Jennifer Garner has shared a heartfelt update on the wellbeing of her mother, Patricia Ann, on the father's first death anniversary.

On Tuesday, the ex-wife of Ben Affleck took to her Instagram Story to pen a touching tribute to her late father.

"We buried our dad a year ago today,” Garner began.

She went on to write, “Everyone I speak to asks how my mom is doing (thank you for asking, friends). I spoke to Mom for a long time this morning – she spent half of the conversation telling me reasons she's grateful and the other half laughing."

Jennifer Garner's beloved father John Garner passed away last year at the age of 85.

She announced the news of her father's sad demise via Instagram with a carousel of family photos of herself, her dad, her mom, and her two sisters, Susannah and Melissa, from over the years.
