Bennifer

no
more
and
this

a
real
shock!
After
being
married
for
10
years,
Ben
Affleck
and
his
wife,
Jennifer
Garner
have
reportedly
filed
for
divorce.
The
couple
are
parents
to
Violet,
9,
Seraphina,
6,
and
Samuel,
3.
The
celebrity
couple
have
been
in
the
news
for
quite
sometime
for
their
marriage
and
according
to
various
sources,
the
couple
saw
this
coming
for
a
while.
Jennifer
and
Ben
announced
their
decision
to
divorce
on
Tuesday,
a
day
after
their
10th
wedding
anniversary!
In
a
statement
to
DailyMail,
the
couple
said:
"After
much
thought
and
careful
consideration,
we
have
made
the
difficult
decision
to
divorce.
We
go
forward
with
love
and
friendship
for
one
another
and
a
commitment
to
co-parenting
our
children
whose
privacy
we
ask
to
be
respected
during
this
difficult
time."

Twitter
News
of
troubles
in
their
married
life
first
emerged
when
Ben
won
an
Oscar
for
directing
Argo
in
2014.
"Jen
wanted
to
bring
the
kids
to
visit
him
[on
set]
that
summer,
and
he
said
no," a
source
told
OK!
magazine
in
May.
"This
turned
into
a
very
big
rift
because
it
was
another
two
months
before
he
came
home
and
saw
anyone."
The
actress
celebrated
her
birthday
on
April
17th
alone
while
Ben
was
spotted
solo
in
Canada
without
wearing
his
wedding
ring!
According
to
a
neighbour,
Ben
and
Jen
lived
separate
lives
for
years!
"They
had
good
times
when
they
were
living
in
Brentwood
and
hanging
at
Matt
[Damon]'s
house,"
an
insider
told
the
New
York
Daily
News
in
late
May.
"Things
were
definitely
a
lot
more
upbeat
and
optimistic
then.
Now
there's
friction
and
tension
between
them.
They're
like
two
ships
passing
in
the
night."
"Ben
only
likes
things
his
way
or
no
way,"
NY
Daily
News' insider
said.
"He's
as
stubborn
as
a
mule.
He's
not
exactly
flexible.
He
is
prone
to
moodiness
when
he
doesn't
get
his
way.
Dealing
with
him
is
not
a
walk
in
the
park."
Rumours
of
separation
started
flooding
heavily
in
May.
"[They've]
had
problems
from
the
very
beginning,"
Us
Weekly
reported
in
May,
due
to
Ben's
"workaholic" nature.
Another
reason
was
his
vices
especially
gambling
which
created
problems
in
their
marriage.
