  • Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are co-parenting their kids
  • Ben Affleck is the love of Jennifer Garner's life 

Jennifer Garner made a heartbreaking statement after her divorce from Ben Affleck was announced.

During her interview with Vanity Fair in 2016, the “Peppermint” star called her ex-husband the love of her life. Even though Affleck’s cheating scandal had already been making headlines at that time, Garner still said that she would still choose to marry Affleck if she is asked to remake her previous decision.

“He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous,” Garner said.

But the actress acknowledged the fact that Affleck is a complicated guy. During his off days, the “Batman v Superman” star can be cold and calculating. He can also cast a shadow on the people around him.

Shortly after Garner’s interview, Affleck responded to his ex-wife by calling her a great person. The actor also confirmed that they are on good terms. Affleck also said that he understands why Garner felt the need to talk about him during her interview.

“She felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over with. So, she could say, ‘Look, I already talked about it — I don’t want to do it again.’ It’s fine. She’s allowed to talk about it,” he said.

Meanwhile, Garner and Affleck’s relationship continues to improve. The former couple has been successfully co-parenting their three children. In fact, Affleck just reunited with his kids last Thanksgiving.

Shortly after their outing, the actor was photographed hanging out with his ex-wife inside their car. But photos of Affleck and Garner show them looking tense on their way to the actor’s hotel room.

As of late, it is still unclear what Affleck and Garner were fighting about at that time. But it seems that they have already patched things up. Days after Thanksgiving, Affleck, and Garner reunited to celebrate Violet’s 14th birthday. However, Affleck didn’t spend the entire day with his kids and ex-wife due to his work commitments.
