Rumors that Ben Affleck was cheating on his wife, Jenifer Garner have been circulating. Talk of the couple divorcing has resurfaced thanks to his recent casting as The Dark Knight in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's marriage has been plagued with rumors for years now. Speculation that Affleck was cheating on Garner was widespread while he was away filming his hit films Argo and The Town. Now that Affleck has accepted the lead role in Batman vs Superman, talk of the pair calling it quits has returned. The recent casting of the super sexy Emily Ratajkowski, star of the controversial "Blurred Lines" music video, as Affleck's love interest in the upcoming film, Gone Girl, hasn't helped matters.
Affleck has had to work on marriage for a long time, as evident by his Argo Oscar speech:
"I want to thank you for working on marriage for ten Christmases. It’s good, it is work, but it’s the best kind of work, and there’s no one I’d rather work with.”
Affleck tried to then quell the rumors, by bringing his wife with him when he went on Saturday Night Live. During his monologue, he joked:
“While winning an Oscar was a huge thrill, giving an Oscar acceptance speech is completely terrifying. You may remember that in my speech I thanked my wife, while also saying that the essence of marriage is work. We work together on our marriage. Some uncharitable souls on the internet took that to mean that our marriage is some kind of manual labor.That’s not it. You define what’s important to you by what you dedicate your time to. My wife knew exactly what I meant. Would you just dispel this notion and tell the people what I meant by ‘marriage is work’?”
Affleck asked Garner who replied jokingly
“It’s a way that we talk privately about how committed we are to our marriage. I’m not sure why you had to share it live to a billion people.”
Affleck continued:
“I want to tell you how I wish I had ended that speech. I couldn’t do any of the things I do without you, without your support. You’re my angel, my life, my world.”
The touching was almost lost when Gardner called Affleck out for reading from cue cards. However, Affleck recovered by adding:
“Yeah, but it’s true. I love you.”
For now the actress is still sticking by her man, as she spoke with MTV News about his new role as Batman:
"I was excited because he had a real take on what he wanted to do. And you know, I have to say, my husband is a pretty great storyteller himself, and I'm excited to watch him do it."
