Jennifer Garner wishes ‘Spy Daddy’ Victor Garber, who she starred with on Alias, a happy 72nd birthday: ‘I cannot wait to see you soon’

Jennifer Garner swung by her Instagram on Tuesday to wish a happy 72nd birthday to her Alias co-star Victor Garber.

She posted a heartwarming snap of him with an arm around her and wrote: ‘This is the only picture I can find with @therealvictorgarber where we aren’t laughing.’

‘Could you even love this man one ounce more? No? Me, neither. Happy Birthday, Spy Daddy. I cannot wait to see you soon,’ Jennifer wrote in her new post.

Although their characters have a tempestuous relationship on the show the stars who played them are close pals in real life.

Victor even officiated Jennifer’s wedding to her ex-husband Ben Affleck with whom she amicably co-parents their children Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, nine.

‘She’s very maternal towards me and I’m very paternal towards her,’ Victor dished in an interview with Us Weekly late in 2019.

‘We have kind of an unbreakable bond and I just feel so grateful for that ‘cause I love her very much,’ the Legally Blonde actor shared.

The previous year he told Us Weekly that he ‘Definitely’ has a grandfatherly bond to her children and gushed: ‘They’re just beyond brilliant those kids.’

Victor was nominated for three Emmys for his work on Alias and Jennifer who led the cast was nominated for four but neither of them won.

Jennifer became a star on the espionage thriller which had a successful five-season run on ABC from 2001 until 2006.

Victor had already been a name for decades – four years before Alias he appeared in a major role in Titanic, then the highest-grossing movie ever.

He has spent the past 22 years involved with Canadian artist Rainer Andreesen whom he eloped with to Tofino on Vancouver Island in 2015.
