Ben Affleck Didn’t Celebrate Daughter’s Birthday; Actor Struggling To Do Things Jennifer Garner’s Way

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner reportedly celebrated their daughter Violet’s 14^th birthday shortly after Thanksgiving. But it has now been revealed that the “Batman v Superman” star didn’t spend the entire day with his kids and ex-wife.

A source told Us Weekly that Affleck was busy filming in New Orleans, and he also had to go back to the set of his upcoming project shortly after the celebration.

“Ben has been filming in New Orleans and hadn’t seen the kids in a few weeks. They had a big week with Thanksgiving and Violet’s birthday. There was a lot of family time and things do come up,” the source said.

The insider added that Affleck and Garner are still struggling with their relationship because the “13 Going On 30” star wants things to be done her way. Unfortunately, Affleck just couldn’t live up to his ex-wife’s demands.

On the other hand, Garner has also been going out of her way to make sure that Affleck continues to be in their three children’s lives, but the actor hasn’t always made things easy for them.

“They are continuing to co-parent and spend holidays together but there are issues with schedules and commitments. It can be challenging to always be on the same page when you’re dealing with kids' personalities, priorities and decision making,” the source said.

But at the end of the day, Garner is still trying her best to keep everything together despite her ex-husband’s struggles and recent relapse.

Meanwhile, Affleck and Garner also made headlines recently after it was revealed that the two got into a fight in public. Photos shared online by Daily Mail showed the ex-couple seemingly arguing.

In one of the pictures, Affleck raised both of his hands in what looked like an attempt to silence Garner. Shortly after, the “Peppermint” star walked out and closed the door of her Range Rover. Details from the couple’s fight have not been revealed.
