Ben Affleck, in a startling new revelation, has broken his silence on the real reason behind the dissolution of his marriage to Jennifer Garner. The actor admits that the true catalyst for their divorce was none other than Blake Lively, the actress he starred with in the 2010 film The Town.

This bombshell revelation has left Hollywood and fans alike stunned. After years of speculation and rumors, Ben Affleck is finally coming clean about how Blake Lively’s presence on set destroyed his marriage to America’s sweetheart, Jennifer Garner. But what exactly happened during the filming of The Town, and why has Ben only now decided to speak out after all these years?

The Town’s Cast: A Key Moment in Ben’s Marriage

In 2010, when The Town was being cast, it wasn’t just another typical casting decision. Blake Lively, at the time, had to fight hard for the role of Krista Coughlin. Insiders reveal that Lively auditioned several times before the producers were convinced. Her intense passion for the role was clear; she was determined to portray a character that was completely different from anything she had done before. Lively’s emotional connection to the character and her commitment were apparent, and it was clear she was willing to go to great lengths to secure the part.

But here’s where it gets interesting: Ben Affleck, who was not only directing the film but also starring in it, pushed hard for Blake Lively to land the role despite objections from the producers. Why would an established actor and director go against his team’s recommendations for a relatively unknown actress? The answer is beginning to emerge.

Ben and Blake’s On-Set Chemistry

According to sources close to Ben, the chemistry between him and Blake was undeniable. During auditions, their connection was so palpable that it was almost uncomfortable. One insider revealed that it was clear the two were “all over each other” during the process. At the time, Ben was married to Jennifer Garner, and the couple had three children together. Their fifth wedding anniversary was approaching, but behind the scenes, cracks were already starting to form in their marriage.

Ben admitted that he was instantly attracted to Blake’s energy and ambition. She made him feel important and admired—something he later confessed was missing in his marriage at the time. This feeling of validation seemed to be enough to stir his emotions. However, Jennifer Garner was no fool. She immediately became suspicious when Ben cast the 23-year-old Lively as his love interest on set. To make matters worse, Ben was adding more intimate scenes between the characters, something that raised even more red flags for Jennifer.

Jennifer Garner’s Growing Concerns

Jennifer, who had always been supportive of Ben’s career, started visiting the set with their children. She made her presence known, but what she observed confirmed her worst fears. It was clear that the relationship between Ben and Blake was anything but professional. The way they looked at each other was more than just acting—it was personal. Jennifer was devastated.

Sources say Jennifer tried to address her concerns with Ben, but he denied any wrongdoing. He insisted that their interactions were purely professional and in service of their roles. However, the tension between the couple continued to build. One day, Jennifer reportedly picked up Ben’s phone and discovered text messages from Blake that were anything but professional. That was the breaking point.

Jennifer confronted Ben, and while he denied a physical affair, he could not deny the emotional connection that had developed between him and Blake. This admission shattered Jennifer. It was clear to her that the emotional distance in their marriage was growing, and her husband was slipping away.

Press Tour Chaos and a Growing Rift

The press tour for The Town only made matters worse. The chemistry between Ben and Blake was so obvious that interviewers started taking note. The pair’s body language spoke volumes. They finished each other’s sentences, shared private jokes, and exchanged knowing looks. Fans and media outlets began to notice how close they were, and despite not being an official couple, the rumors were relentless.

At the same time, Blake broke up with her long-term boyfriend, Penn Badgley, and the timing seemed suspicious to Jennifer. Was this the beginning of something more? The public’s fascination with Ben and Blake’s relationship didn’t help matters. They were seen together at premieres and press junkets, and the media couldn’t stop speculating about their relationship.

Jennifer, however, tried to maintain her dignity. She kept up appearances, but at home, the arguments with Ben became more frequent. According to friends, Jennifer directly asked Ben if he was having an affair with Blake, to which he denied. But the emotional connection was undeniable, and Jennifer was heartbroken. She realized she was losing her husband—emotionally, if not physically.

The History Repeating Itself

What makes this story even more painful for Jennifer is the fact that Ben’s relationship with Blake mirrored how his romance with Jennifer had begun years earlier. In 2003, Ben was engaged to Jennifer Lopez, but he broke it off when he met Jennifer Garner on the set of Daredevil. Now, history seemed to be repeating itself, this time with Blake Lively.

Ben’s tendency to fall for his co-stars while in committed relationships became a pattern, and Jennifer was now facing the same heartbreak Jennifer Lopez had endured years earlier.

The Fallout and the Final Straw

In 2014, Ben was offered a role alongside Ryan Reynolds, but Jennifer reportedly forbade him from taking the role. The reason? She didn’t want to be in the same room as Blake, who was by then married to Ryan Reynolds. This was a clear sign that Jennifer was still deeply hurt by the emotional affair between Ben and Blake.

Despite the tension, Ben ultimately respected Jennifer’s wishes, which insiders say was his way of acknowledging the pain he had caused. But by then, the damage was done. The trust was broken, and the cracks in their marriage were irreparable.

In the end, their divorce was finalized in 2018, but sources close to the couple say that the real breaking point came years earlier during the filming of The Town. The subsequent scandals—like the nanny affair—were merely the aftermath of a marriage that was already crumbling.

Blake Lively’s Reputation in Freefall

While Blake eventually moved on to relationships with Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Reynolds, her reputation has been tainted by the revelations surrounding her role in Ben and Jennifer’s marriage. She is now facing a serious public relations crisis, with her carefully crafted image as America’s sweetheart crumbling.

Interestingly, sources say that Blake’s behavior on set wasn’t limited to just her relationship with Ben. Former co-stars, including Army Hammer, have shared stories about her difficult behavior, and her strained relationship with Leighton Meester on Gossip Girl is well-documented. The pattern of behavior is beginning to emerge: Blake seems to have a history of getting involved with her married co-stars and emerging with her image intact, while the women she hurt are left to pick up the pieces.

As for Jennifer, she has since rebuilt her life, found love again with businessman John Miller, and is thriving both personally and professionally. Her dignified silence over the years has earned her widespread public sympathy.

In the end, Ben’s admission has exposed a painful chapter in his life, and it is clear that Blake Lively’s presence on set played a pivotal role in the demise of his first marriage. What do you think? Is Ben justified in his revelation, or is Blake being unfairly painted as the villain in this Hollywood drama? Drop your thoughts below.
