Ben Affleck embarrassed with Jennifer Garners marriage confessions

Last week, Jennifer Garner’s interview in Parade Magazine came online, and many were surprised with how much Jennifer revealed. Mostly, I was surprised with how much Garner discussed her divorce to Scott Foley seven years ago, but she also talked with some detail about how her current husband Ben Affleck, saying that he is a “very persuasive” and “very good” writer, and that he may have wooed her via e-mail initially, I think. Jennifer also said that Ben is “sexy and kind, but he’s also a riot. We can be very goofy together” and that they steal time away together, “You steal a date, you steal a kiss, you steal a whisper.”

Well, Ben is now at Sundance, promoting his new film The Company Men, and it seems like most of the questions he’s been fielding are about his wife and those pesky e-mails. Which seems to be annoying Ben:

BEN AFFLECK has chastised his wife Jennifer Garner, after she embarrassed him by revealing he pursued her with a string of seductive emails.

Garner, who married the Pearl Harbor star in 2005, said in a recent interview with Parade Magazine that Affleck had wooed her online, gushing that he’s “sexy and kind” and a “very persuasive writer”.

But the candid comments left Affleck cringing, because now he is repeatedly fielding questions about his personal emails in interviews.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, Affleck says, “I do write e-mails to my wife, that is true. Sounds like the kind of thing that my wife was looking for something to say in the interview… and that’s what she came up with. So, thanks for that, because now here I am, doing another interview and then they ask me about that. So, thank you honey.”

I also saw on E! News last night that all Ben Lyons seemed to want to talk about was Jennifer and Ben’s directing of Blake Lively in The Town. Ben seemed to take the questioning in stride, not saying much about Blake (especially not anything about his rumored crush on her), but calling Jennifer a “fantastic” mom. Anyway, The Company Men sounds like a real downer of a movie, but it’s nice to see Affleck working in dramas again. It costars Rosemary DeWitt (she was on the first season of Mad Men, and in Rachel Getting Married) as Affleck’s character’s wife (below):
