The divorce came after the couple's 10th anniversary suggesting Garner will benefit
Mumbai: Batman star Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner announced their split yesterday but reportedly they got separated more than six months ago.
The couple, who have three children nine-year-old Violet, six-year-old Seraphina, and three-year-old Samuel together, announced their split in a joint statement.
They marked their 10th anniversary early this week.
Affleck, 42, who has been staying in hotels in recent months, will live on the property of their Brentwood marital home, but will not share the main house, sources said.
Affleck and Garner, 43, are using a mediator to work out the divorce, reported the New York Post.
"This isn't going to end up in a dramatic court case, they are trying to resolve it as quickly and easily as possible."
"Ben and Jennifer have been separated for more than six months. They have been seeing counsellors for years. The situation is that people change and they grow apart," said a source.
The two will apparently share the custody of their daughters and son. "They plan to share custody and co-parent their kids," the insider said.
After the heart-breaking news of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck divorce, the date of the devastating announcement is being speculated.
Tabloid media claims that the couple decided to make the announcement a day after their 10th anniversary so that the 43-year-old actress could get benefit while negotiating the settlement during their divorce, reported ABC News.
Earlier this year, Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, who were married for more than a decade, too had parted their ways just like the 'Gone Girl' actor and his wife.
