Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner to divorce
"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce," said a joint statement by the couple, who have three children together.
"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, " they said in a statement.
The 42-year-old Affleck and 43-year-old Garner started dating shortly after meeting on the set of "Daredevil" in 2003 and married two years later.
They will share joint custody of their three children - Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and three-year-old Samuel.
A decade of marriage
Affleck, who won best screenplay Oscar for 1997's "Good Will Hunting" and best picture Academy Award for "Argo" in 2013, stars as Batman in the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" movie.
Garner, known for movies including Oscar-winning "Dallas Buyers Club" and 2007's "Juno," won a Golden Globe for best TV drama actress in 2002 for the series "Alias."
Affleck and Garner did not have a prenuptial agreement on dividing their fortunes in case of divorce, according to TMZ.
But the website, citing multiple sources, said discussions between lawyers were going "smoothly," adding that Affleck is not much richer than Garner, who it said made a "massive amount of money" off of "Alias."
Affleck was previously linked to stars, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez - the couple were known as Bennifer.
