Garner, Affleck divorce

Divorce0 Comments

Garner and Affleck divorce after 10 years of marriage. They intend to seek mediation. They have three children: Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three.

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. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.
