There's no stopping Jennifer Garner's parents when they set their minds. In an appearance on a Thursday, March 19, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: At Home Edition, the actress shared how her folks, William and Patricia Garner, aren't exactly adhering to the safety guidelines during the coronavirus outbreak.

Garner's Parents: "Stay Home" Just Isn't Happening

Jen, known for her humor and candor, joked with Jimmy Fallon, 45, about the challenge of keeping her parents safe. "The hardest group to manage right now? Teens, early 20s, and let's be honest—my parents," she quipped. "I’m like, 'Dad, Mom, the entire world is shutting down to protect you!' And they’re like, 'We're planning a trip to Sam's Warehouse.' It's frustrating, but I keep reminding them—stay home, it's crucial!"

Garner's Kids: Practicing Social Distancing, Learning Life Skills

While dealing with her parents is challenging, Jennifer mentioned that her children—Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 8, whom she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck—are adapting well to the situation. "Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for better timing with my kids' ages," she said with a laugh. "They’re old enough to understand what’s going on and have meaningful conversations. We’ve even started learning practical skills like using a vacuum cleaner. But they’re not so grown-up that they’re just disregarding the rules entirely. It's a delicate balance!"

A Collaborative Effort to Feed Families

Jennifer's focus isn't solely on her own family. The Alias star has teamed up with Amy Adams to help feed kids who are stuck at home due to school closures. In a heartfelt Instagram post from Monday, March 16, Amy detailed their initiative, SAVEWITHSTORIES, which aims to support children affected by the outbreak. "We’re bringing the community together to support Save the Children and Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry," Amy explained. "Our goal is to ensure that families know where to find meals, support mobile meal trucks, food banks, and community feeding programs." It's a commendable effort that highlights the importance of coming together during tough times.
