Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Welcome Baby Boy!
Already the parents of two beautiful daughters, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are now the proud mom and dad of a beautiful baby boy as well! Congratulations!
The A-list couple, who got married back in 2005, have proven pretty skillfull at picking out pretty girl names, with Violet and Seraphina. The little boy's name?
Alas, mum's the word on the little guy's name for now. But he's here!
Jen and Ben with Violet, 6, last fall. Seraphina is 3.
"It would be so weird to have a boy," the actress told Ellen DeGeneres recently, but also said the experience would be absolutely "cool and different."
Affleck, in turn, said that the 3-against-1 female-to-male ratio in his house leaves him significantly outnumbered. Looks like he has a teammate at last!
"He knows when to swoop in with the gesture. He's sweet that way," the actress says of her husband. "Honestly, I would do anything for that man."
"I always know that it's not taken for granted."
Aww. Congrats again to the whole family!
UPDATE: "We are happy to announce on February 27, Jennifer gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Samuel Garner Affleck," Ben announced via Facebook.

Ben Affleck: What's His Best Look?
Ben Affleck has proven himself as an actor and as a director.
But what about as a bearded man and as a man who is cleanly shaven?
That's the question on tap for readers today, as the star is currently filming the movie Argo, which chronicles a life-and-death covert operation to rescue six Americans during the Iran hostage crises. Affleck's role didn't require him to shave. Lucky dog.
Wish Affleck well with his impending third baby and then vote on his looks below:
Jennifer Garner: Pregnant With Third Child!
Already parents to two beautiful daughters, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are getting ready for another baby! She's pregnant, according to reports!
The couple, along with Violet, 5 1/2, and Seraphina, 2 1/2 – are "thrilled" to be expecting their third child, they confirmed to the Associated Press.
Here's Jen out with soon-to-be-big sister Seraphina:
Garner and Affleck, both 39, have each spoken of being hands-on parents. Garner said juggling acting and motherhood gave her a "split personality."
"[I] feel like half my brain is somewhere else all the time, but when the camera's rolling, I pull it together and focus for two minutes," she has said.
"Then I kind of turn back to a ditz again."
A ditz and a great mom. Congratulations to the happy couple ... and sorry to J. Lo, who won't be getting back together with Ben anytime soon.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck to Get Back Together?!?!?!
Now it all makes sense.
Tabloids have been wondering and reporting on the basis for Jennifer Lopez's split from Marc Anthony - was he too controlling? Did he cheat on her? - but OK! Weekly has gotten to the bottom of the divorce:
It's all part of a plan to reunite a couple that broke up four days before a wedding, that featured a $1.2 million engagement ring and a 16-month romance: BENNIFER!
“They’re talking,” an insider says in the latest issue of this magazine, while a Lopez colleague says Ben Affleck and J. Lo “have spoken more than once.” Juicy!
If Jennifer's mother, Guadalupe, has anything say about it (note: she doesn't), the two will totally get back together. Mrs. Lopez supposedly called Affleck a few days before her daughter and Anthony separated, with a family friend saying: “She was devastated when the [Bennifer] engagement was called off."
We're very sorry, Jennifer Garner. But you might wanna hire a divorce attorney. This reunion seems inevitable.
Celebrity Hair Affair: Ben Affleck Goes Bieber!
Attention, readers: Ben Affleck has gone all Justin Bieber on us.
No, he isn't dating Selena Gomez or causing mass hysteria by appearing on stage. And, no, we haven't noticed a single Jesus tattoo on the actor.
Affleck stepped out today in Santa Monica with a new, shaggy hairstyle, one that can be attributed to his upcoming role on Argo, a film he's directing, producing and appearing in. Guess we can forgive the guy for not having time to get a haircut.
Which look do you prefer on the star?
Ben Affleck Talks Congo to Congress
While his BFF continues to express disappointment in Barack Obama, Ben Affleck also stepped into the political arena this week, testifying before the House Africa, Global Health & Human Rights Subcommittee.
The actor, who founded the Eastern Congo Initiative, stated his case regarding the central African country, which is mired in violence, and why America must do more.
“If we continue to place Congo on the back burner of U.S. policy, it will come back to haunt us," Affleck said. "The last time Congo collapsed, armies came in from across Africa and five million people died... We must learn from history."
The Oscar winner is asking Congress to protect Congolese civilians from ongoing attacks. He wants the U.S. to offer support in this November's elections and to appoint a representative to the Great Lakes region of central Africa.
"This is an ambitious agenda, but it can be accomplished," Affleck said. "The federal budget may be seen as a zero sum game but our morality, our sense of decency, our compassion for our fellow human beings, is not."
Cindy McCain, a member of Affleck's nonprofit organization, has joined the actor in his fight.

It's a Girl for Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck!
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have officially welcomed their second daughter - and one of the first celebrity babies of 2009!
The actress's rep tells People magazine as of last night: "Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl."
The baby was born Tuesday in Los Angeles. No other details were immediately available. Garner and Affleck, 36, are also parents to daughter Violet, 3.
According to reports, a smiling Garner was spotted being wheeled on a roll-away hospital bed as she was taken to her room. A blanket was draped over her, and it appeared that she was holding the baby. Shortly after, the hospital staff brought in a portable bassinet and heart monitor to check on the baby.
In the weeks leading up to the birth, Jennifer Garner stayed close to home, picking up Violet from preschool and even treating herself to a mani-pedi.
Just days before giving birth, Jen was spotted with Violet at the Farmer's Market in Pacific Palisades and grabbing a decaf coffee at Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica with a girlfriend. Ben was probably there for moral support.
Garner confirmed her second pregnancy in August.
Jennifer Garner to Welcome Baby #2 This Evening?
While the rest of us are out popping champagne this New Year's Eve, Jennifer Garner might be popping out the last celebrity baby of 2008 - or the first of 2009!

They could just be going in for a routine visit, or for something unrelated, but if this is the day Violet's little brother or sister is born, we couldn't be happier!
