Jennifer Garner Spills On Ben Affleck'S Beyoncé Obsession And Her Golden Globes Glam

Jennifer Garner Dishes on Ben's Beyoncé Phase

Jennifer Garner recently opened up about her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s amusing quirk during a book event in Los Angeles. While chatting with author Laura Dave and actress Rita Wilson at Diesel, A Bookstore, Garner shared a hilarious tidbit about Affleck's love for music on set.

"Do you guys do this? Do you listen to a song over and over again?" Garner asked the audience with a laugh. "I just want to tell you something. I've survived this. I have lived through it." Apparently, Affleck has a habit of playing Beyoncé's 'Halo' on repeat while working. Garner reminisced about the time they lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the filming of 'The Town,' with a three-month-old and a three-year-old in tow. "Ben Affleck listens to a song over and over," she continued, adding that it was a phase that saw the actor firmly in the BeyHive.

Affleck's Musical Companions

The event's host, Laura Dave, chimed in, "I love that because the only other person now besides Ben that I've heard that does that was [screenwriter] Tom Stoppard," revealing her own habit of working with music. This revelation put Affleck in some rather distinguished company, and perhaps, a little less alone in his musical repetition.

Garner and Affleck share three children from their marriage, which lasted from 2005 to 2018. Their family includes 20-year-old Violet, 16-year-old Fin, and 13-year-old Samuel.

Golden Globes Glamour and Glitches

In more recent news, Jennifer Garner made a dazzling return to the Golden Globes, marking her first appearance since 2013. Dressed in a breathtaking Cong Tri gown adorned with 330,000 crystal beads, Garner revealed that the stunning creation almost caused a red carpet catastrophe. "It's very heavy. It almost sent me flying down the stairs and I almost fell," she admitted in an interview with WWD. Despite the weighty challenge, the '13 Going on 30' star felt "sparkly and pretty," completing her look with exquisite Boucheron jewelry.

Garner's appearance at the 2026 Golden Globes was a highlight, showcasing her timeless elegance and ability to handle even the most precarious fashion moments with grace.
