Upon first meeting on the set of “Pearl Harbor” in 2000, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner sparked a romance that could rival any Hollywood love story. Despite their eventual split, the couple continues to co-parent their three children while maintaining a positive relationship.
During an appearance at Diesel, A Bookstore in January 2026, Garner shared a quirky detail about her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. She revealed that while living in a rental in Cambridge, Massachusetts with their young children, Affleck would listen to Beyoncé’s “Halo” on repeat while she nursed their baby. Garner jokingly declared, “I’ve survived this. I have lived through it.”
The couple’s relationship began a few years after their initial meeting, eventually leading to marriage in June 2005. However, after a decade together, they announced their split in 2015. Despite their divorce being finalized in 2018, Garner and Affleck remain supportive of each other’s careers and prioritize spending quality time together as a family.
In the film “The Town,” released in September 2010, Affleck portrays a bank robber with a compassionate side, leading to a complex narrative that affects those closest to him. Garner’s lighthearted anecdote about Affleck’s music choices sheds light on their shared history and the quirky moments that add depth to their relationship.
While their marriage may not have lasted, Garner’s candid revelation about Affleck’s music habits serves as a reminder of the everyday moments that make up a real, imperfect love story. In the midst of maintaining a positive co-parenting relationship and supporting each other’s endeavors, Garner and Affleck prove that even in separation, their bond as a family endures.
