Ben Affleckâs ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, dishes on co-parenting their children together. The couple raises their three children in âtwo separate households,â and Garner confessed this includes âa little bit of loss.â Garner and Affleck finalized their divorce in October 2018, and their childrenâs names are Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
Jennifer Garner reflects on co-parenting with Ben Affleck
Affleckâs ex-wife Jennifer Garner explains the former coupleâs co-parenting dynamic with their three children. In an interview with Bustle for their podcast One Nightstand on February 24, when asked if she follows a formal parenting approach or an encouraging one, Garner said, âI think that I do a bit of both. And I think my kidsâ dad does too. Especially when your kids grow up in two separate households â I become mom and dad, and he becomes mom and dad.â
Continuing further, Garner stated, âYou kind of canât help it, right? Because you donât have the benefit of both sides of the yin and yang being in the same house. And so you have to have a bit of both in the way that you parent.â
Although it has been nearly a decade since the couple divorced and they have settled into an amicable co-parenting relationship, Garner confessed that this arrangement comes with complex feelings. She reflected, âThereâs a little bit of loss in that, but thereâs also something gained in that⊠You also just learn. Itâs made me let go and not focus so much on the bringing up.â

Earlier, Garner spoke with Marie Claire UK and confessed she has loved watching her children step into adolescence and eventually embrace adulthood.
The 13 Going on 30 star described her children as âso coolâ and admitted that her parenting has now âshifted.â Garner explained, âItâs more about parenting with a button on my mouth. You have to let them grow up and make their choices. You donât get to control it.â
Affleck also reflected on co-parenting with his ex-spouse in an interview with E! Online. The Rip star said, âYou put something on your children when you have a public life, and thatâs complicated. We really want to give them room to figure out what they want to do.â
