by

Ben Affleck’s recent relationship with Jennifer Lopez, including their marriage and subsequent divorce, has kept his personal life in the headlines. This attention often extends to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, especially since they share three children. While they continue to spend time together as parents – even celebrating Thanksgiving together – Garner recently opened up about what it’s like to maintain a relationship with Affleck after their split.

Jennifer Garner and her ex-husband have been successfully co-parenting their children outside of marriage since 2015. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Garner addressed the widespread public support for her well-being, stating:

I’m constantly amazed by how things have turned out. I’m thankful to still be working and healthy, and I’m especially grateful that my children are well. The relationships I’ve built with my colleagues – they feel like family – have lasted for decades and only grown stronger. It’s a real blessing, and I’m so appreciative that my job has brought these wonderful people into my life.

Unlike many celebrities who often face public criticism, Jennifer Garner seems to be doing very well these days. She’s focused on being a good mom to her kids, supporting Save The Children US, running her company Once Upon A Farm, and continuing to act.

Now, as for her relationship with Affleck, here’s what Garner said:

I’ve reached a point where I can peacefully and calmly co-parent, even forming a partnership I never thought possible. It’s important for women to remember that even if they believe they’ll never reconcile with someone or be friends again, time can offer a chance to heal, forgive, move forward, and build a new kind of friendship.

Divorce with children is incredibly challenging, and many parents face this situation. Jennifer Garner describes her relationship with ex-husband Ben Affleck as a friendly partnership focused on calm and cooperation, especially for their kids’ sake. She’s also found support in her current partner, John Miller, who is said to be accepting and welcoming of her family.

During the interview, Garner admitted it was difficult to separate her family and end a close partnership and friendship. She also mentioned the challenge of having her children and relationships constantly under public scrutiny as they get older. Garner stated she avoids participating in tabloid stories because she doesn’t find them helpful.

It’s been a year since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez officially ended their marriage. After reconnecting in 2021, they quickly married in Las Vegas in 2022, followed by a larger ceremony with loved ones in Georgia. Sadly, the relationship didn’t last, and Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce in the summer of 2024.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner both have exciting projects coming up! Affleck will be in a new movie called The Rip with Matt Damon, which will be available on Netflix starting January 16th. Garner is starring in Season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me, premiering on Apple TV+ on April 14th.
