Cover Girl: Jennifer Garner on Allure Magazine

Mom to 1-year-old Violet, actress, Martha Stewart fan and wife to actor Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner has it good. She is gracing the cover of the April issue of Allure magazine and dishes a bit on how her relationship with Ben got started:

“He was a really fun partner in crime but I didn’t take him seriously, and he didn’t take me seriously,” she says. “We just made fun of each other and got each other through a hard movie, but it was not leaning toward romance in any way. Then he went through all this stuff in his life, I went through all this stuff in my life, and we would talk every six months: ‘Oh, how are you?’ Then I was doing the follow-up to Daredevil, and the producer said, ‘Will you call Ben and ask him if he’ll do a cameo?’ And so I called him, and we spent this day doing this cameo, and I was kind of like-Oh! We were both single. And we started emailing. It was very gradual. And surprising. And even now talking about it, I’m surprised.”

The cover girl hails from Charleston, West Virginia, and seems to be very conscious of her roots, going back to her hometown for Violet's christening. She wore a Chanel minidress on the cover, and even brought her own salad to the LA photo shoot, along with a political science book for an online class she's taking through UCLA. Is there anything she doesn't do?

Does Jennifer Lopez Sleep?

Seriously, I think she might not. Martha Stewart only sleeps 4 hours a night - maybe Jennifer is the same way. Besides her work as a producer in MTV's Dance Life, and working on an upcoming album and concert tour, the multi-hyphenate is at work on yet another project. She has teamed up with Sex and the City producer Alexa Junge to develop a sitcom about Hispanic nannies. It is set to be called Ayuda, Spanish for "help." What is the Spanish word for sleep?
