Jennifer Garner talks about issues after Ben Affleck’s divorce
Ben Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner admitted she “panicked” about her financial situation post-divorce. Garner appeared on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast, where she spoke about her divorce, fame, and her acting career.
The “13 Going on 30” star admitted that it was only after divorcing her ex-husband that she realized she had to step up and support herself and their children financially. “I panicked when I was first out of my marriage and realized I had taken such a step back in my work,” Garner began.
She continued: “Suddenly, I realized I don’t know how long I’ll be able to work. This isn’t a career that’s like, ‘Hey, you’re 60, you’re 55, you’re 43, come on, let’s pay you more than you’ve ever made.’ You know what I mean? That’s not been traditionally the role. I was suddenly like, ‘Wait a minute, I have to take care of myself, I have to take care of these kids. So what is it going to be?’”
She also detailed some of the sacrifices she made for the sake of her career and children. “I can’t leave these kids for six months at a time. I would love to. I love going on location, but it’s not this time in my career,” she added.
Garner has continued to build a successful acting career following her divorce. She has starred in numerous movies and TV shows, including “The Five-Star Weekend,” and reprised her role as Elektra in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The 54-year-old actress also co-founded Once Upon a Farm, an organic children’s food company.
