Actor Ben Affleck has responded to Jennifer Garner’s in-depth Vanity Fair interview about the dissolution of their marriage.

Affleck sat down with New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff to discuss his role as Batman in the upcoming film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While doing so, the 43-year-old provided his thoughts on Garner getting so candid about their relationship.

When Affleck was asked if it was difficult for him to remain silent about his private affairs in light of Garner’s statements he said:

“It’s fine. She gets to talk about it… Jen’s great. She’s a great person. We’re on great terms. I just saw her this morning, so that’s the reality that I live in… She felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over with so she could say, ‘Look, I already talked about it – I don’t want to do it again.’ “

During Garner’s interview she said, “We still have to help each other get through this. He’s still the only person who really knows the truth about things. And I’m still the only person that knows some of his truths.”

Affleck said that Garner and their children intend on visiting him while on set so that they can all vacation together in Europe.

He added, “It never seems like a great time to have your privacy invaded. Obviously this is a particularly hard time.”
