Jennifer Garner tours construction site of Brentwood home with daughter Seraphina, 12, and son Samuel, 9… after ex Ben Affleck helps Jennifer Lopez house hunt in LA

Her ex Ben Affleck was recently spotted touring multiple multimillion-dollar mansions in Los Angeles with his rekindled flame Jennifer Lopez.

But Jennifer Garner appears to be one step closer to upsizing her own living situation as she was seen scoping out a construction site in Brentwood on Friday.

The 49-year-old actress was joined by two of the three children she shares with Affleck at their soon-to-be home, which is just down the street from where they currently live.

Construction update: Jennifer Garner, 49, brought her son Samuel, nine, and daughter Seraphina, 12, on a tour of their new Brentwood home that’s nearing the end of construction on Friday

Garner had a huge smile on her face, while giving 12-year-old daughter Seraphina and nine-year-old son Samuel a grand tour of the property.

Being that they were amongst all the dirt and sawdust, the Alias star kept it casual in black sweatpants and a grey t-shirt with ‘hug a farmer’ written on the front of it.

She also donned a pair of black sneakers and wore her dark brown tresses long.

Seraphina strolled beside her mother and little brother in a pair of charcoal grey leggings and a black retro Boston Bruins Bobby Orr t-shirt, which is likely a homage to her father Ben and his hometown hockey team.

The younger of Garner’s two daughters also donned sandals over colorful socks and had a sweatshirt tied around her waist as she got the lay of the land.  

Samuel also went casual in grey sweatpants with a baby blue t-shirt and black sneakers. 

Samuel and Seraphina also have a 15-year-old sister Violet, who did not attend Friday’s construction update tour.

According to the New York Post, Garner bought the property in 2019 for nearly $7.9 million and then had the original four-bedroom abode, built back in 1930, torn down in order to build a brand new one from the ground up.

The Alias alum has been making pitstops to the property over the course of more than a year for in-person updates on the status of construction.

Garner and the kids had previously lived in a whopping 16,000 square foot home that sat on 3.1 acres lot in nearby Pacific Palisades when she was still married to Ben Affleck.

Following their split, which they announced in 2015, they sold the property to Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo for a reported $32 million. 

Shacking up? Ben was recently seen house hunting with girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, although a source told TMZ that Affleck was ‘just accompanying J Lo on her own hunt for a mega-mansion’ in Los Angeles and that they aren’t ‘aren’t ready to shack up together’; Ben and Jennifer pictured on July 3

In comparison, Garner’s new house is situated on 1/3 of an acre.  

Affleck, 48, purchased a 13,453 square foot mansion on a half acre of land in Pacific Palisades for just under $20 million in April 2018, six months before his divorce to Jennifer Garner was made official.

But just this week, the Oscar-winning writer and actor has been seen house hunting with girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, although a source told TMZ that Affleck was ‘just accompanying J Lo on her own hunt for a mega-mansion’ in Los Angeles and that they aren’t ‘aren’t ready to shack up together.’

Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance in April following the 51-year-old superstar’s split from fiance Alex Rodriguez. 

In the early 2000s, Ben and Jennifer had dated from 2002 until they called of their engagement in 2004.
