Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner Finalize Divorce – The Kids Stay Central
After an almost two‑year saga, the former Hollywood power couple has officially called it quits. The Los Angeles Court announced on 11‑July‑18 that their divorce papers were signed, sealing the split that began in 2015.
Who’s Who
Both 46, Ben and Jen opted for a no‑lawyer, court‑directed process, and their settlement hinges on co‑parenting rather than drama.
Kids First
- Violet – 12
- Seraphina – 9
- Samuel – 6
They’ll share joint custody, and the pair has scheduled monthly co‑parenting therapy sessions to keep the vibe smooth for the little ones.
No Prenup, No Sweat on Property
Without a marriage contract, the two worked out a fair property split. It’s a win‑win for the kids, and a win‑win for both parents who still seem to respect each other.
Speedy? Not So Fast
Due to the sluggish progress, the divorce almost got dismissed earlier this year, but finally, it moved that far down the docket. The case has now become a cautionary tale about letting a divorce drag on.
New Romances & Continued Support
- Jen is now dating CEO John Miller—
- Ben has been seen with Lindsay Shookus (SNL producer) and Shauna Sexton (Playboy model).
Even though Ben is reportedly “single” now, he’s still keen on keeping things positive for Jen. Last month he took the big step of visiting her while she supported him through a rehab stint for his alcohol challenges.
“Ben will always want the best for Jen. They keep a strong relationship and try hard to make everything easy for the kids,” a source told us.
