Some actors find it hard to watch movies they’ve starred in, but for Jennifer Garner, the challenge is reading news about her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. Whether the coverage is positive or negative, it weighs on her.
Since Ben Affleck reunited with Jennifer Lopez, the world seems to have forgotten that, for many years, there was another Jennifer in his life.
Jennifer Garner, who had three children with Affleck, supported him through his struggles with addiction and forgave him for his mistakes.
Today, how does Garner feel about being seen by many as a secondary figure in Ben’s life after his split from Jennifer Lopez, despite all she sacrificed for her family?
The long and revived love story of Lopez and Affleck, which spans over two decades, has attracted worldwide attention. Garner, as Affleck’s ex-wife, couldn’t escape the public chatter, either.
However, when asked directly by reporters about her feelings, Garner usually responds with her signature smile and laugh.
In a recent interview with Stellar Magazine, she admitted that she avoids reading news about Affleck. In fact, she tries to ignore any media updates about her ex-husband.
Garner explained that reading such articles unsettles her, whether they’re positive or negative.
“I don’t want anyone in my family to become a meme. Though, honestly, I think he’s worthy of it,” she joked, referring to the frequent online memes about Ben’s solemn expressions.
For context, Garner and Affleck share three children: 17-year-old Violet, 13-year-old Seraphina, and 10-year-old Samuel.
The pair first met on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2000, but their romantic relationship began two years later while filming Daredevil.
The two separated in 2015, finalizing their divorce in 2018.
