Jennifer Garner opens up on co-parenting challenges with ex-husband Ben Affleck

Jennifer Garner has spoken candidly about the complexities of co-parenting with ex-husband Ben Affleck, revealing how the experience has shaped her approach to raising their three children since their separation. 

In a recent interview on Bustle’s One Nightstand podcast, Garner detailed how parenting across two households has required both parents to take on expanded roles in their children’s lives.

“When your kids grow up in two separate homes, I become both mom and dad, and he becomes dad and mom,” the Alias star explained. 

Moreover, she noted that although this arrangement brings a “little bit of loss,” it also presents opportunities for growth and learning for both parents, as per Page Six.

Garner and Affleck married in 2005 after meeting on the set of Pearl Harbor and finalized their divorce in 2015, maintaining a strong sense of unity around their shared priorities. 

Despite the end of their marriage, sources affirm that the former couple remains in regular contact, committed to supporting their children’s stability and well-being.
