Jennifer Garner gives mom Pat, 87, a hand while heading to church with teenage kids Fin and Samuel on Easter

Jennifer Garner doted on her elderly mom and kids as they headed to church in Los Angeles on Easter Sunday. 

The 53-year-old actress lent her 87-year-old mother Patricia a hand as they coordinated in purple outfits for the family outing.

Former Alias star Garner donned an ankle-length ombré dress with a slightly flared hemline, topping it with a dark cardigan draped over her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Pat wore a patterned long-sleeved shirt under a burgundy vest, adding navy trousers, as she leaned on a matching walking stick.

Joining them were Garner's kids Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14, whom she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck, 53. 

The exes are also parents to their firstborn child, Violet, 20. 

The family's Easter celebration comes after Garner recently revealed her octogenarian mother has developed a taste for the spotlight after starring in several of her cooking videos.

The star often features her mom in her social media posts, including segments on her Pretend Cooking Show series – and Patricia is reveling in her newfound fame. 

'She's so funny. She loves it. She loves being recognized. She loves when people say hi to her. She's very opinionated about what we should and shouldn't do,' Garner told People in March.

The mom of three added: 'She likes to tell me that her episodes perform the best and are the best ones.

'And I'm sure she's right because she's been right about everything for the last 53 years of my life. Why not the next?'

Garner highlighted two episodes in particular as she shared, 'I loved, early on we made bagels and that was funny. And then another time, I made beef bourguignon and I almost burned my kitchen down and that's another good one.'

She said: 'I always like when my mom is with me because she's so cute and she's just the best and I love it. And she's a serious scene partner.'

In January Garner treated her mom to a trip to see one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Amicable co-parents Garner and Affleck were spotted together on Saturday as they ran an errand with their son.

They were married from 2005 until their separation in 2015, and their divorce was finalized in 2018. 

During an appearance on Bustle's One Nightstand podcast in February, Garner explained: 'When your kids grow up in two separate households, I become mom and dad, and he becomes dad and mom.

'You kind of can't help it, right? Because you don't have the benefit of both sides, the yin and yang being in the same house, so you have to have a bit of both in the way you parent.

'There's a little bit of loss in that, but there's also something gained in that ... You also just learn, it's made me let go and not focus so much on the bringing up.'
