Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner shocked the whole world when they announced their divorce.
The decision seems to be mutual and both assured fans that they will remain good friends and responsible parents to their three children. After releasing their statement, many people are still wondering what went wrong in their relationship. Is it that bad that it couldn't be fixed anymore?
Just recently, Us Weekly shared the real reason why the Hollywood couple decided to end their 10-year marriage. A good friend of the 43-year-old actress revealed that the "Gone Girl" actor have been unfaithful to her.
"Garner told her friends that Affleck had admitted to cheating with an attractive love interest," the insider said. "A devastated Garner kicked the two-time Oscar winner out of their $17.5 million home in L.A.'s Pacific Palisades, but eventually decided to forgive him."
However, a source who is close to the 42-year-old actor claims that the cheating rumors are not true.
"Ben did not cheat on Jen," the close pal said. The "Daredevil" co-stars haven't denied nor confirmed the reports but one thing is for sure - Jennifer doesn't trust her husband anymore. "She tried to leave him a few times, but he would beg her to stay," an insider said.
According to the website, they're having marital problems for years but the former "Alias" star can't leave her husband because of their kids.
"She always fought against the urge to throw her hands up in the air and walk away," their source said. "They've been on the brink of splitting up many times before, but it's Jennifer's worst nightmare for their children. Her biggest desire has always been to keep the family together."
The insider also revealed that Ben Affleck is greatly affected by his breakup with Jennifer Garner.
"This is just as hard on him and difficult for him. Any divorce is tough on everyone," their source said. "He is leaning on his mom and close friends."
Another source close to the actor wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to reports about cheating.
"We are yet to see any facts," the insider told Mail Online. "He's a dedicated father and family guy. He's never not been dedicated to his family and the fact he is in Atlanta now with the kids is an example of that."
So before judging Ben Affleck for causing a divorce with Jennifer Garner, make sure to listen to both parties.
"There are two sides to every split," the insider said.
