Ben Affleck 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018. They began dating in mid-2004, They were married on June 29, 2005, in a private Turks and Caicos ceremony. Victor Garber, who officiated the ceremony, and his partner, Rainer Andreesen, were the only guests. They announced their separation in June 2015, with Affleck continuing to live in a guesthouse at the family home until mid-2017. They jointly filed for divorce in April 2017 and it was finalized in October 2018. In 2020, Affleck described the divorce as “the biggest regret of my life” and “a painful experience, even if you’re on the best possible terms and you agree it’s the best choice.” Affleck and Garner have three children together: daughters Violet Anne (born December 2005) and Seraphina Rose Elizabeth (born January 2009), and son Samuel Garner (born February 2012). In their divorce filings, Affleck and Garner sought joint physical and legal custody of their children. While Affleck believes paparazzi attention is “part of the deal” of stardom, he has spoken out against photographs taken at his private residence and paparazzi interest in his children specifically, who he says became the “big money” draw for photographers waiting outside his home. In 2013, Affleck and Garner hosted an event for lawmakers at their home in support of a bill that would protect celebrities’ children from harassment by photographers; their six-year old daughter made a speech about her personal experiences. Garner also testified before the California Assembly Judiciary Committee in support of the bill, which later became law. While photographs of children may still be taken, behavior which “seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes” children is illegal, as is “lying in wait” outside their various activities. Despite the law, photographers still regularly wait outside their children’s school and police assistance is sometimes required when they get too close. In 2014, Affleck argued in favor of United Kingdom-style legislation which requires media outlets to blur children’s faces in published photos. Affleck, Garner and their daughter Violet obtained a restraining order in 2008 against Steven Burky, Garner’s longtime stalker. Burky was arrested in December 2009 outside their daughter’s preschool.
