"Three weeks ago, Jennifer Garner broke her silence on her split from actor Ben Affleck with a full Vanity Fair cover story devoted to their break-up. Garner talked very candidly about Nannygate, her heartbreak, her feelings for Ben now, and comparing it all to Jennifer Aniston's divorce from Brad Pitt. Garner said, "He's [Ben's] the love of my life," she said at one point. "I always say, 'When his sun shines on you, you feel it.' But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He [Ben] can cast quite a shadow." In an earlier interview with The New York Times, Ben commented the next day after the Vanity Fair piece dropped, and while he wasn't keen about talking about his private life (because it ends up being in the record somewhere, in the great miasma of junk on the internet) the actor did admit:
"I knew about the piece before it was published. Jen felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over with," Ben explained, "So she could say, 'Look, I already talked about it - I don't want to do it again.' It's fine. She's allowed to talk about it."
The pair really are, as Jennifer Garner told Vanity Fair herself, doing fine (Ben-lending-Jennifer Garner-his-sweater-fine.) When asked by the reporter if Jennifer Garner speaking about their split made it impossible for him to maintain his silence, he responded with a compliment to his ex-wife:
"She's [Jennifer Garner'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." When Brad Pitt separated from Jennifer Aniston he spoke similar words of kindness in regards to his ex-wife. After their split Pitt said about Aniston, "I believe that decision (the decision Brad and Aniston made to split) was good for us. We're getting along. We really care about each other." It's very easy to draw comparisons to the couples of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's separations with each having been in such high-profile relationships. In the end celebrities are people too, and sometimes it [marriage] works and sometimes it does."
