Jennifer Garner has recently shared what her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s parenting support did for her in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. The “Elektra” actor tied the knot with the “The Accountant” actor in 2005. They finalized their divorce in 2018, ending their thirteen years of married life. They share three kids, Violet Anne, Fin, and Samuel. The former couple has been co-parenting their kids since they parted ways and often appears to have a very healthy co-parenting dynamic.
During the recent interview, Jennifer Garner revealed that “There is a time in your life where you do get caught in all of that.” The actor continued, “And that’s okay. That’s a season.” She then explained, “And it’s a beautiful thing. I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.” The actor continued, “But did I get caught up in raising my family?” She disclosed, “Absolutely.”
After that, Jennifer Garner said, “But my kids are a little bigger [now].” The actor revealed, “Their dad — ex-husband [Ben Affleck] — has become this incredible co-parent.” She continued, “And I have this unbelievable [business] partner who produces with me things that we control and are able to help keep in L.A.” She then explained, “I love making movies anywhere, but I really want to make movies at home.”
Jennifer Garner further shared, “When [my kids] were younger, I wouldn’t have done a couple of weeks away without taking them with me.” The actor continued, “Now they’re in high school. You can’t really do that anymore.” The actor also disclosed, “But they can stay with their dad. He’s wonderful.” She continued, “He takes care of them. He’s a great partner in that way.” “And that’s very freeing,” the actor added.
