LOS ANGELES: Jennifer Garner’s nursery is abloom with more than Violet.

The Catch and Release star and hubby Ben Affleck have welcomed their second daughter, Affleck’s rep confirmed to E! News on January 6. Bennifer new addition joins 3-year-old sister Violet is in the running to be the most-photographed child of the 21st century.

No other details were available, but Garner’s rep said in a statement, “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl.”

Mum and dad were spotted walking into Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on December 31 and, considering Garner had looked so prominently pregnant for so long, it seemed as good a time as any for a birth day.

It wasn’t to be, apparently, so hopefully the former Alias heroine didn’t mind brandishing that bump for just a little longer. In the weeks leading up to the delivery, she was spotted having coffee with a pal in Santa Monica and ferrying Violet around the farmers market in Pacific Palisades, not far from her Brentwood home.

“She’s wonderful. She’s probably the best mother I’ve ever witnessed,” her adoring former Alias co-star, Victor Garber, told People in October, adding that the 36-year-old actress had “never been more beautiful.”

Garner sort-of-confirmed pregnancy rumours in August, telling Access Hollywood, “We’re so excited, obviously.”
