Longest Celebrity Divorces: Photos
Some Hollywood marriages weren’t made to last forever, but you’d be surprised to learn how many celebrity divorces seemed to have no end in sight. Custody battles make things very complicated for former couples who share kids. And A-list marriages mean twice as many assets, leaving some splits with millions of dollars and dozens of estates to divvy up. Other stars put the process on pause while trying to work things out or support each other through hard times.
One duo who didn’t hurry with their divorce was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. They took a long time to make their split official, but not because of any bad feelings between the pair. They announced they were splitting in 2015 but didn’t file for divorce until April 2017, two years later. The pair agreed on custody of their three kids the next year, and by Oct. Ben and Jen were legally single.
