Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner will divorce husband Ben Affleck after 10-years of marriage.

The couple confirmed on Tuesday the split via the following statement:

“After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time."

It added: "This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.”
