  • Jennifer Garner Receives Nothing But Praise From Her “Miracles From Heaven’ Costars

    Jennifer Garner has received nothing but praise from her Miracles from Heaven costars despite the turmoil the actress was under during filming as a result of her split from estranged husband Ben Affleck.

    The 43-year-old actress did not let her personal life interfere with her professional life even while film during the darkest days of their split, according to a report by People magazine.

    “Jen, obviously, had a lot of personal stuff going on in her life,” said Martin Henderson, 41, who stars opposite of Garner in the film. “For her, things were a lot more complicated, so it would have been understandable if she brought a lot of that stuff onto the set. And not once did she ever, and once again I thought that just speaks to her character and how [incredibly focused] and professional she is.”

    The film was under production last summer when news broke that she and Affleck were ending their 10-year marriage.

    The end of her marriage “didn’t stop her ever from arriving on time and being a trouper and giving us the best performance in every scene and never talking about anything else other than concentrating and focusing on the role,” said director Patricia Riggen. “I have great respect for her.”

    Henderson said he thought the emotional turmoil may have led Garner to dig even deeper to bring an extra quality to her performance.

    “We all like to think we have that inner strength, and having known Jen a little bit she has that same quality,” said Henderson of Garner, who is mom to to Violet, 10, Seraphina, seven, and Samuel, four. “When you see her around her children, the commitment that she has, how seriously she takes the responsibility of a mother and how she puts her kids first over everything is quite rare. In that regard, I think Jen is perfectly cast.”

  • Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner ‘Put On Their Happy Faces’ For the Kids

    Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are keeping up the appearance that all is well with their family despite their impending divorce, but for a very good cause — their three children.

    The Batman star and Garner, 43, could not save their marriage, but that doesn’t mean they want to harm their children — Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three — in the process.

    The estranged couple continues to show a happy home front by living on the same rental property in Atlanta, Ga., while Jennifer Garner films her upcoming movie, Miracles From Heaven. Ben Affleck, 42, is reportedly staying in the guesthouse of the five-bedroom, 5,114-square-foot home, to care for the children while she works. .

    “They both put on their happy faces and don’t show any signs of anger or frustration,” a source told Us Weekly of the couple who are still sporting their wedding rings.

    “They definitely play happy family in front of the kids.”

    The kids parents also work hard to insure that all three get one-on-one time with each parent. “Ben and Jen have always made a point to do that so each kid gets special bonding time,” another insider said.

    In fact, shortly after arriving in Atlanta, Affleck was spotted spending some daddy-daughter time with Violet at the Atlanta Center for Civil and Human Rights on July 9, and the little girl looked happy during the educational adventure.

    The happy home front will be maintained when the family returns to Los Angeles. Garner and Ben Affleck will renovate the guesthouse on their $17.5 million property so that Affleck can stay there, and allow them to continue co-parenting as best as they can.

    “They want to fill their children’s lives with as much love as possible and make sure they know they have two parents who love them to pieces,” a source told Us.

  • Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Can’t Seem To Summon the Courage to Remove Wedding Rings

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck can’t seem to summon the courage to remove their wedding rings after a decade of marriage.

    Garner, 42, was spotted in Atlanta, Georgia, over the weekend still sporting her silver band, while Ben Affleck still wore his during an appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday and later when he joined Garner and the kids in Atlanta.

    The Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice star jetted to Atlanta to be with his children Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three, where he stayed in the guest house of Garner’s rented property.

    Last week, the couple announced they were divorcing after 10 years of marriage, but the estranged couple seem to be holding on to what was once dear.

    Affleck kept his ring on while visiting the Center for Civil and Human Rights museums in Atlanta on Thursday with Violet.

    Ben and Jennifer reportedly plan to remain living on the same property in Los Angeles as they go through the divorce proceedings, so Affleck can be near the children.

    In what may seem surprising, the family made a trip to the Bahamas as news broke of their impending divorce. Photos snapped show two people struggling over the end of a marriage.

    “These are two people who really tried to save their marriage and worked really hard at it,” a source told People magazine.

  • Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck: What’s the Truth Behind Split Rumors?

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have covered the tabloids for weeks, with rumors of a split attaining headline news. In between these headlines are lesser-promoted articles saying the couple is doing just fine.

    Does anyone really know what’s going on–besides Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck?

    Just weeks away from their 10th wedding anniversary, one might expect Jennifer Garner and her hubby would be planning a lavish, romantic getaway.

    Us Weekly reported as recently as Wednesday that that’s definitely not the case. The publication reports that the couple is in the middle of a ‘marriage crisis.’

    “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” a source tells them of the Jennifer Garner-Ben Affleck split rumors. “The marriage is in trouble.”

    Those same sources claim the couple’s three children–Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three–are what’s holding the two together. Ben Affleck’s ‘workaholic nature’ is said to be the catalyst behind their strife. They have apparently grappled with the issue throughout their entire marriage.

    It’s sad to see any couple on the brink of a split, but especially difficult in the case of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. She has worked tirelessly to provide a stable–non-Hollywood–kind of life for their children. She has fought to keep them safe from the paparazzi and out of the celebrity limelight. Is it possible that’s not the life Ben Affleck wants?

    Of course there are still those other reports that claim things are just fine between the couple. In fact, ET Canada reports they are planning to spend the summer together as a family.

    Hopefully the rumors claiming Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are soon to split are false. So few Hollywood marriages survive intact for the length of time they have already achieved.

    It would be refreshing to see theirs survive as well.
