Jennifer Garner talked about how she got through her difficult divorce from Ben Affleck by avoiding gossip and rumors. In a recent interview with Marie Claire UK that CNN picked up on, the actress said that the end of their 10-year marriage felt like losing a “true partnership,” which made the pain worse because it was in the public eye. She said that staying away from tabloid drama was very important for healing and keeping the peace.
Garner, who has three kids with them, ages 13, 17, and 18, said the breakup was one of the hardest things she had to deal with while the media was always watching. Time was very important because it made it possible for her to forgive and rebuild a relationship with her co-parent that she thought was impossible. The couple split up in 2015 and got a divorce in 2018, but they put family stability first.
After their divorce, Garner and Affleck worked together to raise their kids in a way that was “peaceful and calm,” turning their anger toward each other into support. Garner, who has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018, talked about how women can make new friends after a breakup. She said that time heals and allows people to move on without reliving past romances.
Garner told women who were worried about making new friends after a breakup to trust that time will heal them. Their story shows that friendly Hollywood exes put their kids ahead of the news. Recent sightings together have led to speculation, but Garner says they have clear boundaries and value their past.
