Jennifer Garner andBen Affleck are trying to co-parent in the best way possible for their children. The13 Going on 30actor revealed there are some needed adjustments and "a bit of a loss" when trying to make things work.
There's no denying that Garner and Affleck were one of the "it" couples of the early 2000s before they announced their divorce in 2015. The two share three children, Fin, Violet, and Samuel, who are now 17, 20, and 13 years old.
Garner spoke about the dynamics of co-parenting with her ex on Bustle’s One NightstandYouTube series. She discussed how she tackles raising her children with a conscientious upbringing, and admits she has to take on two parental roles.
"I think that I do a bit of both. And I think my kids’ dad does too. Especially when your kids grow up in two separate households, I become mom and dad, and he becomes dad and mom," said Garner.
"You kind of can’t help it, right? Because you don’t have the benefit of both sides of the yin and yang being in the same house," she added.
The Elektra actor goes on to say that there is a "little bit of a loss in that," but does admit that there are aspects to be gained from the experience as well. She also realized it's a learning experience and to "let go and not focus so much on bringing up."
