Ben Affleck feels like a less capable parent than ex Jennifer Garner

In a recent interview with host Willie Geist, actor Ben Affleck opened up about his feelings regarding his role as a parent compared to his former wife, Jennifer Garner. Affleck jokingly admitted that he tells his three children he performs about 75 percent as well as Garner does, but noted that they often humble him by suggesting his effectiveness is closer to 40 percent. Despite his self-deprecating humor, the actor expressed deep gratitude toward his ex-wife for her parenting abilities.

Affleck and Garner, who were married in 2005 and separated a decade later, share three children named Violet, Fin, and Samuel. The actor emphasized that the foundation of their co-parenting dynamic is built upon mutual respect and maintaining a healthy relationship for the benefit of their family. He spoke admiringly of Garner's parenting, acknowledging her fantastic dedication while reflecting on their ongoing efforts to support their children effectively despite the challenges of their past separation.
