Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s Marriage and Divorce Story

Early Relationship and Marriage

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner first met in 2000 on the set of the film Pearl Harbor, where Garner had a minor role. However, their romantic relationship did not begin until four years later, when they starred together in the 2003 superhero film Daredevil. By October 2004, they made their first public appearance as a couple at a Boston Red Sox World Series game. Their relationship blossomed after both had ended previous engagements—Affleck with Jennifer Lopez and Garner with Scott Foley.

Affleck proposed to Garner in April 2005, and they married on June 29, 2005, in a private ceremony in Turks and Caicos. The couple welcomed three children during their marriage: Violet Anne (born December 1, 2005), Seraphina Rose Elizabeth (born January 6, 2009), and Samuel Garner (born February 27, 2012). Throughout their marriage, both Affleck and Garner often expressed admiration for each other publicly.

Challenges in Their Marriage

Despite their apparent happiness, Affleck’s struggles with alcohol addiction began to take a toll on their relationship. In interviews, he has acknowledged that his drinking escalated during the period when their marriage was facing difficulties. The couple attempted to work through their issues by attending counseling sessions together but ultimately decided to separate.

On June 30, 2015, just days after celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary, Affleck and Garner announced that they were getting a divorce. They stated that they would continue to co-parent their children amicably. Following this announcement, they were seen vacationing together with their kids in the Bahamas shortly afterward.

Divorce Proceedings

The divorce process took several years to finalize due to ongoing discussions about custody arrangements for their three children. In April 2017, nearly two years after announcing their split, Affleck and Garner officially filed for divorce while seeking joint legal and physical custody of their children.

The divorce was finalized on October 5, 2018. Despite the end of their marriage, both have continued to speak positively about each other in public forums. Affleck has referred to Garner as “the most important person” in his life during his recovery from addiction.

Post-Divorce Relationship

Even after their divorce was finalized, Affleck and Garner maintained a close co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children. They have been seen together at various family events and have expressed mutual respect for one another despite the challenges they faced during their marriage.

In recent interviews following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez in early 2024, Affleck has reflected on his past relationships with both women. He has expressed regret over his marriage to Garner ending but emphasized that he does not blame her for his struggles with alcoholism.
