In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, actress Jennifer Garner confirmed the rumors surrounding her estranged husband Ben Affleck's involvement with their former nanny.
Garner revealed that she and Affleck had already been separated for several months before the scandal broke.
Christine Ouzounian, the nanny in question, was reportedly fired after having a fling with Affleck.
While Garner acknowledged that Affleck's behavior showed poor judgment, she made it clear that the affair was not the cause of their split.
She stated, “She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce.
She was not a part of the equation.”
However, Garner did express concern for the impact on their children, explaining that it was difficult for them to see someone they cared about suddenly disappear from their lives.
Garner also addressed the public's perception of Affleck, urging people not to hate him on her behalf.
She emphasized that everyone makes mistakes and feels shame, and it is important not to judge solely based on those actions.
Garner stated, “Don't worry — my eyes were wide open during the marriage.
I'm taking good care of myself.”
The couple officially announced their separation in June 2015, just days before their tenth wedding anniversary.
In her first interview since the split, Garner admitted that Affleck was the love of her life and that dealing with the media attention surrounding their breakup and the ‘nannygate' scandal had been challenging.
She explained that she made a conscious decision to stay offline and avoid reading about the situation, as it caused her unnecessary pain.
Notably, Garner emphasized that her main focus is her children and ensuring their well-being throughout the divorce process.
She expressed her commitment to always prioritize their needs and not be swayed by public opinion.
Garner stated, “I need to move with the big picture always on my mind, and the kids first and foremost.”
When news of the affair initially broke, Affleck vehemently denied any romantic involvement with Ouzounian.
However, photographs emerged showing the nanny outside his Los Angeles home, sparking further speculation.
A representative for Affleck dismissed claims of a secret romance as “BS,” but sources alleged that the two had spent time together without the children and were flirtatious.
Despite the pain and difficulties surrounding their split, Garner remains resolute in her approach to the divorce.
She chooses not to be driven by anger or hurt and instead focuses on the bigger picture.
Garner's candid interview provides insight into the complexities of their relationship and the challenges they faced, shedding light on the emotional toll divorce can take on a family.
