be gutted about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner?

[Northernlurker]

I've just read that they ARE divorcing. I was hoping it was all vicious rumour. They seemed like a genuine, real couple. Can nobody ever stay married in Hollywood?
It's coming to something when Warren Beatty, Warren Beatty , is an example of marital solidarity.

I don't think Hollywood is any different to RL to be honest.

Some marriages last and some don't.

It's always sad.

Well, rumour has it that he (WB)'s up to his old tricks too...

But yes, it's oddly sad. There's something really nice about her.

I was sad to read this too. I know we dont know them, and no one ever knows what goes on behind closed doors. But ten years and three kids and seemingly so down to earth (her anyways).

So sad. Hopefully they will be happier now.

I whimpered a little when i saw this.

I could literally count on one hand the amount of couples (who are not of my parent's generation) who haven't divorced.

I'm including in that, those who didn't actually marry but lived together and had kids.

None of them are Hollywood stars.

So what youre telling me is that Ben Affleck is single?

You're gutted about someone you don't know is getting divorced? Really?

I was sad too if I'm honest. Probably silly but I was.

I thought Warren Beatty was on dodgy ground too?

affleck sounds like a flippin' nightmare tbh.

I'm late thirties and all our contemporaries are still on their first marriage. That said there have been some horrendous carryings on with a couple of my older dds' friends parents. Probably early forties and yikes! Very messy.

And no I wouldn't trust WB as far as I could thrown him but still - 23 years of marriage is quite good for Hollywood.

And yes Ben appears to be single

My instinctive reaction to hearing this scurrilous rumour news when it first surfaced was:

"What did Ben do??"

Still feeling it. He must have a guilty face or something.

I feel sorry for the kids.

There have been rumours about him gambling for a long time. I hope that isn't the case.

Have met them in RL. He's got massive issues and she has tried everything to help him and support him. He really has lost an amazing person. He's on a downward spiral and she is well rid of him.

According to the DM, Gwyneth said much the same thing.

Tbh a 23 year marriage is worth fuck all if theres dodgy business going on with either or both parties. Far better a happy marriage for 10 years running its course and choosing to separate than remaining married and forgiving/turning a blind eye to all sorts. Length of marriage means nothing if the quality isnt there.

Oh, I was hoping this was rumours too. She looks so, I dunno, normal. Its sad for their whole family

WHO couldnt care less

There have been hints on some gossip blogs for a while that he has been cheating as well as gambling, and that she has had the patience of a saint but it has finally run out.

That's ok samsam, we all know if this was Brad and Angelina you'd be crying like a baby

As an aside, I got surprisingly upset about ole Patrick swazye being dead again the other day when dirty dancing was on. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be touched by that sam

Even regular people in Hollywood/LA are like this. I sadly have first hand experience.

Will Smith has been married for 17 years.

John Travolta has been married 24 years.

So there is some hope that it can last.

The rumours have been around for ages. I don't know them but I've always liked her and her sidebar of shame trip to farmers markets.

John Travolta as a marriage paragon!!! Hahahahaha.
