Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce in October 2018, more than three years after they announced their separation in June 2015. The two tied the knot in June 2005 after costarring in “Pearl Harbor” and “Daredevil,” and share three children together: daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel.
Affleck posted to his Instagram that he had completed a 40-day inpatient rehab program for alcohol abuse, and it was reported in August that Garner was key in getting him to treatment after an intervention. It was reported that Garner was only holding off on finalizing the divorce until she was certain Affleck was maintaining his sobriety before agreeing to finalize any custody arrangements for their three kids.
According to court documents, “The two met at Garner’s house with lawyers and a private judge on Thursday, a day after news broke that Garner had requested the private judge to handle the final details of the divorce.” Although the two announced their separation in 2015, they simultaneously filed for divorce in April of last year.
Since her divorce from Affleck, Garner appeared at The 2018 Rape Foundation Annual Brunch in Beverly Hills to benefit The Rape Treatment Center and Stuart House at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center. Garner also spoke at the event.
