Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have long been the subject divorce rumors. The rumors skyrocketed after Ben referred to his marriage as “work” in his Argo Oscar acceptance speech.
Shortly after that Ben was suspected of cheating on Garner with his Gone Girl co-star Emily Ratajkowski, as sites like Hollywood Gossip documented.
Back in 2012, Affleck admitted to Details Magazine that he trouble balancing his work and home life (via Daily Mail):
“'I am not very present in the rest of my life.My wife's very patient. She does everything.If I have time, I try to spend time with the kids, even if just to be a physical presence, the bath, whatever. But my mind's always going, 'How are we going to light that shot tomorrow? What's the master shot for that scene? Is there even going to be a master?’...Just ruminating endlessly. Because for me -- I wish it was discipline or being a great artist. But it's just anxiety."
Now, that Affleck has taken on the monumental task of signing on to a multi-picture deal as Batman, new rumors are starting surface about the state of his relationship with his wife.
The alleged rift between Affleck and Garner reportedly lead to him walking out on her birthday, as THG reports.
