Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly tried to introduce Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter Violet to her son, Brody. As per a resurfaced report from In Touch Weekly, Gwyneth sent Brody off to Yale last September. Coincidentally, Ben’s daughter Violet also started a new semester at the university then. A tipster informed that Gwyneth wants the duo to get to know each other because she feels they could be a good source of support for each other, given their shared experience as children of celebrities.
However, the insider clarified that she is not attempting to play matchmaker or anything inappropriate. The source continued, “Gwyneth is a big worrywart and hyper-protective, even of her step-kids,” explaining, “So she’s trying to make sure that Brody will have some good solid people in his orbit now that he’s so far away from home.” For those unfamiliar, Gwyneth Paltrow sporadically dated Ben Affleck from 1997 to 2000.
In summary, the source reassures that Gwyneth only seeks to foster a connection with Ben’s daughter because she recognizes Violet as a class act and a great student, hoping they will become friendly during their time at Yale.
