First time since he parted his ways with Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck has opened up about his divorce.
During a recent interview with The New York Times, the 43-year-old actor said that he understood why Garner got so candid about her marriage meltdown in an interview last month, reports News.com.au.
Affleck said that his former wife felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over; she is allowed to talk about it.
The 'Gone Girl' star added that Garner is a great person and they are on good terms.
The estranged couple announced their shock separation last year, just a day after celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary.
Affleck was accused in the tabloids of having an affair with the family nanny, 28-year-old Christine Ouzounian, but has always denied it. Garner in her interview also said that nanny was not the reason for their separation.
