Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck

The 46-year-old and the 45-year-old have long ended their relationship. The actor started with TV producer Lindsey Shookus, but the actress decided to take a break from new hobbies. The only thing that unites the star couple is their children. Legally, the divorce has not yet been recognized as valid, and now it has become known that it may be declared invalid due to unfinished documentation cases.

According to information made available to the American edition of E! Online, the divorce cannot be carried out due to the lack of important documents related to the issue of child custody. Two years after the start of the divorce proceedings, the couple still have not decided who 12-year-old Violet, nine-year-old Serafina and six-year-old Samuel will live with.

Garner must send Affleck the final decision in this case, as well as submit a statement to the court. Otherwise, the consideration of the divorce proceedings will be suspended or even rejected, and the divorce, accordingly, will not be considered valid. The judge did not specify a time frame for the couple to resolve the issue, but under California court rules, the case can be dismissed if the parties do not make a final decision within two years. The actors seem to be in no hurry.

Many stars sin with an addiction to short-term romances, but there are those celebrities whose couples seem to be the epitome of an ideal relationship. This is exactly what Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner looked like, impeccable and touching. Their romance, which caused endless tenderness of fans and even journalists, soon led to marriage. But unexpectedly, the tabloids were stirred up by the news that the long-term union had collapsed. Why did Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner break up?

Love is not at first sight

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were first brought together by fate in 2001. It happened on the set of Pearl Harbor. But then the actors were not up to paying attention to each other. Ben healed heart wounds after breaking up with Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer was married to actor Scott Foley.

Again, the heavenly forces brought together future lovers in 2003. They had an on-screen romance in Daredevil and were even nominated for MTV's Best Kiss award. However, this time Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner remained just friends in real life, because Ben plunged headlong into a passionate affair with sexy Jennifer Lopez. Garner, on the other hand, was saddened by the crisis in her marriage.

Through thorns to each other

It seemed that the relationship between Lopez and Affleck would inevitably end in a wedding. Bennifer, as the couple was nicknamed, even got engaged. However, in 2004, the singer's agent officially notified the press and the public that the engagement was cancelled. In the pursuit of PR, celebrities have lost their love.

The paparazzi from every smallest detail of their romance inflated the scandalous sensation in order to place it on the front pages of the tabloids. Lopez later mentioned that her ex-lover loves to complicate things, and Ben himself woefully stated that the fatal affair with J. Lo had a negative impact not only on his emotional state, but also on his career. For some time, he ceased to be an independent creative unit, and was mentioned in the press only as the boyfriend of the pop diva.

Perhaps Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have now begun to feel each other especially subtly precisely because of their related failures in their personal lives. Marriage Garner became a cup that could no longer be glued together. Around the same time that J. Lo and Ben broke up, the actress divorced

Career failure as a path to happiness

The third time Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner clashed was on the set of Elektra in 2004. It was then that they saw in each other what they had been looking for for a long time. "Elektra" did not become a box office hit and received negative reviews from critics, and the scene with Ben was completely cut from the final version of the film. However, this minor career failure did not bother the newly-made lovers at all. Affleck realized that before that, he mistakenly fell in love with the wrong Jennifer. Garner did not try to pull the blanket over herself, she was sweet, sincere and kind-hearted, the one that any man subconsciously would like to see as his wife.

So long brewing romance began to develop very rapidly. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, whose photos left no doubt about their mutual tenderness, did not postpone the wedding on the back burner and secretly got married already in 2005. The celebration took place on the legendary island of Parrot Cay, which has become a wedding venue for more than one celebrity. Only relatives and close friends were invited to the ceremony. Ben, tired of the ubiquitous reporters in his relationship with J. Lo, took care of the new novel as the apple of his eye. In addition, Garner already then needed double care - she was pregnant with her first child. Very soon, the daughter of the actors was born, who was given the feminine name Violet.

Dream family

Ben and Jennifer did not try to overtake each other in acting success. Garner, as an exemplary wife, gladly began to live in the shadow of a famous spouse, focusing on careful care for him and the children. Ben and Jennifer became parents three times: in 2009, their second daughter, Serafina, was born, and in 2012, Garner gave her husband, inspired by happiness, the heir Samuel.

It seemed that in perfection the couple could only compete with the legendary Brangelina. But in 2013, the first signs appeared that things were far from perfect in the relationship between Affleck and Garner. At the Oscar ceremony, Ben, having become the owner of the coveted statuette, instead of a tear-jerking speech about love, rather dryly thanked his wife for "taking care of their marriage." The complex nature of the actor could not hide for a long time under a good-looking Hollywood smile - Affleck returned to his old passion for alcohol and gambling. The one whom the public considered an impeccable spouse often spent the night away from home and spent more than one evening in bars, and not with his family.

Last drop of patience

Garner endured her husband's antics for a long time and consoled herself with the fact that no one is perfect. She turned to numerous family psychologists for advice, but her boundless patience reached its limit. In June 2015, it became known that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were divorcing. The reason for this turn of events was also the details that surfaced about Affleck's unscrupulous betrayal. His secret passion was not a colleague, but the nanny of their children with Jennifer!

Nevertheless, after some time, the star spouses again withdrew the divorce papers. It is not known what kind of "second chance" the relationship with her husband decided to give again the all-forgiving Garner, who was just right to be canonized. She dutifully waited for her husband to realize his mistakes, but this was not destined to come true. In April 2017, Affleck and Garner filed for divorce due to "irreconcilable differences".

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck

The 46-year-old does not often talk about relationships with her after, but recently the actress opened up in a conversation with a journalist. It turns out that she suffered from increased attention from the press. For ten years, her family was hounded by reporters who wanted to get breaking news faster than anyone else.

Looking back, I still get stressed out by it. Even now, talking about it, I feel like I could cry. Everyone said that I just have to go through this test and then it will not be so difficult. But the hardest part for me was just getting through it,

— commented the actress.

I think this situation has taught me that close attention to personal life puts pressure on important decisions. You are in a hurry to get married because you are under constant pressure from the press "Are they together or not?". This principle also works in reverse: even if you don't have problems, the press will come up with them for you.

Garner said.
