Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner had been separated for two years before they got divorced, but it was important to the couple to continue co-parenting their three children under the same roof. Affleck technically stayed in the guest house of their Los Angeles home where he could be close to the kids while also giving Garner and himself space to be alone. The “Flash” actor finally moved out of the guesthouse in May 2017, per Entertainment Tonight.
“It has been a continual move for him over the past couple of weeks,” a source told ET. “Ben and Jen wanted to make it a slow transition for their family and make sure the kids feel comfortable in both houses. The kids are good. Ben and Jen are working closely together to make sure the kids are doing fine during this transition and that it doesn’t interrupt their lives too much. They have their own traditions and things they’ll do together as a family still.”
Following Affleck’s move, Garner bought a 3,245 square-foot home in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood in February 2019 — a downsize from the 8,798 square-foot home she shared with Affleck but with plenty of space for her three children. Affleck did the opposite, choosing to upgrade to a massive 13,454 square-foot mansion in the Pacific Palisades (via US Weekly).
