Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have officially filed for divorce, putting an end to their on-off marriage.
The couple, who became known as Bennifer, announced that they were separating two years ago after ten years of marriage and have now filed court documents for divorce and joint legal and physical custody of their children, according to celebrity news website TMZ.
Just over a month ago, the couple said they were giving their relationship another go after reportedly calling off their divorce.
Affleck and Garner have remained on good terms since announcing their split in 2015 and have co-parented their three children, Violet Anne (11), Seraphina "Sera" Rose Elizabeth (7), and Samuel "Sam" Garner (5).
Affleck (44) began dating Garner (44) in 2004 after they became friends while making Pearl Harbor in 2001 and Daredevil in 2003.
E! News quoted a source last March who said: "Their relationship is very fluid and nothing has really changed. They have been working at their relationship for the past few years."
Another source was quoted as saying, "They are co-parenting. The most important thing in all of this are their kids."
At time of their amicable separation, the couple released a joint statement which said. "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce.
"We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private family matter. Thank you for understanding."
TMZ report that the couple are negotiating a financial settlement and that the divorce could become final in six months.
Affleck recently spoke to RTÉ Entertainment with his co-star Sienna Miller about his gangster film, Live By Night.
