Jennifer Garner Reflects on the Hardest Part of Ben Affleck Divorce in New Interview

She says the real loss was the family unit, with time alongside close support driving her recovery.

Overview

  • In a Marie Claire UK interview, Garner says the challenge was accepting the end of a shared family rather than dealing with media attention.
  • She describes a grieving process that required time, space, and the steady support of close friends and relatives.
  • Garner and Affleck, whose marriage ended in 2018 after about a decade, now co‑parent cordially with their children’s wellbeing as the priority.
