Jennifer Garner has said her divorce from Ben Affleck had such an 'upheaval' effect on her family in 2015 that she hardly worked for a long time, in comments published by InStyle on 3 June. The actress was reflecting on how motherhood and the breakdown of her marriage forced her to step back from Hollywood for years.
Garner and Affleck were married for 10 years before announcing their separation in June 2015, a day after their anniversary. Their divorce was finalised in 2018, but the split cast a long shadow over the household while their three children were still young.
