It appears Jennifer Garner is taking advantage of the long Labor Day holiday weekend by doing a bit rest and relaxation.

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

The game has a little extras special meaning for the longtime Hollywood leading lady, who just also happens to be a part of an investment group that now owns the club.

Dressed casually for the outing, the busy mother of three came prepared for comfort in the fashion department in a white t-shirt, dark sunglasses, and her dark brown locks flowing straight well past her shoulders with a center part.

While most people know her as a longtime Hollywood actress and leading lady since the 1990s, she has since branched out to get herself involved in some passionate business ventures, which includes getting involved in the business side of a sports team.

Once Upon A Farm, a company she helped co-found that offers more nutritious, convenient, and delicious baby food options, is another of the screen star’s ventures outside of the Hollywood machine of film and television.

Earlier this summer, Garner and her executive team got the idea to do a cross-promotion partnership between her children’s nutrition company and the soccer club, otherwise known as football throughout the entire world outside of the U.S.

Once Upon A Farm will be a team-level partner starting in 2025, as well as the club’s exclusive partner for healthy kids’ snacks, that’s part of a multi-year partnership.

The team is founded by Academy Award-winning actress and activist Natalie Portman, technology venture capitalist Kara Nortman, media and gaming entrepreneur Julie Uhrman, according to the team’s website.

Along with Garner, the ACFC ownership group also includes a slew of celebrities and high-profile people such as Jessica Chastain, Eva Longoria, America Ferrera, Lindsey Vonn, Latin pop superstar Becky G, MLS legend Cobi Jones, and USMNT.

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

Rounding out the celebrity side of ownership, there are 13 former players from the United States Women’s National Team 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’s the team’s General Manager, while Becki Tweed serves as the head coach.

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

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

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

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

Just two days earlier, Garner appeared to feeling a little nostalgic heading into the extended Labor Day holiday weekend.

Instilled as a federal holiday in recognition of the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the United States, Labor Day has turned into a day of rest and relaxation for many people, while serving as the unofficial end of summer.

And that’s exactly the idea the actress and entrepreneur looks to be getting across with the throwback snap she shared on Instagram showing her napping on her family’s couch all snuggled up with her pet cat.

‘I’m wishing you a 1970’s couch, book and cat kind of long weekend,’ Garner, now 52, captioned the post that shows herself at around the age of seven or eight.
