Following Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's sweet reunion last week, fans have been blown away by the appearance of the former couple's eldest daughter Violet.
Despite Affleck and Garner having gone their separate ways in 2015 after 10 years of marriage, the pair have always boasted a close-knit relationship - especially when it comes to co-parenting their three children.
Along with daughters, Violet and Seraphina, 18 and 15, and son Samuel, 12, the ex-couple frequently holidayed together after their split, and following Affleck's alcohol-induced rehab stint in 2020, Garner, now 52, was regularly seen supporting her former flame.

Last week, the Affleck-Garner family were spotted enjoying a festive Thanksgiving reunion - just months after the Gone Girl actor's divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
Fans heaped praise onto the pair for their ability to work closely alongside one another, as they attended an event for homeless shelter The Midnight Mission, which aims to serve thousands of free meals to the unhoused community in the Skid Row area each year.
"This is beautiful, I like seeing Jen and Ben doing something special together! Great way to spend your Thanksgiving!" one fan gushed.
And interestingly, the heartwarming reunion has drawn attention to the children the duo share, specifically their eldest daughter Violet, who has been in the spotlight more and more in recent weeks.
She spoke before the LA County Board of Supervisors back in July about the importance of keeping face masks mandatory in several government facilities.
And last month, fans were surprised when her Jennifer's sister, Lynda Lopez, shared a snap alongside Violet, prompting countless viewers to comment on just how much she looks like her mother, 13 Going On 30 star Garner.
This isn't the first time that the mother-daughter similarities have trended online.
"Ben Affleck’s daughter is LITERALLY her mother’s (Jennifer Garner) twin," one recently wrote on social media. "Like I know kids will look like their parents but what role did Ben’s DNA play if any?"
Another joked about Violet's lack of resemblance to her 52-year-old father, asking: "What did you contribute Ben???!!!!!"
"You know you did no work when your kids dimple is in the exact same spot as your spouse like wow y'all really cut me out of the equation," a third noted.
And earlier this year, when Affleck brought his daughter along to a party held by billionaire CEO Michael Rubin, others couldn't believe Violet wasn't her mum.
"I think we can all agree that’s Jennifer Garner, totally posing as her daughter," one teased.
Others seemed genuinely confused" "Is this Jennifer Garner or her and Ben Affleck’s daughter?"
Another confused viewer confessed: "I thought this was Jen I was so confused."
