Jennifer Garner Opens Up About Third Pregnancy, Baby Names -- and Thongs!
Violet, Seraphina and...Daisy Duck?
Expecting her third child with husband Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner opens up for the first time about her pregnancy -- and its pitfalls -- on Tuesday's Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"The first trimester is just yuck," the Arthur actress, 39, tells Ellen DeGeneres. "Kind of an all day sickness."

"But after that, [this pregnancy] is not a big thing except there is one big thing," Garner says, "And that is, my bottom."
Explains the star: "You know how once you have kids you never ever pee by yourself again? At least one of them is always in there with you at all times."

Married for five years, Garner and Affleck, 39, have daughters Violet, 4, and Seraphina, 2; they confirmed they were expecting again in late August. "So the other day... [Violet] is in there with me and all of the sudden she went, Oh Mom, we have to have a talk...She said, 'Mom, your bottom has gotten so big that your panties don't even begin to cover it."
The Alias actress cleared up the confusion with her eldest: "I said, 'It's called a thong, you wear it when you're a grown up. She was like, 'Uh, that is so gross!"

Meanwhile, Violet and her little sister Seraphina "have a lot of opinions" on their sibling-to-be, Garner says. "They don’t really care about the gender as much as long as we name it what they it to be named."
Some of the cuties' suggestions? "Ralphie, Frankie, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck. Rosemarie.. Daisy Duck Affleck. I can see us going that way," Garner cracked, laughing.

As for the Hollywood couple's own hopes for their baby-to-be's gender, "Obviously we'd be happy either way," Garner says. "It would be so weird to have a boy and cool and different. And I'm sure it would be fun for Ben he likes baseball and all that stuff. But a third girl, three girls is a great way to grow up." (Garner herself grew up with two sisters.)

For now, Affleck is content playing not baseball but "baby doll" with his little girls. "My husband plays a lot of baby doll. He is really cute," Garner gushes. "I will walk in and he will be sitting on a little chair. He's so tall! And he'll have a baby doll and I'll say, 'What are you doing?' 'I'm watching Frankie (the baby doll) here."
Tell Us What You Think
19courtney suck it
Courtney get a grip Jennifer said she went to the bathroom and her daughter told her Mommy your bottom was getting big and she laughed because she had on a thong,,,please read the above and you can also go to the ellen show to get it from her mouth on tape. Courtney I dont think anyone really cares how much knowledge you have of movie stars but girlfriend you really need to get a grip.
The thong is just the cutest story , and Jenifer and Ben apear to be a great couple and down to earth .
Courtney, it's obvious you are no oscar winner. Gezz, relax.
Love the thong story. I think Courtney's comments are way off track. First, Ms. Garner is quoted from an on-air interview. There was no invasion of privacy here. She told a cute story about one of her daughters. She chose to tell this story and I find her lack of pretense refreshing. Additionally what on Earth has Patricia Neal's babies to do with anything? I know she is one of your favorites but that is neither here nor there. Focus.
I love this woman, they seem like such a loving and amazing family. I wish her all the best of luck.

Courtney; she was not laughing at the prospect of naming a daughter "Daisy." She was laughing about the "Daisy Duck" comment. If you're going to go off on a tangent, at the very least make sure that you are fulling comprehending what you've read first.
get a life filomena
Courtney, I mean no disrespect, but your comments have been getting more and more extraneous as of late. This is not the first time you have gone off on a tangent that you seem to find meaningful but has nothing to do with the light-hearted story. Is something going on with you? Again, I am coming from a place of concern for your well-being.
Jennifer Garner is such a DORK!!!!
@Claudia Oscar winners don't say stupid crap like this and used to get privacy to raise their kids which is what I meant by that previous comment so get off my back will ya and I mentioned the particular oscar winner I did because she's been a favorite actress of mine since I was a young child
so what does a oscar winner got to do with baby courtney.
she is so cute.
oh and seraphina is almost 3 but at least you got the age right on that one lol.
they just reached their 6yr mark i guess you can say this past june and violet anne is 5 and will not be 6 until december so yea us wkly need to get facts straight.
Um US magazine you're idiots again Ben & Jen have been Married 6 years Violet will be 6 december 1st and Serephina will be 3 in January and by the way what's so bad about the name Daisy which is quite common in hollywood actually Daisy Fuentes and Daisy Bevan come to mind besides floral names have always be popular for girls. gender of a child is a 50/50 shot every time they could very well end up with a boy this time as Patricia Neal did from her 3rd live birth pregnancy in 1960 then she had two more girls May 12th 1964 and August 4th 1965 at Jens age after surviving a series of strokes while she was pregnant of course she was an oscar winner Jen Garner isn't
I Think Her Name Will Be Daisy Duck Affleck Since She When She's A Big Kid Like Violet And Seraphina Rose She Will Have Brunette Hair, And Brown Eyes And She Will Look Just Like Jennifer Garner When She Was A Litttle Girl
so cute! The thong story is the best- super funny!
