Ben Affleck: The biggest regret of my life is divorce with Jennifer Garner | Rumour Juice

With all the talk about Bennifer’s love, we couldn’t help but lean into Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s story. The actors seemed to be going the distance. The whirlwind romance, a very private ceremony, three kids and gushing about each other left and right. So, what happened to the loving couple? Was it his alcoholism? Or maybe they just weren’t right for each other? And how did his biggest regret lead him to the love of his life?

Jen was so nice even when confronting the paparazzi. We love you Jenifer your a great woman!

[@toriblue]

Ben Affleck is a hot mess. He doesn't seem to have the emotional stability or maturity to maintain an healthy romantic relationship. You can have a fun honeymoon period with anyone but a real relationship requires tremendous work. Jennifer Garner seems to be an incredibly stable individual...she's not a drama queen. Her response to the nanny situation is a 100 times classier than anything he's ever said. I'm sure she was immensely hurt and angry but she remained very respectful of her children's father. I'm glad Ben Affleck is no longer involved with Jennifer Garner...she's always been way too good for him. Her current relationship with John Miller seems like a very good fit...they've been going strong for five years.

[@evalynlopez4698]

Right On!!!!!

[@user-le5bb9pe5n]

Ben messed around with other women, too. Very unstable emotionally. He got his reward by messing around with JLo again. Now he is a wimpy and controlled man…..hehehe!

[@ginnyhernandez4207]

@user-le5bb9pe5n Ben and Garner are both marriage and engagements breaking freaks allegedly; an embarrassment and bad example to their own children; with similar patterns followers like you allegedly; Jl should take a cruise 🛳 and show her children around the world, away from the stench!

[@99hmoney20]

Ben Affleck is a little like another man child who is married to a DIVA & Narcissist/Control Freak, to say that JLO IS A BIG DIVA/NARCISSIST, CONTROL FREAK WHO LOVES THE LIMELIGHT & Ben is a HANDBAG whenever they r out & about. Ben’s ex wife Jennifer Garner is a beautiful Lady who, Intelligent, Kind & Respectful of her kids father, she is beautiful inside & Outside. Ben I think just likes his privacy which he got with Jennifer Garner but threw it away for the DIVA Jennifer Lopes who wanted Ben to go with her to all the AWARDS NIGHTS IN LOS ANGLES & THE OSCARS,ACADEMIES ETC… Ben may be in love with JL but doesn’t like her DIVA ways. IMO /

[@Paradys8]

Ben is a MESS! Depressed, drinking, aging so rapidly, doesn’t take good care of himself…

[@MelissaRivera-dt4nv]

He is a recovering alcoholic. Usually, the AA groups tell you to stay out of a relationship till you get your addiction under control. He shouldn't have been in a relationship but instead concentrated on working on his sobriety.

[@sarahs5340]

I hope Jennifer moved on in all regards and found a great relationship 🩷

[@KCJ-ke2rl]

I think the whole planet is in love with Garner. Her loyalty and strength makes any partner one lucky man!

[@storybellz]

Loyalty? You mean like how she cheated on her first husband with Ben Affleck? Don’t get me wrong, I like her too, but let’s not describe her as something that she’s not.

[@TheCoolboy2110]

No human can make another human happy. Humans have a void that only God can fill. Anything else is vain. It will eventually die down, meaning it's temporary. Ben may leave his current wife looking for happiness elsewhere. In another woman, in licor, etc. He will only find it in Jesus. MHO.

[@vickimontemayor3262]

Jennifer Garner is heads above JLo in being a decent human being who is considerate, respectful, generous and loaded with integrity. Ben Affleck made a big mistake leaving her but it’s wonderful for her. She’s a classy lady.

[@virgilyndiazmontano9877]

Ben did not leave Garner because of JLo. There were 3 women in relationship of Ben after divorcing Garner and before marrying Lopez. Why put a blame on JLo?

[@storybellz]

Yeah, people are ridiculous constantly putting blame on Jennifer Lopez and making Jennifer Garner seem like his ultimate soulmate. But let’s not forget, he actually cheated on J Lo with Garner allegedly, while he was engaged with J Lo, he started seeing Garner, and that’s around the time that Finn and Jehle broke off the engagement and didn’t get married. Let’s not forget that Jennifer Garner was already married at this time. She’s been the other woman, yet people talk about her like she’s some Saint.

[@Paradys8]

He never looks happy. He’s always moody and has a huge ego

[@sheilasmyth5874]

Alcoholism is a family disease. If married both parties have to work hard to deal w/it. 12 Step recovery programs, so each party can adapt/learn. It seemed to me that Jennifer did her part, but he didn’t. Recovery isn’t a one way street. Given his track record, she’s better off w/out him. But it’s v/hard for their kids

[@sherriceniceros5892]

Ben is a Leo and he has an enormous Ego too. Two Leos together is explosive and exhausting.

[@lynetterodriguez855]

Hey I’m a Leo too. And I’m good enough for Ben. My ego is awesome, might be nice if you spread good news. Your support for him is negative just like you.

