Jennifer Garner Discusses Painful End To Ben Affleck Marriage: 'I Could Not Handle What Was Out There'
HuffPost
The two actors were married in 2005 and later split in 2015.
Jennifer Garner is offering up rare insight into her marriage to Ben Affleck.
Garner spoke to Marie Claire UK about the couple’s very public split ― which took place in 2015 ― and opened up about the hardest part for her in the whole process.
“You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle, and I could not handle what was out there,” Garner told the magazine.
“But what was out there,” Garner said, “was not what was hard. The fact of it is what was hard. The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard. Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard.”
Garner and Affleck were married from 2005 to 2015, before officially finalizing their divorce in 2018. They share three children together: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
