Jennifer Garner is reflecting on how her divorce from Ben Affleck impacted her career choices.In an exclusive interview with InStyle, the "Alias" actress — who separated from Affleck in 2015 — opened up about the "upheaval" that consumed her and their three children amid their very public split."When my kids were little, I worked so little, and then we had such an upheaval in our family, that I really hardly worked for a long time," she told the outlet.JENNIFER GARNER SEEN KISSING BOYFRIEND JOHN MILLER, AS SHE SPENDS TIME WITH BEN AFFLECK FOR EASTERJennifer Garner and Ben Affleck share three children together.

"And that it is just going to be imperfect.There’s no such thing as balance.
There’s no such thing as doing it right.And when the big moments happen, you are okay, and that’s on you to know and understand so your child feels your okayness."Affleck and Garner met on the set of 2001's "Pearl Harbor," but didn't spark a romantic relationship until 2004, after starring alongside one another in the 2003 film "Daredevil." They married in 2005, but eventually called it quits in 2015. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were married from 2005 until 2015.
