Summary
Jennifer Garner said her 2015 split from Ben Affleck and the family "upheaval" that followed led her to work very little for a long stretch while raising their three children.
InStyle quoted Garner saying there is "no such thing as balance" for a working mother, and that she had to accept imperfection while navigating single parenthood and career demands.
Garner said she no longer apologizes to her children for working and is now embracing acting again, with Peacock's upcoming adaptation of "The Five Star Weekend" among her new projects.
The comments add to years of public reflections from both actors after their 2005-2015 marriage, with Garner and Affleck repeatedly describing their relationship now as centered on respectful co-parenting.
