Jennifer Garner holds hands with daughter Seraphina as they celebrate a school milestone

Jennifer Garner and ex-husband Ben Affleck’s baby girl is growing up!

The former couple’s 12-year-old daughter Seraphina is preparing for junior high school, after graduating from the sixth grade earlier this week.

And to celebrate the milestone, Jennifer enjoyed some one-on-one time with Seraphina in the Santa Monica neighborhood of Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

Quality time: Jennifer Garner took her daughter Seraphina Affleck, 12, out for a healthy sweet treat in the Santa Monica neighborhood of Los Angeles on Saturday

The pair were spotted holding hands as they made their way to a shoppe to pick up a few smoothies.

Garner, 49, kept it casual in the fashion department in black leggings with a classic white t-shirt, which she tied into a knot on the left and slightly tucked it in.

She also donned a pair of grey running sneakers and a matching baseball cap.

Along with dark sunglasses and an orange face mask over her mouth and nose, amid the still dangerous COVID-19 pandemic, the mother of three looked nearly unrecognizable as she made her way around town.

Seraphina looked super cute in a grey tank romper, that tied around the waist with a built-in string belt, and black sneakers.

She had her brown tresses stylishly cut short with a part on the right.   

The duo wasted little time in purchasing a few dark-berry smoothies and headed out of the shoppe and back towards their parked vehicle. Garner even painted the back window of the car to congratulate her daughter’s latest school milestone.  

While standing side-by-side, Seraphina looked just a few inches shorter than her mother’s 5ft8in frame.

Garner and Affleck are also the proud parents of daughter Violet, 15, and son Samuel, nine.

The former couple, who wed in 2005 and split a decade later, would eventually have their divorce finalized in October 2018. But they have made it a point to remain friendly and united on the parental front for the sake of their children.

As for dating: Garner is reportedly back with John Miller following their split last summer after two years together, while Affleck has been making headlines for his renewed romance with former fiancée Jennifer Lopez over the last couple of months.

On the horizon: Seraphina is now looking forward to junior high school
