"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made
the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and
friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our
children, whose privacy we ask to be respected during this
difficult time," the couple said in a joint statement.
Oscar-winning Affleck, 42, and Garner, 43, starred together in
the 2003 superhero film "Daredevil" and were married in 2005 and
have three children, all under the age of 10.
They have been separated for over six months, a source with
knowledge of the situation told Reuters.
Rumors of the separation were fueled by tabloid publications
that reported moving vans were spotted near the couple's
Southern California home earlier this month.
Affleck has enjoyed a recent wave of success, with his 2012 film
"Argo" winning the best picture Oscar and more recently, his
2014 thriller "Gone Girl" becoming a box office hit.
Garner has starred in films such as "Dallas Buyers Club" and
Disney's "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very
Bad Day" in recent years.
