In a candid new interview with GQ, Ben Affleck opened up about his relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, emphasizing the importance of their co-parenting dynamic for the sake of their three children, aged 13 to 19. Affleck, who was married to Garner for ten years before their 2015 separation, described her as a "really good co-parent and partner." He added, “We move forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children.”

Recently, the public's curiosity about their relationship was reignited when photographs emerged of Affleck and Garner embracing at their son's paintball birthday party. Such moments often trigger rampant speculation regarding the state of their relationship and whether Affleck is interested in pursuing romantic relationships outside of his friendship with Garner. However, sources have quickly dismissed any rumors of a potential reconciliation between the former couple.

Affleck also voiced his frustration over the intense media scrutiny surrounding his life. He referred to the paparazzi attention as "absurd" and "ridiculous," lamenting that there is often nothing substantial about the everyday moments captured by the cameras. "There’s nothing newsworthy at all about the day-to-day events of my life or the conversations I have,” he expressed.

He humorously touched on the wild pregnancy rumors that circulated in the past, recalling a tradition he and Garner shared: whenever they noticed outrageous headlines about their family life tabloids, they would joke about how such stories could lead to them having “15 brothers or sisters.” This lighthearted approach illustrates the couple's ongoing commitment to maintaining a healthy environment for their children despite the chaos of public speculation.

Regarding his personal life, particularly after his split from Jennifer Lopez, Affleck insisted that his life is actually quite "drama-free." He noted that while the public may perceive certain events as dramatic—like a divorce—he believes that, in reality, his experiences are much more mundane. Affleck suggested that if anyone were to hear the true stories behind the headlines, they might find them boring rather than sensational.

In a world where celebrity relationships are often dissected and scrutinized, Affleck's reflections serve as a reminder of the importance of parenting and mutual respect, despite personal ups and downs. “I’m really lucky that I have a wonderful co-parent in Jennifer, and we work together well,” he concluded, highlighting the priority he places on his family.
