Jennifer Garner Details Two-Home Parenting, Calls Ben Affleck 'Complicated' and 'the Love of My Life'

Her new podcast remarks detail how raising kids across two homes reshapes parenting roles.

Overview

  • In a new Bustle One Nightstand podcast appearance this week, Garner said co-parenting in separate households means she becomes “mom and dad” and Affleck becomes “dad and mom.”
  • She said the arrangement brings both loss and benefit and has taught her to let go of rigid ideas about child‑rearing.
  • Recent coverage quoted Garner describing Affleck as “a complicated guy,” using a sun‑and‑shadow metaphor to capture his variable presence.
  • Reports also resurfaced her earlier declaration that Affleck is “the love of my life,” highlighting enduring affection despite their divorce.
  • Both continue to center their cooperation on their three children—Violet, Seraphina/Fin, and Samuel—with Affleck previously telling Good Morning America he did not want a divorce and remains grateful to Garner.
