Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been divorced for six years, and both have moved on with their lives. Affleck is on honeymoon in Paris with his new wife, Jennifer Lopez, and Garner is enjoying the garden of her new home. She shared sneak peeks of a few rooms.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck met while filming the action and fantasy movie “Daredevil” in 2003. At the time, Affleck was still dating Jennifer Lopez, so his relationship with Garner only started in 2004.
Garner and Affleck fell hard for each other, and by 2005, the couple was ready to tie the knot. Affleck proposed to his costar on her 33rd birthday, and they married after two months on June 29, 2005.
The wedding ceremony was very intimate, with only four people in Turks and Caicos. It included their witnesses, the officiant, Victor Garber, who is also a close friend of Garner.
When the couple got married, Garner was already pregnant with their first child, so at the end of 2005, Affleck welcomed their daughter Violet on December 1.
The “Daredevil” cos-stars had two more children, Seraphina, born in 2009, and Samuel, who came in 2012.
WHAT LED TO JENNER GARNER AND BEN AFFLECK’S DIVORCE?
Garner and Affleck unexpectedly announced their divorce just a day after their 10th anniversary. They were one of Hollywood’s favorite couples and were famously photographed on the coffee runs and trips to the farmers market.
However, during their public divorce, Affleck made a few comments about their marriage that had him at the center of internet discussions.
While interviewing with Haward Stern, a clip from the podcast went viral. Affleck was opening up about his struggle with alcohol and confessed that part of it was because he was “trapped” in his marriage.
Affleck said he believed he would have still been drinking if he and Garner did not separate. However, Affleck thought he was vulnerable about his difficulties, but many felt that the conversation was him blaming Garner for his drinking problem.
Alas, Affleck went to The Jimmy Fallon show to clarify his meaning. The actor said he would never speak badly about the mother of his children and believed the interview would empower people rather than what it had turned to.
Garner also did not take what her ex-husband had said about her to heart. The “13 going on 30” star told Enews about the hardship of going through a separation.
Garner said the fact that her divorce was public was not the most challenging part, but simply enduring the ending of marriage was not easy.
The divorce’s effect on her children and for Garner to stay strong for them was another difficult part of the process.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Garner shared that she was sad she would not be able to dance with her husband at her daughter’s wedding.
However, in 2021, five years after their divorce, Garner said she does not worry about dancing with her husband at one of her daughter’s weddings. She knows they will be in good spirits and enjoy every moment as a family.
After a load of public scrutiny and healing, Garner and Affleck are the best co-parents to their children and have both moved on with their lives.
Recently, Affleck married Jennifer Lopez in Las Vegas. They had already dated in 2003 but rekindled their love two years later.
Garner has kept her romantic life private since her split from Affleck. However, the actress is reportedly dating the CEO of CaliGrouple, John Millier.
Garner and Miller have been dating since 2018 but took a break along the way because Garner was not ready to get married.
A few months after their split in 2020, the couple got back together in 2021. Friends of Garner have approved of the new relationship and confirmed that the actress is very happy.
The second time around, Garner and Miller are stronger than ever. Miller, who has two daughters from his previous marriage, has had many more play dates with Garner’s children.
The actress showed a glimpse of her big garden, which will most likely be a farmer’s dream.
According to close sources, the actress loves that Miller is a “simple guy” that is not in the entertainment industry. Garner and her tech CEO are happy to keep their relationship private and as far as possible from Hollywood.
Jennifer Garner has purchased a new home in Los Angeles. The “Yes Day” actress enjoys peace and quiet while her three children are in Paris with Affleck and Lopez for their honeymoon.
Garner shared a picture of herself on Instagram looking comfortable in a sundress with a big basket in her greenhouse filled with different vegetables.
The actress showed a glimpse of her big garden, which will most likely be a farmer’s dream. Garner has a business called Once Upon A Farm which is dedicated to producing nutritional food for children.
The food for her company is all produced with fruit and vegetable from her family farm. Garner has also given her followers a sneak peek into her house.
The actress shared her living room with beautiful wooden shelves filled with books and picture frames. Garner also revealed her reading nook, which has a window of stained glass and different colors coming through it as the sun hits it.
Although there might never be a full house tour of Garner’s new house, the actress is no stranger to sharing multiple videos of her life as a mother and actress, so fans will appreciate them while paying close attention to the design of the new home.
