Ben Affleck has now broken his silence on his and Jennifer Garner‘s divorce in response to her tell-all Vanity Fair interview.

In the personal chat, she debunked rumors suggesting the pair’s 10-year marriage was shattered by an alleged affair between Ben and their 28-year-old nanny, Christine Ouzounian – accusations the actor also blasted at the time of the break-up.
According to the New York Times, Affleck was initially reticent to discuss the demise of his high-profile marriage “for the sake of his three children”.
He’s feeling “angry and isolated, but he has to suck it up because Jen could destroy him at the drop of a hat if she wanted to”, the source said. So it was a great gift of this film that it took us back to finding our local Methodist church and going every Sunday. “The only difference is that I think I probably realized I needed to participate in it more and actually be reengaged and finding a church in my community instead of just going when I am home in West Virginia”. Affleck is said to be sleeping in the bedroom right next door from Jennifer, who agreed to the idea of having the actor stay in their house in the hopes that the two could work out their differences and give their marriage one last chance. In California, it’s easy to say, “Oh, yeah, I’m religious” and not really practice in any way. “It’s fine. She’s allowed to talk about it”. “She hasn’t needed to wrestle with it. Her faith was a big part of what got her through the worst of her disease”.
Portraying the real Christy Beam whose child Anna (portrayed by Kylie Rogers) suffered pseudo-obstruction motility disorder and was miraculously healed in the Patricia Riggen-helmed Christian film, “Miracles From Heaven”, Jennifer talked about the miracles in her own life.
But Garner told Vanity Fair the nanny rumours had nothing to do with the decision to split permanently. He’s the love of my life.
“It’s not Ben’s job to make me happy”, she continued.
He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous.

Star paints the picture of Jen as the doting wife and Ben a mean, cold-hearted man who cared only about himself and whose demons got the best of him.
