Just days after flirting with ex wife Jennifer Lopez on a red carpet, Ben Affleck made rare comments about his other ex wife, Jennifer Garner
Ben Affleck has made rare comments about his relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The pair divorced seven years ago and co-parent their three children together.
Just days ago, Ben had a very flirty reunion with his other ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez while at a screening of their new film, Kiss of the Spider Woman. And yet, within minutes, he was praising his other ex.
In a red carpet interview at the same premiere, he has chosen to speak about Jennifer Garner. He gushed about the children they share together and said they take after their mum.
“I could not be more proud of my children. I can’t even tell you,” he said, before adding that his eldest child, Violet, “takes after her mum”.
Violet, who is currently at university, spoke at a United Nations event last month where she advocated for mask mandates following Covid-19.
Ben later added that his daughter is “spectacular” and went on to praise Jennifer. “I’m very lucky that I’ve got a great partner and that we got great kids. It’s the joy of my life and I’m just very, very lucky. And it makes me happy every day.”

Jennifer and Ben got married in 2005 and had three children – Violet, Fin and Samuel – before jointly filing for divorce in 2018. They have maintained a healthy co-parenting relationship since.
The last time Ben spoke about Jennifer and their relationship was in March, when in an interview, he said: “I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well.”
He also explained how they handled their children’s questions when either one of them made headlines. “We would say, well, ‘You know this isn’t always true because if it were, you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant.’ I know what’s going on in my life. And also, really more importantly, my kids know.”
Ben’s most recent praise for his ex-wife was given at the premiere of his new film Kiss of the Spider Woman, which he produced. His other ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez starred in it. The two were seen getting very close on the red carpet, even though their divorce, instigated by Jennifer, was only finalised earlier this year.
Ben and Jennifer Lopez first met in 2002, before he met Jennifer Garner, and when she was married to Cris Judd. But by 2004, the pair had not only started dating, but gotten engaged, postponed a wedding and ended their relationship too.
While both moved onto other marriages, they found their way back to each other and got married in 2022. Yet, cracks started to appear only a year later, at the 2023 Grammys, where Ben was pictured looking bored whilst accompanying his wife.
After that, the two weren’t seen together for months before the announcement, and Ben was absent from the singer’s 55th birthday celebrations. By their second wedding anniversary, Jennifer filed for divorce and the papers were signed by January 2025.
