 The "Miracles from Heaven" star, who filed for divorce in
April nearly two years after the A-list Hollywood couple first
split, took the rare step of distancing herself from a People
magazine cover story that speculated about when she might start
dating again.
Garner and Affleck's split in 2015 after a 10-year marriage has
been one of the most talked-about breakups in Hollywood,
especially as Affleck continued to live on the family property.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Garner said she wanted to set
the record straight about any suggestions that the People
magazine June 12 issue cover picture and story came from her.
"I did not pose for this cover. I did not participate in or
authorize this article," Garner, 45, wrote.
She added that it was "not unusual for me to receive calls from
loved ones thinking I forgot to tell them I am pregnant--with
twins!--(Geez Louise), but those are so ridiculous they're easy
to ignore.
"This isn't a tragedy by any measure, but it does affect me and
my family and so, before my mom's garden club lights up her
phone, I wanted to set the record straight.

 "For what it's worth: I have three wonderful kids and my
family is complete," she wrote.
Affleck, 45, the director of Oscar-winning movie "Argo,"
announced in March that he had been in rehab for alcohol
addiction and thanked Garner for her support. A month later they
filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The
divorce has not been finalized.
The People magazine story quoted an unidentified insider as
saying that Garner is focusing on the future and would
eventually think about dating again.
People magazine said in a statement on Thursday that the
publication "covers Hollywood stars beloved by our audience, and
our story on Jennifer Garner is fair and truthful. To be clear,
it does not include rumors and does not say she's pregnant. We
wish her well."
