An Insider Claims Ben Affleck Turned Jennifer Garner’s Life Into A Nightmare

So, there’s this insider who’s revealed some serious things about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. It seems like the 51-year-old made some unpleasant memories during her marriage with Affleck, who’s been open about his struggles with liquor and recovery rehab.

According to Life and Style, Affleck made Garner’s everyday routine a living “hell,” prompting their split in 2018 after 13 years together. A source spilled, saying Garner has been keeping a lot under wraps. She’s at last opening up to friends about how extreme things truly were.

They said,

“Jen doesn’t think anyone knows the truth about her and Ben. Nobody knows what people go through — or how much she shielded Ben and their children.”

Affleck’s addiction issues made things even worse. Garner had to deal with him during his drinking sprees and blackouts, which prompted a few real fights. The insider disclosed,

“His addictions were worse than anyone knows. Jen explained how she had to deal with Ben during benders and blackouts and plenty of ugly arguments. Some pretty incomprehensible stuff.”

They were barely talking and often slept in separate rooms, but Garner never stopped caring for him. She kept close by, hoping he’d improve. However, after two and a half years, Affleck got sober, but Garner put in the hard work and showed him love even when he was at his lowest.

Yet, according to People, finally, Affleck and Garner broke up because they simply “grew apart.” Garner and Affleck have three children together, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. This whole ordeal gives us a look into the messy side of their once-cherished Hollywood romance. But, at least they’re moving on.

After Affleck and Garner split, the two of them moved on and found new accomplices. Garner found John Miller and their relationship took off in 2018, soon after her divorce from Affleck.

But Miller was still married to Caroline Campbell when he and Garner began dating. The former couple had split once in 2011, then, at that point, reconciled in 2012, but filed for divorce again in 2014. 

Garner and Miller also broke up in August 2020 after two years, yet reunited in May 2021. They’ve been going strong since then, with Garner showing no signs of wanting to slow things down down. 

On the other hand, as per Elle, Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, broadly known as Bennifer, made headlines in 2021 when they reunited. In mid-2023, they tied the knot after a wild journey. Their romance started in 2002 after they were featured in Gigli, but their engagement ended in 2004. 

Throughout the long term, they each married and divorced others, and dated different people. However, in the end, they exchanged vows in the summer of 2022.

Affleck’s romance with Lopez and Garner’s relationship with Miller show that despite their past, they’ve both found joy with new partners, pushing ahead from their past marriage.
