While they co-parent their three children and remain friends, the couple — who were married from 2005 until 2018 — does not want their private life to be publicized online.
Five years after she and the actor, 50, divorced, the actress opened up in a recent interview on how it makes her feel to see things published about her or the people in her life. She told Stellar Magazine, “I really work hard not to see either of us in the press,” as per the Daily Mail.
The ‘Alias’ star said in the interview, “It doesn’t make me feel good, even if it’s something nice about one of us. I just try to forget that I’m out there in any way, and the same with anyone I love. I don’t need to see anyone in my family made into a meme.”
Garner replied, “Although I’m sure he’s quite meme-worthy, yes!” when asked if she had seen any of the memes of her ex that were going around online.
The ‘Gone Girl’ actor was married to Garner from 2005 to 2018; they are still cordial and continue to co-parent their three children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.
Both of them have found new romantic partners. After reigniting their romance 20 years after they were engaged for the first time, Ben married Jennifer Lopez in 2022. The ‘Elektra’ star has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018.
In his own interviews, Ben has made remarks about her and his family, just like his ex-wife did in her most recent one. After some of his statements were misinterpreted three weeks ago, he finally opened up that he doesn’t hold Garner responsible for his past issues with alcoholism.
On March 16, he revealed to The Hollywood Reporter, “the idea that I was blaming my wife for my drinking. To be clear, my behavior is my responsibility entirely.”
