Ben Affleck And Jennifer Garner Announce Divorce

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' star Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner have announced they're splitting after 10 years of marriage.

The couple made the joint press statement saying, "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding."

Ben Affleck, 42, and Jennifer Garner, 43, have three children together. They are: Violet, 9; Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 6; and Samuel Garner, 3. The couple first met while working in the Michael Bay film Pearl Harbor (2001), but love blossomed between the two when they came back together to work in the 2003 superhero movie 'Daredevil'. The couple then got married in 2005 in a high profile wedding.

This will be Affleck's first divorce and Garner's second divorce after her previous marriage to Scott Foley.
