WHY SHE’S TAKING A STEP BACK
‘Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, “Sorry, figure this out yourself,”‘ an insider said, per DailyMail.
‘It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce.’
Affleck and Garner – who are parents to Violet, 18, Finn, 15 (formerly known as Seraphina), and Samuel, 12 – were previously married from 2005 until their divorce was finalized in 2018.
