Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are to divorce. After weeks of speculation about the state of their 10-year marriage, the couple has released a statement confirming the sad news. It reads: “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children, whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.” The stars wed in 2005 and have three kids together – 9-year-old Violet, 6-year-old Seraphina, and 3-year-old Samuel.
