The "Hard" Truth: It Wasn't the Gossip

The Real Pain: The actress confessed that the true heartbreak was losing her partner.
"The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard. Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard," Garner admitted.
The Media Blackout: She also revealed that she had to stop looking at the internet to survive. "You have to be smart about what you can and can't handle, and I could not handle what was out there," she said, gesturing to the "noise" of the media.
Healing Takes Time (and Silence)
Now 53, Jennifer is in a much better place, but she wants women to know there is no shortcut.
Her Advice: She shared a beautiful message for anyone going through a breakup:
"Time is the opportunity to heal. Time is the opportunity to forgive, to move on, and to find a new way to be friends." And they have done just that! Ben and Jen are now Hollywood’s "Gold Standard" for co-parenting, often spotted laughing together at their kids' basketball games.
