I work hard, and then I go home and pick up the kids from school.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have dinner if they agree to hang out with me. They\u2019re with me for a week, then with their mom for a week. They have a great thing with their mom, for whom I\u2019m also really, really grateful.<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know things will come up that are hard, and I don\u2019t want to jinx that, but this time in my life as a human being is really wonderful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBen, 54, also explained why he wants to stay based in Los Angeles for work, rather than travelling the world.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I\u2019m divorced, I have shared custody, and I don\u2019t want to miss these years. My kids are here, and their life is flying by.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I don\u2019t want to have to be in Shreveport or New Mexico in order to work. I know some people don\u2019t have the luxury of making those choices.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019m certainly fortunate, but I know from experience that the best crews in the world are in LA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBen recently insisted striking up romances is not a &#8220;big priority in my life&#8221; right now following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, as he is focused on work and being present for his and Garner&#8217;s children.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told Entertainment Tonight: &#8220;I work a lot, and I see my kids, and there&#8217;s not a lot of room. I\u2019m not running around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBen insists he is in a &#8220;good place&#8221; since he and Lopez, 57, finalised their divorce in January 2025 after two years of marriage.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Good Will Hunting star added: &#8220;I\u2019m good and I\u2019m happy. I know what my priorities are. You can\u2019t have two things that are the most important in your life.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;For me that\u2019s the kids. So that&#8217;s what that is. And then I have my work, which I love. And, you know, I\u2019m where I\u2019m at, and I\u2019m great.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Who knows what adventures life will bring? I\u2019m open to it, but I\u2019m not trying to chase anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/ben-affleck-reveals-truth-parenting-jennifer-garner-1451836.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 October 2026 Ben Affleck has a &#8220;wonderful&#8221; co-parenting relationship with Jennifer Garner.
