"I could not handle what was out there": Jennifer Garner on her divorce from Ben Affleck

In a genuine moment of confession, the actor said, "You have to be smart about what you can and can't handle, and I could not handle what was out there. But what was out there was not what was hard. The fact of it is what was hard. The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard. Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard".

Jennifer shared that with added media scrutiny, going through such a personal crisis was made more difficult. "Not hard in the grand scheme of what is hard in the world, but tricky for me and tricky for my family. I make a big, concerted effort to see my people as much as I can, because that's what matters".

The 53-year-old actor added that by confiding more in the people that she loves, she has stepped away from the media interest in her private life.
