Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, once seen as a model couple in Hollywood, ended their over 10-year marriage, but they have managed to maintain a friendly relationship while co-parenting their three children. Garner, who rose to fame in the TV series Alias, faced challenges during her divorce and turned to work to navigate through the difficult times. In the film Wakefield, she worked alongside Bryan Cranston and revealed the struggles she faced while filming an intimate scene with him.
Having been single for several months after her divorce, Garner admitted feeling out of touch with intimacy and found the experience strange. Despite her initial discomfort, she remained committed to her role, pushing through the challenges that came with it.
During this period of personal turmoil, Garner also took on the emotionally demanding role in Miracles from Heaven, delivering a powerful performance that showcased her talent and emotional range.
“When you haven’t been kissed for over eight months it’s strange. But it’s my job. It’s nine in the morning and you think, I could really use a shot of alcohol. Then, after a take or two, after everyone has seen your b**bs and love handles, you just want to take every crew member and be like, ‘Please have mercy on me!’ ”
Aside from her professional accomplishments, Garner formed a deep bond with her Alias co-star Victor Garber, who portrayed her on-screen father. Their connection goes beyond the show, as Garber has been a constant source of support in Garner’s life. He served as the officiant at her wedding to Affleck in 2005 and is the godfather to their children. Garner greatly values her friendship with Garber, describing him as one of the most important people in her life. Their strong bond has endured over time, and Garber’s advice holds significance for Garner in various aspects of her personal life.
From the first moment we met. there was this inexplicable chemistry and connection, this understanding that we were on the same page. She’s one of the most important people in my life.
While the divorce marked a significant transition in Garner’s life, she continues to navigate her career and relationships with grace and resilience. Her openness about the challenges she faced during this period reflects her authenticity and determination to overcome obstacles both personally and professionally.
