Actress Jennifer Garner, 41, graces the September cover of Allure magazine. Inside the pages she talks about how she intentionally keeps her identity separate from that of her highly successful actor hubby Ben Affleck.
A case in point is how the couple approach walking the red carpet — they usually pose separately. She said, “It’s a very conscious decision. Sometimes it’s a pain because my heels are so high and it would be nice to have his arm.”
“And he’s such a great date! But it can be too much. I think especially for women, they can really lose their identity and just become ‘wife of’ so and so.”
They won’t be partnering on the big screen either. She stated emphatically “Really, you don’t want to see a couple onscreen. People see paparazzi shots of us together all the time. There’s no mystery . . . People are sick of us.”
Affleck and Garner met in 2003 on the set of ‘Daredevil’ and began dating the following year and wed in 2005. They are frequently photographed while out and about with their three adorable children, Violet, 7, Seraphina, 4, and Sam, 17 months.
Garner’s next film, ‘The Dallas Buyer’s Club,’ is slated to hit theaters in mid-December. She is also set to begin filmed ‘Draft Day’ and ‘Imagine,’ for 2014 release.
The Allure interview hits newsstands beginning August 20.
