Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner will celebrate the 10th birthday of their youngest child on February 27.

The Daredevil castmates are also parents of two teenage daughters – 16-year-old Violet and 13-year-old Seraphina – from their decade-long marriage, which ended in 2018.

On December 14, Ben made headlines for saying he felt ‘trapped’ while married to Jennifer and wouldn’t have gotten sober had he stayed.

‘We probably would’ve ended up at each other’s throats. I probably still would’ve been drinking,’ Affleck lamented on The Howard Stern Show.

‘Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped. I was like, “I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?” And what I did was [I] drank a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution.

‘Ultimately, we tried, we tried, we tried because we had kids, but both of us felt like we didn’t want this to be the model that our kids see of marriage.’

They’ve both moved on. The five-time Emmy nominee rekindled his romance with ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez while Garner is rumored to be engaged to her on/off boyfriend since 2018, John Miller. 

Ben and the Bronx-born 52-year-old – who first dated between 2002-2004 – began texting each other again in February and made their relationship public in late April.
