Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were once among Hollywood’s most cherished couples. Their breakup in 2015 left many fans disheartened. Now, as time has passed, Jennifer Garner has shared a deeply personal reflection on the experience.
Their relationship has been in the public eye for many years, not only individually but as a couple during their marriage. Despite their divorce in 2015, they remain interconnected as they share the joy of parenting their three children: Violet Anne, who is now 20, Seraphine, 17, and Samuel, 13.
In the years following their split, both Jennifer and Ben have maintained a level of privacy regarding their family life, choosing to stay out of the spotlight when it comes to personal matters involving one another.
Recently, Jennifer Garner, who has been in a relationship with businessman John Miller, opened up in an interview with Marie Claire UK about her feelings on the separation.
She shared, “You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle, and I could not handle what was out there.”
Jennifer continued, “But what was out there wasn’t the hardest part. The real difficulty was the actual breaking up of a family. Losing a true partnership and friendship was incredibly tough.”
Following her split, Jennifer sought the support of her community, saying, “I make a big, concerted effort to see my people as much as I can, because that’s what matters. That’s where your resilience is: it’s in your relationships and in the people who carry you through.”
During the interview, Jennifer also talked about her upcoming project, Apple TV+’s drama “The Last Thing He Told Me,” and her work beyond acting, which includes involvement with Save the Children US and Once Upon a Farm, alongside raising her children.
Speaking about her children, Jennifer noted, “They’re just so cool. Parenting now has shifted. It’s more about parenting with a button on my mouth… You have to let them grow up and make their choices. You don’t get to control it.”
On co-parenting with Ben Affleck, Jennifer described it as the “hardest thing,” although she acknowledged that it might not compare to the world’s bigger challenges, it was “tricky for me and tricky for my family.”
