It seems that Jennifer Garner is using the long Labor Day weekend for a little rest and relaxation.

On Sunday, she headed to BMO Stadium in Los Angeles to watch a Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) league match between the Chicago Red Stars and Angel City FC.

The game has a very special meaning for the long-time Hollywood star, who also happens to be part of an investment group that now owns the club.

The busy mother of three dressed casually for the outing and was comfortable in her fashion sense: she wore a white T-shirt, dark sunglasses and her dark brown curls fell well past her shoulders and her hair was parted in the middle.

Jennifer Garner, 52, took advantage of the three-day Labor Day weekend to attend a soccer match between her Angel City FC and the Chicago Red Stars at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The longtime Hollywood leading actress is part of the ownership group of Angel City FC of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).

While most people know her as a longtime Hollywood actress and leading lady since the 1990s, she has since devoted herself to passionate business ventures, which include her involvement in the business side of a sports team.

Once Upon A Farm, a company she co-founded to offer more nutritious, convenient and delicious baby food options, is another of the movie star’s projects outside the Hollywood film and television machine.

Earlier this summer, Garner and her leadership team came up with the idea of ​​creating a cross-promotional partnership between their infant nutrition company and the soccer club known around the world outside the United States as Football.

Once Upon A Farm will become a team-level partner and exclusive partner of the club for healthy children’s snacks starting in 2025 as part of a multi-year partnership.

The team was founded by Oscar-winning actress and activist Natalie Portman, technology venture capitalist Kara Nortman and media and gaming entrepreneur Julie Uhrman, according to the Team website.

In addition to Garner, the ACFC ownership group includes a number of celebrities and well-known individuals such as Jessica Chastain, Eva Longoria, America Ferrera, Lindsey Vonn, Latin pop superstar Becky G, MLS legend Cobi Jones and USMNT.

Alyssa Thompson #21 of Angel City FC scored one of the team’s two goals en route to their 2-1 victory over Chicago.

Also on the list are tennis legends Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss, Uzo Aduba, Lilly Singh, activist Glennon Doyle, current LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, former NFL player Ryan Kalil, entertainment executive Cindy Holland, and WNBA legend Candace Parker and her daughter Lailaa.

Prominent owners include 13 former U.S. women’s national team players, including Julie Foudy, Mia Hamm, Lauren Cheney Holiday and Abby Wambach.

The Angel City FC team is led by two-time Olympic gold medalist Angela Hucles Mangano, who is the team’s general manager, while Becki Tweed serves as head coach.

According to Sportico’s latest valuation, the franchise is worth $180 million, the highest in the league. The team’s revenue was $31 million in 2023.

In the end, Jennifer Garner, the rest of the ownership group and their fans were able to watch their club defeat the Red Stars 2-1 on Sunday…raising their record to 6 wins, 3 losses and 9 draws, giving them 9th place in the NWSL.

Angel City FC is the first professional women’s soccer team in the Los Angeles area since the dissolution of the Los Angeles Sol of Women’s Professional Soccer in 2010.

ACFC plays its home games at BMO Stadium, which it shares with Los Angeles FC of Major League Soccer (MLS).

Garner took advantage of the long Labor Day weekend to share an old snapshot of herself as a child, age seven or eight, napping with her cat in the late 1970s.

Just two days earlier, Garner seemed a little nostalgic about the long Labor Day weekend.

Established as a federal holiday in recognition of the American labor movement and the work and contributions of workers to the development and achievements of the United States, Labor Day has become a day of rest and relaxation for many people, as well as the unofficial end of summer.

And that is exactly the message the actress and entrepreneur seems to want to convey with the snapshot she shared on Instagram, which shows her napping on her family’s couch, snuggled up with her pet cat.

“Wishing you a long weekend with a couch, a book and a cat, 1970s style,” Garner, now 52, ​​wrote under the post, which shows her at the age of about seven or eight.
