On Ben Affleck’s birthday, Jennifer Garner proves she’s living her best life

Ben Affleck’s ex Jennifer Garner shared a recap of her recent “dream trip” to Japan in a post on his 52nd birthday.

Jennifer Garner has a ramen-tic message to share with fans on Ben Affleck’s birthday.

The 13 Going On 30 took to Instagram on Aug. 15—which also happened to be her ex-husband’s 52nd birthday—to celebrate a different kind of milestone: her recent vacation to Asia.

Garner uploaded a gallery of photos showing her “dream trip to Japan,” as she called it, and provided a checklist of all the memories she made, including visits to the Tenryu-ji Temple and the Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion, both located in Kyoto.

In the pics, Garner—who shares kids Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15 and Samuel, 12, with Affleck—can be seen on a boat at sunset with windswept hair, sunglasses and a smile while holding a glass of champagne.

In another photo, she posed in the middle of a busy walkway wearing a blue tee, shorts and tennis shoes while flashing two peace signs.

And despite being a “former picky eater,” the Alias actress embraced the local cuisine in Japan. One pic showed her with her hair pulled back and wearing a plastic bib, smiling while eating a bowl of ramen—but the soup wasn’t the only local delicacy she tried.
