Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner isn't afraid to show some emotion as she uploaded a series of images of herself sobbing throughout the weekend of her daughter's high school graduation.

On Monday, May 20, the 52-year-old actress took to her Instagram page with four photos and one short video documenting, presumably, not all but at least some of the tears she shed as her lookalike daughter Violet marked a major milestone.

The first two images showed the 13 Going on 30 star at what appeared to be the ceremony, crying her eyes out. A third image and subsequent video caught her shedding a few more tears on the plane while she posed for the last photo wearing a pair of "2024" sunglasses in an attempt to hide her ongoing wails.

"Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate. 🎓," she joked in the caption. "(bless our hearts 🥺♥️🤣)," she added.

Garner shares her 18-year-old high school graduate with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. Violet is the eldest of the former couple's three kids, meaning the award-winning actress will likely become overwhelmed with emotion in the coming years, as 15-year-old Seraphina and 12-year-old Samuel will also walk across that stage in the near future.

But the Alias actress isn't the only one to feel deeply, as many fans and even fellow Hollywood stars admitted that they, too, struggled to keep the tears from rolling.

"Oh honey ... I know. 😢 ❤️," Reese Witherspoon wrote. "You have done a great job , mama! I will be here for support and lots of hugs."

"It’s a deep, searing pain/joy/grief/pride/mourning!!!" exclaimed The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond. "😊 Congratulations!"

"I’m sooooo with you ❤️‍🩹," added Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ina Garten also showed some support, cheering, "Sending you love!!! ❤️❤️❤️."

"I will be exactly this 😂😭," Jenna Dewan confessed.

Congrats on the big achievement, Violet!