[@juliamontalvo9717]

Didn't he say he felt trapped with her. I wonder what he feels with JLOw

[@LunaLu-00]

Even more trapped😂

[@l-kin3480]

He seems like the type of man that sees having a relationship and household responsibility as a burden. He doesn't want to hold his end of the couch.

[@AbbyNormal777]

Jlo can't stand her own company. That's why she rebounds so quickly with someone else. She can't stand being alone with herself. That really is a description of the borderline personality disorder. They have a huge fear of being abandoned and being alone. I wonder if jlo is a borderline personality person??

[@phuongvo3051]

Garner is a great woman , wife ,and mother , great model , JL is a diva , have no respect to her children, jumping in relationships to one another , isnot heathy , he realize that He loves garner

He CANT keep a relationship/ a marriage. He’s ’jumping’ from one relationship to another, thinking that the nest relationship will ‘save’ him.

The denials about sleeping with the babysitter are BS!!! He slept with the nanny! You dont travel with your nanny alone! The nanny showed his lovey dovey, inappropriate texts, during that time, Ben is a liar and Jen covered it up for him!

[@storybellz]

But let’s not forget that Jen was also the other woman. He first got with Jennifer Garner when he was engaged with Jennifer Lopez, and Garner was married at the time. Garner cheated on her first husband with Ben Affleck. And this, just let us know that what goes around, comes around.

And let’s not forget that she cheated on her first husband with him, and they allegedly got together while he was still engaged to J Lo. If true, she broke them up the first time, and it looks like she’s headed for breaking them up again. I don’t know what people describe Jennifer Garner, as such an ideal partner, when she caused more than one break up.

I really actually believe Jennifer Garner is still the love of his life Jennifer Lopez only dated him less than 2 years Jennifer Garner was with him a decade and they have kids he never smiles when he's with Jennifer Lopez they had a short romance. Jennifer Lopez with all of her men so I don't believe Jennifer Lopez and Ben were ever right for each other

Jennifer Garner is an angel. I doubt that Ben would have been successful in his battle without her support. She is so real and authentic, I wish her the very best of everything.

[@virgilyndiazmontano9877]

Angel???? JGARNER was still married with Scott Foley when she slept with Ben Affleck. Ben married a 3months pregnant JGarner after she was officially divorced with her husband Foley. I do not think so if Ben will marry Garner if she did not got pregnant. Ben called it a "trapped marriage".... Both their parents were not present on their wedding ceremony as it was an unplanned or unprepared marriage proposal just giving respect for the sake of the innocent baby Violet in the womb of JGarner.

[@user-cz9dh4yy3g]

waaaait, she left her first husband for a crush on Affleck? who's always has been a trainwreck yeah how did that go?

[@amandadean3948]

Ben strikes me as a “restless soul”, you know the type that that can only settle down with one person for so long?. Hopefully his marriage with JLo will make it. He seems like a nice guy.

[@lfgarza]

🤣

[@valerieking5265]

Honestly, I don't think Ben and Jennifer's marriage will last; she has a terrible track record. She strikes me as the type of woman that is very hard to please.

[@ThePoeticPriestess]

​@valerieking5265 Yeah sure that's why he married Garner for like 18 years and had 3 kids. Also he always looked happy with Garner, never with Jlo. And what do you know? He and Jlo are already on the rocks.

[@storybellz]

@@ThePoeticPriestess hey, Jennifer Lopez had twins with Marc Anthony, and yet he’s already moved on and married another woman and had a baby with her. Just because you have kids together doesn’t mean that that’s your person. Jennifer Lopez stayed married to Mark Anthony for over a decade, and it’s still not her person. Same goes for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. Let’s not forget that the relationship between Garner and Ben Affleck began when she was still married to Scott Foley, and they allegedly started seeing each other while he was engaged to Jennifer Lopez. So, even though people want to describe her as this perfect woman, now, she’s been responsible for at least two breakups. And what goes around comes around. And by the way, it’s not nice for us to be rooting for the break up of yet another relationship. We should be hoping that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck stay together. It’s disgusting how people are hoping he goes back with Garner, especially since she is also engaged now.

[@feyhanemli1507]

I'll take Lopez a NY day❤

[@gwentaylor2396]

I hope jlo and ben stay together

[@storybellz]

Thank you! It’s disgusting how these people want them to break up, how people are actually saying I think he’s going to go back to Jennifer Garner, and they’re happy about that. They’re not thinking about how they are advocating for the break up of a marriage, and how Jennifer garner allegedly cheated on her first husband with Ben Affleck anyway, so this is sort of karma. And we should not be hoping for another break up! I hope that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck work it out and stay together forever, happily.

[@audrablue515]

Alcoholism is not a disease, it’s a behavioural choice . People need to stop talking about it like the alcoholic is powerless about their drinking. They’re not. They can choose to stop drinking and get the therapy they need to change their behaviour.

[@houndmother2398]

Ben Affleck is a miserable person. Most alcoholics are until they find something that works. Nothing will make him happy until then.
