When it comes to putting their children first, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are setting the gold standard in Hollywood co-parenting. Even though their marriage ended in 2018, the two have found a way to work together seamlessly for the well-being of their kids. It's a testament to their commitment as parents, and it's truly inspiring to see them navigate this new chapter with grace and mutual respect.
Co-Parenting with Heart
“The kids are their number one priority, and they’re both amazing, hands-on parents,” an insider exclusively reveals to Closer Weekly. “They’ve reached a place of understanding and respect that makes co-parenting not only possible but enjoyable. These days, they're even visiting each other’s homes to catch up over coffee. It's a beautiful example of how two people can prioritize their children's happiness over personal differences.” It’s heartwarming to know that their bond as parents continues to grow stronger with time.
A Legacy of Love
Both Ben, 47, and Jennifer, also 47, have been dedicated parents since they tied the knot in 2005. Now, as co-parents, they share three beautiful children: Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 7. Despite the challenges of their split, Ben has been candid about the regrets he carries. Recently, during an interview with The New York Times, he opened up about his feelings on the divorce. “The biggest regret of my life is this divorce,” the Justice League star admitted. He went on to explain how shame has impacted his life, noting, “Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame. It’s just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing.”

Understanding the Challenges
Ben also delved into the root causes of their split, offering a candid look into his struggles. “People with compulsive behavior, and I am one, have this kind of basic discomfort all the time that they’re trying to make go away,” he explained. “You’re trying to make yourself feel better with eating or drinking or sex or gambling or shopping or whatever. But that ends up making your life worse. Then you do more of it to make that discomfort go away. Then the real pain starts. It becomes a vicious cycle you can’t break.”
“That’s at least what happened to me,” he added, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and emotional healing in overcoming personal challenges.
