Keeping up on their parental duties, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted escorting their daughter Violet to preschool this morning (November 4).

The “Armageddon” stud and his “Alias” wife looked a bit tired as they hopped out of their SUV, then again, Jen was sporting an iced beverage from Starbucks to rectify her fatigue.

Jennifer Lopez, Affleck recently told press that their demise probably had something to do with the fact that they were so accessible to the media.

He revealed, “I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible. I don’t think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own.”

But on the bright side, if they hadn’t broken up, we wouldn’t have celebrity babies like Violet, Max, and Emme to coo over!
