Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s Teen Child Seraphina Reveals New Name Fin at Grandfather’s Funeral

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s 15-year-old child, formerly known as Seraphina Rose, has announced their new name as Fin during Jennifer Garner’s father’s memorial service. 

This event took place on March 30, where Fin made the announcement while speaking at the funeral. They introduced themself with the updated moniker and read a Bible verse during the service, all while wearing a suit and tie with a new buzzcut hairstyle. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have not publicly commented on their teenager’s gender identity, but this change marks a significant moment in their child’s life.

This decision was made public by Fin themselves, and it reflects a time of self-discovery and individuation common among teenagers. Jennifer and Ben have three children together, with Violet being the oldest, followed by Seraphina, now Fin, and Samuel being the youngest. The couple divorced in 2015 but have maintained a cooperative relationship in raising their children.

In addition to the 15-year-old, Ben, 51, and Jennifer, 51, also share daughter Violet Affleck and son Samuel Affleck. The exes’ divorce was finalized in 2018 but they have maintained an amicable coparenting relationship for their three children.

The actor is now married to Jennifer Lopez, who shares twins Max and Emme with her ex Marc Anthony. In 2022, J.Lo, 54, was performing a concert in Los Angeles and confirmed that Emme now uses gender-neutral pronouns.

While asking Emme, 16, to join her on stage, Jennifer told the crowd, “I ask them to sing with me all the time but they won’t, so this is a very special occasion, because they’re very, very busy and booked and pricey. They cost me when they come out. They’re worth every single penny because they’re my favorite duet partner of all time. So if you would indulge me.”

“We moved in together,” she said during the Today show interview, which took place six months after she married the Argo star. “The kids moved in together. It’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition, but at the same time, all your dreams are coming true. And it’s just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year, I think, since my kids were born.”

However, in a separate interview, she acknowledged that raising five kids in their preteens and teens was no easy feat. “The teenage years are tough,” she admitted. “They start challenging you and everything. You have this baby for a while and then it’s, like, your best little friend who loves being with you all the time. And all of a sudden, they’re like, ‘Get out of my room.’”
