Ever wonder why you never see Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck on screen together? The brunette beauty dishes on why she tries to separate her professional and personal life in the new issue of Allure.

"People see paparazzi shots of us together all the time," she explains. "There's no mystery. … People are sick of us."

The Odd Life of Timothy Green actress also notes that for women it is more difficult for women in Hollywood as they “can really lose their identity and just become 'wife of.' " That, she states, is the reason why she also tries not to attend Hollywood events with Affleck.

"It's a very conscious decision," Garner explains as quoted by USA Today. "Sometimes it's a pain because my heels are so high and it would be nice to have his arm. And he's such a great date!”

Next up for the busy mother-of-three includes starring alongside Kevin Costner in Draft Day, Imagine, a film inspired by a letter written by the late John Lennon and the family film, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
