Jennifer Garner takes care of her three children together with Ben Affleck. But the duo has often been the subject of the tabloids.
These reports often contain gossip, but the Electricity star avoids them. “She protects her peace by refusing to engage with tabloid reporting.”
“It doesn’t help me to accept gossip about myself or anyone else, let alone my children, so I don’t do it,” the actress says. Marie Claire UKand added, “You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle, and I couldn’t handle what was out there.”
Jennifer remembers that tabloid reports of her divorce weren’t the hardest part. It’s the breakdown of a family.
“The fact is, it was hard,” she notes. “The actual breakup of a family is what was hard. Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard.”
Her ex-husband, Ben, has a similar take on the tabloids. “We used to have a thing, my ex-wife and I, when they saw something on the stall of a supermarket,” the actor previously said in an interview with GQ.
“We would say, ‘Well, you know that’s not always true, because if it were, you’d have fifteen siblings, or whatever the number of stories are, where they said your mother was pregnant,'” the actor added.
Ben and Jennifer married in 2005 and divorced in 2015.
