Jennifer Garner Breaks Silence; Talking About Her Split From Ben Affleck

It would give you a little heartache that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck split after 10 years of marriage.

The couple was plagued by breakup rumors for months before they actually announced their separation in June of last year, and were hit with even more gossip as rumors of Affleck's reported dalliance with their children's nanny began to swirl.


Now, Garner is breaking her silence on their split for the first time in an unflinchingly personal interview with Vanity Fair, and there are few things she wants to make clear.

Their love was the real deal

“It was a real marriage,” Garner told the magazine. “It wasn’t for the cameras. And it was a huge priority for me to stay in it. And that did not work.”

Affleck was the love of her life

“I didn’t marry the big fat movie star; I married him,” the 43-year-old said. “And I would go back and remake that decision. I ran down the beach to him, and I would again. You can’t have these three babies and so much of what we had. He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that?"
But love is complicated

"He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy. I always say, ‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”

You can't blame the nanny for their split

“Let me just tell you something. We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes. It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives.”

She knows you want them to get back together

“When Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt broke up, I was dying to see something that said they were getting back together.”

Even she laughed at Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais' joke that Matt Damon was the only person Affleck hasn't been unfaithful to.

“I laughed. People have pain -- they do regrettable things, they feel shame, and shame equals pain. No one needs to hate him for me. I don’t hate him. Certainly we don’t have to beat the guy up. Don’t worry -- my eyes were wide open during the marriage. I’m taking good care of myself.”

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

EgyptAir Flight 804 Dissapears With 66 People Aboard

EgyptAir Flight 804 vanished from radar on Paris to Cairo route with 66 people aboard. The plane was flying at 37,000 feet when it lost contact overnight above the Mediterranean Sea, the airline tweeted. French President Francois Hollande said he was told the flight crashed, but Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sharif Fathi said he preferred to classify the flight as missing. "We do not deny there is a possibility of terrorism or deny the possibility of technical fault," Fathi said at a Cairo news conference. "I will continue to use the term missing plane until we find any debris." Later at the same news conference, he indicated that while there were "no known security issues" with passengers aboard the plane, the probability of terrorism downing it is higher than the likelihood of a mechanical cause. "I don't want to go to speculation. I don't want to go to assumptions like others. But if you analyze this situation prop...

Ted Cruz Loses Over Three Consecutive Trump Victories

Real estate mogul Donald Trump received victory over top rivals Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) in Tuesday's Nevada GOP caucus, setting up a particularly difficult road ahead for Cruz. Republican presidential candidate Sen.

(JOSH EDELSON via Getty Images on Monday)   Trump has now won three straight state contests and appears to be barreling toward the Republican presidential nomination, while Cruz has only won one state, Iowa. Cruz's campaign had hoped to eke out a win in Nevada based on the strength of his political organization and ground game, which helped lead him to a similar victory in the Iowa caucus earlier this month. The caucus format relies on turning out voters who are engaged enough to spend several hours participating in the political process. By contrast, Trump has lagged behind Cruz and Rubio in his organizing efforts, and political observers expre...
