Garner, 51, noted that her parents did the same while raising her, which she is “amazed by” since it is “so hard.”

She called her little ones “solid,” gushing, “I’m just watching them in this new phase of life where they’re figuring out who they’re going to be and what they’re going to study. And I’m so interested in them. All the time, I’m interested in everything about them.
