmare" first-time parent, constantly hovering over her eldest daughter, Violet. However, she expressed confidence in her children's ability to develop into well-rounded individuals despite the pressures of growing up in the public eye.

Garner also revealed the impact of relentless paparazzi attention following the birth of Violet, describing how it made everyday conversations challenging for two decades. She emphasized that the paparazzi's constant pursuit of the "next sellable moment" rushed her through significant life experiences. To cope with the intense scrutiny, Garner avoids reading about herself in the media, limiting her news consumption to a select few publications.
