“After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple said in a statement to People at the time.
“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. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.”

In 2020, Affleck sat down with the New York Times where he revealed that the divorce was one of his biggest regrets.
“The biggest regret of my life is this divorce,” he told the media outlet. “Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame. It’s just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing.
“I have certainly done things that I regret,” he added. “But you’ve got to pick yourself up, learn from it, learn some more, try to move forward.”
