Charitable: Jennifer Garner, 44, showed off her kind-hearted spirit as she gave money to a homeless woman in Los Angeles on Monday

The Alias star, who is an ambassador for the charity Save The Children, looked fresh-faced and apparently make-up free for the drive.

Scraping her raven tresses back into an understated topknot, the mother-of-three wore a simply grey sweater.

Jennifer, who is regularly seen out and about with son Samuel and daughter Violet, 11, and Seraphina, seven, seemed to go solo for the trip.

Ben Affleck, 44, and Jennifer were married for 10 years before they announced their plans to divorce in June 2015.

Speaking to Vanity Fair in March, she said: 'It was a real marriage. It wasn't for the cameras. 

'And it was a huge priority for me to stay in it. And that did not work.'

The 13 going on 30 star added that following the divorce, she chose to stay out of the public eye due to the hurtful comments.

'Ben says, "Oh, you just don't care," and I say, "No, it's the opposite." It hurts me so much, and I care so much.'

The family of five have often been seen heading to church or to a restaurant together in the past year, despite Ben and Jen's plans to divorce.

The former couple have yet to file for divorce with Ben still living in the family home.
