Many people assumed that there was something wrong with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s marriage after his speech at the 2013 Oscars. “I know. I had a friend call and say, ‘Are you OK?’ ” Jennifer said about the interpretation of her husband’s words.

However, the 40-year-old actress doesn’t look at the speech that way. She told Telegraph that their marriage was stable and good and that Ben actually gave her a compliment in his speech. “I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world,” Jennifer explained. She also added: “I think he was saying, ‘Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I’m in it with you and I know you are in it with me.’ That’s the way I took it. Poor guy. It’s so horrible to put yourself out there – he didn’t have to worry about it from my point of view.” 

Affleck’s movie Argo won the Oscar for Best Picture in February 2013. In his speech he thanked his wife saying: “I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It’s good. It is work, but the best kind of work and there’s no one I’d rather work with.”
