Jennifer Garner lifts lid on Ben Affleck co-parenting years after tumultuous divorce

Jennifer Garner called ex-husband Ben Affleck an “incredible co-parent” to their three kids. The “Five Star Weekend” star — who shares Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13, with the actor — told Entertainment Weekly that she was only able to take on her role in the new Peacock series because of Affleck’s help. “When it was offered to me, it was supposed to shoot, I think, in Nova Scotia,” explained Garner, who portrays Hollis Shaw on the show, a food influencer who is grieving the loss of her husband. “I said, ‘I would love to do it, but like everything, I really only work in LA. I have three teenagers, and I can’t leave for four months. It’s just not worth it to me.'” Jennifer Garner gushed about ex-husband Ben Affleck (pictured here together in 2014) in a new interview.
