Jennifer Garner is grateful for the media’s respect of her split from husband of 10 years, Ben Affleck, and because of it she said going through it in the public eye hasn’t been as bad as she likely thought it would be.
Garner spoke with Vanity Fair at length about her split from the father of her three children recently and Affleck later said it was her way of addressing it once and for all so she didn’t have to talk about it again.
But she did talk about it with Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show while promoting her film Miracles From Heaven, saying it “hasn't been nearly as bad as you might imagine."
She also said going through it publicly isn’t any worse than anyone who goes through a divorce with kids involved.
Garner called their public split just “another facet” of divorce. “For anyone, when your life shifts in any way, it's tricky enough," she said, calling everyone “warm and loving” about it so far.
