Amid headlines surrounding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s tumultuous divorce settlement, the Gone Girl actor’s previous marriage with Jennifer Garner caught our attention.

While on a recent note, Lopez is reportedly aiming to make Affleck suffer, it wasn’t the case for Garner when she and the actor divorced after 13 years of marriage.

Looking back at Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s divorce, it seems the Air actor lost a gem in his Daredevil co-star.

Because unlike Jennifer Lopez, who is supposedly adamant about exacting revenge—when Garner witnessed infidelity rumors surrounding Affleck, she took the high road to forgiveness and even supported the star through public outrage and hatred.

Jennifer Garner’s Modest Response to Ben Affleck’s Infidelity Rumors

With Ben Affleck‘s current divorce from Jennifer Lopez stealing headlines, it’s easy to overlook the one relationship that truly showcased Affleck’s lost treasure: his marriage to Jennifer Garner.

While Lopez reportedly seems intent on making Affleck’s life a living, breathing nightmare, Garner opted for forgiveness—a true rarity in Hollywood.

According to reports, when whispers of Ben Affleck’s infidelities began swirling, back in 2015, Jennifer Garner surprisingly chose a dignified approach to deal with it.

While the widespread rumors quickly turned Affleck into a laughing stock—Ricky Gervais openly made fun of Affleck at the Golden Globes—Garner chose to be the adult in the room.

When Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais called Matt Damon to the stage to accept his award in 2016, he introduced The Martian star as “the only person who Ben Affleck hasn’t been unfaithful to”.

Meanwhile, although this came as an insult to Jennifer Garner, the actress told Vanity Fair that she laughed after watching it.

That’s right! When the world began making fun of Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner didn’t launch a full-scale media crusade against him.

Instead of victimizing her situation, Garner calmly navigated through the storm and admitted that she was completely aware of the things going on in her marriage.

Asking people to stop advocating for her, Garner highlighted Ben Affleck’s possible regret.

Jennifer Garner Refused to Blame Their Divorce on Ben Affleck’s Rumored Affair

Well, Jennifer Garner not only urged people to stop hating Ben Affleck but also made it clear that she wasn’t about to pin the blame for their split solely on Affleck’s escapades.

The actress didn’t turn their divorce into a media spectacle; rather, she took a mature stance, insisting their marriage’s complexities went beyond gossip.

Instead of turning her divorce and Ben Affleck’s affair into the quintessential Hollywood drama, she chose to lay out the truth.

Thereafter, although Garner confirmed that Affleck’s nannygate rumors were true, she also mentioned that it wasn’t the reason behind their divorce.

While clarifying that Ben Affleck’s affair had nothing to do with their divorce, Jennifer Garner unlike the actor’s recent ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, stated a decent reason for being friends with her ex-husband, despite such severe heartbreak.

In the end, it’s clear Affleck lost more than just a wife; he lost a partner who knew how to handle the storm without becoming part of the whirlwind.
