Ben Affleck 'breaks down' talking about Jen

After making the move to officially end their marriage earlier this year, Ben Affleck has been reduced to tears when talking about soon-to-be ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

While recieving the humanitarian award at the Starkey Hearing Foundation Gala in St Paul, Minnesota, over the weekend, the 44-year-old actor choked up when recalling a story about his family.

"When I told my oldest daughter that I was getting this award, she said, 'Yeah, Dad. Mom already has that one,'" an emotional Ben told the crowd, according to Daily Mail.

The Argo star continued, adding he was in "good company" with Jen also taking home the same award in 2016.

Despite ending their decade-long marriage in 2015, Ben and Jen only filed divorce papers in April this year, with Ben moving out of the family home in early May.

The couple have three children together, daughters Violet, 11 and Seraphina, eight, and five-year-old son Samuel, and have previously said they are committed to co-parenting their young brood.

Last week Ben seemingly confirmed he had moved on, stepping out with rumoured new girlfriend Lindsay Shookus around LA.

However it appears the SNL producer opted for a night in, with Daily Mail adding Ben went dateless to the event.

Amid reports last week that Lindsay and Ben had taken their relationship to the next level and moved in together, fresh claims suggested Jen confronted her former hubby about his relationship with Lindsay as far back as 2013!

The 45-year-old actress allegedly found out about Ben's womanising ways and took matters into her own hands.

"Lindsay refused to back down or quit the affair," an insider told People magazine, revealing Jen confronted the Saturday Night Live producer about her involvement with her then-husband.

Lindsay was also married at the time to fellow SNL producer Kevin Miller. They spilt in 2014.
