A novel without a happy ending: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

Many stars sin with an addiction to short-lived romances, but there are also those celebrities whose couples seem to be the personification of ideal relationships. Exactly so, impeccably and touchingly, looked like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Their novel, which evoked endless affection for fans and even journalists, soon led to marriage. But unexpectedly, the tabloids stirred the news that a long-term alliance had crashed. Why did Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner break up?

Love is not at first sight

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were first brought together in 2001. It happened on the set of the painting "Pearl Harbor". But then the actors were not up to paying attention to each other. Ben healed heart wounds after a break with Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer was even married to actor Scott Foley.

Once again, the heavenly powers brought future lovers in 2003. They spun the novel on screen in the movie "Daredevil" and even became candidates for the award from MTV for "Best Kiss." However, this time Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in real life were just friends, because Ben plunged into a passionate affair with the sexy Jennifer Lopez. Garner was also saddened by the crisis that was ripe in her marriage.

Through thorns to each other

It seemed that the relationship between Lopez and Affleck would inevitably end with a wedding. Bennifer, as they called this couple, even got engaged. However, in 2004, the singer's agent officially notified the press and the public that the engagement was canceled. In pursuit of public relations celebrities lost their love.

The paparazzi from every small detail of their novel fanned a scandalous sensation to put it on the first pages of the tabloids. Lopez later mentioned that her ex-lover loved everything, and Ben himself said bitterly that the fateful romance with Jay Lo had a negative impact not only on his emotional state, but also on his career. For some time he ceased to be an independent creative unit, and was mentioned in the press only as a boyfriend of a pop diva.

Perhaps Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have now particularly delicately begun to feel each other precisely because of the related failures in their personal lives. Marriage Garner has become a cup that can not be glued together. At about the time Jay Lo and Ben split up, the actress divorced Scott Foley.

Career failure as a path to happiness

For the third time, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner collided on the filming of "Electra" in 2004. Then they saw each other what they were looking for. "Electra" did not become a hit on film distribution and received negative reviews from critics, and the scene with Ben's participation was completely cut from the final version of the film. However, the new-born lovers did not care about this insignificant career failure. Affleck realized that before this mistakenly fell in love with the wrong Jennifer. Garner did not try to pull the blanket over herself, was sweet, sincere and kind-hearted, the one that any man subconsciously would like to see his wife.

So long the brewing romance began to develop very rapidly. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, whose photos left no doubt in their mutual tenderness, did not put off the wedding in a long box and secretly married in 2005. The celebration was held on the legendary island of Parrot-Kay, which became the site of the wedding of not one celebrity. The ceremony was attended only by relatives and close friends. Ben, tired of the ubiquitous reporters in a relationship with Jay Law, bore a new novel as the apple of his eye. In addition, Garner already needed double care - she was pregnant with the first-born. Very soon there was a daughter of actors who was given the feminine name of Violet.

Dream Family

Ben and Jennifer did not try to overtake each other in acting success. Garner, as an exemplary wife, happily began to live in the shadow of the famous spouse, focusing on careful care of him and the children. Ben and Jennifer became parents three times: in 2009, their second daughter, Serafina, was born, and in 2012 Garner presented happiness inspired husband of the heir to Samuel.

It seemed that in perfection the couple can only compete with the legendary Brangelina. But in 2013 there were first signals that in the relations between Affleck and Garner everything is far from perfect. At the "Oscar" ceremony, Ben, becoming the owner of the treasured figurine, instead of breaking his tearful speech about love, quite dryly thanked his wife for "caring for their marriage." The difficult character of the actor could not hide for a long time under the good-looking Hollywood smile - Affleck again returned to his long-time hobby for alcohol and gambling. The one whom the public considered an irreproachable spouse, often spent the night outside the house and spent many nights in bars, not with his family.

The last drop of patience

Garner long tolerated the antics of her husband and reassured herself that no one is perfect. She sought advice from numerous family psychologists, but her unlimited patience reached its limit. In June 2015, it became known that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are bred. The reason for this turn of events was also the details that surfaced outside of Affleck's unscrupulous betrayal. His secret passion was not a colleague in the shop, but nanny them with Jennifer's children!

Nevertheless, after a while, the stellar spouses again withdrew the documents on divorce. It is not known what kind of "second chance" the relationship with her husband decided to give again all-forgiving Garner, which was fit to be considered a saint. She dutifully waited until her husband realizes his mistakes, but this was not meant to come true. In April 2017, Affleck and Garner did begin the divorce process in connection with "irreconcilable differences".
