When Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their divorce, the whole world wanted to know why. Now, cheating rumors are flying around.
One friend told Us Weekly that Affleck admitted to Garner that he cheated on her with another woman. The source says Garner then kicked him out of the house but later took him back for a period of time. “She tried to leave him a few times, but he would beg her to stay,” a source told the magazine.
Those close to Ben Affleck insist he did not cheat on Jennifer Garner. But his destructive behavior, including drinking and gambling, reportedly was too much for her to handle. “She loved Ben,” another pal told People. “But there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough and take care of yourself.”
Whether or not Ben Affleck cheated on Jennifer Garner, there were clearly other issues in their marriage. Sources say Affleck’s constant travels for work took a toll on the marriage. Insiders say Affleck felt he should be the primary breadwinner, while Garner should focus on raising the couple’s three kids. This led to tension between the stars because Garner wanted him to be present in the marriage. Not away for long stretches of time.
“He’s like a `50s dad,” a source told People. “He thinks work is your priority and providing money for your family is your priority, and raising the kids day to day and making a nice house is the wife’s priority.”
Whatever caused Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s divorce, they are trying to make things as amicable as possible. Just days after the split announcement, the couple went on vacation together in the Bahamas. They also plan to live on the same property so they can co-parent their kids.
“The family felt it was important to be together and they were together. The family is united and, no matter what, will protect the kids,” a source told People.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are also trying to move on. Affleck has already been seen without his wedding ring (though Garner was photographed wearing hers). And they are trying to be as honest as possible to their kids about the split. “She’s such a good mom and she’s honest with them – she’s not sugar-coating this,” a friend of the actress told People.
