“I was not happy, but because of the children I could not leave … That was one of the reasons I reached for the cup“said Affleck, who has a total of three heirs from his ex-wife – Violet, Serafina and Samuel, left in his mother’s care.

He also stressed that they made efforts to save their relationship, but things did not work out.
“We did try, but both she and I realized it was pointless. We parted amicably. We did our best. Have we had moments of tension? Have we had any disagreements about custody? Were things difficult for us? Are we angry? Yes, but respect has always been at the core. I knew she was a good mother. I always hoped she knew I was a good father. I knew I was“, he clarifies.

Asked about the allegation, repeatedly circulated in the American press, that he cheated on Garner with their babysitter before they separated, Affleck categorically denied, describing the story as “complete nonsense.” His response was apparently satisfactory enough for the presenter, as he never raised the issue of nude photos he downloaded on the Internet in 2009, which a number of media outlets reported at the time had exchanged with his colleague Blake Lively during the photos of the movie “The City”.
Presumably, Ben’s revelations not only irritated but also greatly disappointed his ex-wife, who many said did not deserve such a blow from him, as she had always supported him and never even said a slander against him, no matter how difficult he went through because of his addiction to drinking and mosquitoes.

However, according to the website Radar Online, the star of “I woke up at 30” is not the only one dissatisfied with what he heard, because it infuriated Affleck’s current partner – Jennifer Lopez.
