Jennifer Garner opens up about the break down of her marriage: 'Ben is the love of my life'

In a candid interview Jennifer Garner has opened up about her seperation from second husband Ben Affleck. Speaking about the break down of their 10-year marriage with Vanity Fair, the actress revealed that despite speculation no one else was involved in their decision to seperate.

"We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. [Christine Ouzounian — the nanny] was not a part of the equation."

Despite this the 13 Going On 30 star admitted that the nanny was not a good fit for their family. "Bad judgement? Yes. It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives. I have had to have conversations about the meaning of ‘scandal’," she revealed.

Moving forward with her life, the actress said that she has no ill feelings towards her ex. "People have pain—they do regrettable things, they feel shame, and shame equals pain. No one needs to hate him for me. I don't hate him. Certainly we don't have to beat the guy up. Don't worry — my eyes were wide open during the marriage. I'm taking good care of myself."
