Jennifer Garner marked the 25th anniversary of Alias<\/em> with a new photo of former costar and ex-boyfriend Michael Vartan.<\/p>\n

The selfie appeared in Garner’s Sept. 30 Instagram montage celebrating the ABC spy drama. Garner has one arm around Vartan, who wears glasses, a chambray shirt and a New York Mets cap.<\/p>\n

The image offered a rare recent glimpse of the former costars together. Garner played Sydney Bristow opposite Vartan’s Michael Vaughn throughout the series, which premiered Sept. 30, 2001, and ran for five seasons.<\/p>\n

Garner’s anniversary post went well beyond one reunion, bringing together photographs, footage and memories from the cast and creative team who remained part of her life long after the show ended in 2006.<\/p>\n

Garner Included Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin and J.J. Abrams in the Tribute<\/h2>\n

A post shared by Jennifer Garner (@jennifer.garner)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The montage included current and older images with Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin, Merrin Dungey and series creator J.J. Abrams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were my whole world, the cast and crew, and they still are,\u201d Garner said in the video’s voiceover. She described the group as a small circle that had remained connected across the years.<\/p>\n

E! News<\/a> noted that Garner’s post paired the reunion photographs with clips from the series and her reflections on landing a role unlike anything she had previously done.<\/p>\n

Her caption itself was brief: \u201cHappy 25th, Alias.\u201d Merrin Dungey responded in the comments with a playful reference to the fights between Sydney and Francie on the series.<\/p>\n
