Jennifer Garner just gave“Alias”fans a reason to smile. The actress marked the show’s 25th anniversary with an Instagram video montage on Wednesday, and tucked inside it was a rare selfie with Michael Vartan, her former co-star and ex-boyfriend. Vartan played Michael Vaughn, and the two dated from 2003 to 2004 before Garner’s 2005 wedding to Ben Affleck.
In the voiceover, Garner didn’t hold back on the love. She said she’s“so proud”of the series and called her castmates and crew her“whole world,”noting that the bond has lasted 25 years. The montage also spotlighted director J.J. Abrams and co-stars Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin and Merrin Dungey, giving fans a full nostalgic walk down memory lane.
“Alias”ran on ABC from 2001 to 2006 and turned Garner into an action icon, but it’s the off-screen relationships that keep pulling us back in. Garner and Vartan have stayed friendly over the years, including a birthday tribute she posted for him in 2023. So, are you team“still friends with your ex,”or is that a hard pass? Tell us in the comments.
