Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are officially divorced after three years of separation and over a year since they first started the process to divorce. Although the exes have no signs of romantic reconciliation, Jen has been a huge influence on his recovery, which he emotionally posted about on Instagram yesterday. Court documents obtained by People reveal the two met at Jen’s house with lawyers and a private judge on Thursday, October 4, to finalize the divorce.
Ben and Jen, both 46, married in 2005 and have since had three children together. They co-parent Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Amid his rehabilitation stint, Ben and Jen have been trying their best with family activities such as a recent visit to church.
The Justice League actor was brought to rehab in August after his now ex-wife Jen staged an intervention.
In an emotional post on Instagram Ben wrote, “The support I have received from my family, colleagues and fans means more to me than I can say. It’s given me the strength and support to speak about my illness with others," most likely in reference to Jen.
