Ben Affleck Jennifer Garner divorce news: Ben Responds To Jennifer's Vanity Tell-All Account About Their Divorce

Weeks after Jennifer Garner poured her heart out in Vanity's tell-all interview, it is now time for Ben Affleck to respond on how he thought about the divorce. Although, Affleck's interview is not solely about the split but on his upcoming movie, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, one cannot completely put his personal life under the rug.

"It never seems like a great time to have your privacy invaded. Obviously this is a particularly hard time," the actor told the interviewer from the NY Times.

The source said that they have been planning to interview Affleck long before Jennifer Garner was slated for VF's tell-all piece. But then, a day before the interview, the source just learned that Garner's piece had already been published.

"She felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over with, so she could say, 'Look, I already talked about it - I don't want to do it again,' he said.

In the session, the award-winning actor talks lengthily about his newest Marvel project and had been reluctant to open up about his personal life 'because it ends up being in the record somewhere, in the great miasma of junk on the Internet.'

The actor also confirmed the civil co-parenting setup that he and Jen were engaged in that took place after their announcement to divorce back in June last year.

"Jen's great. She's a great person. We're on great terms. I just saw her this morning, so that's the reality that I live in," he said.

Since their divorce, rumors surrounded the couple particularly about Ben's alleged infidelity, drinking, gambling problems and tattoos. But in the Vanity Fair interview, the Miracles in Heaven star tried to pacified the public and asked them to stop hating Ben Affleck.

"I laughed. People have pain-they do regrettable things, they feel shame, and shame equals pain. No one needs to hate him for me. I don't hate him. Certainly we don't have to beat the guy up. Don't worry-my eyes were wide open during the marriage. I'm taking good care of myself," she said.

As to how being Batman affected the actor's relationship with his kids, he said, "Whenever there's a FedEx delivery, he's like, 'Dad, the Joker's outside. The burden's on me to go out there and give the guy an extra 20 bucks to pantomime a whole Adam West kung fu battle," he said.
