📹 Ben Affleck shares why relationship with Jennifer Garner didn’t last l GMA
The actor got candid about his past relationship during an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show.” SUBSCRIBE to GMA’s …
She stood by him. It’s tacky for him to say that he would be still be drinking if he was still married toiss Garner. It was not her fault that he drank. He was drinking before they married. Did he stop to think that his children would hear this? There are somethings you keep to yourself. I’ve never thought of Miss Lopez as a savior.
Do not blame others for your behavior/decisions. It was Affleck decision to drink. He is saying he use drinking as a way to cope with an unhappy marriage. Well, he is not a victim. He needs to acknowledge drinking was his choice. Too bad that his marriage with Jennifer Garner did not work out because she appears to be a decent person and she is the mother of his three children.
Blaming your spouse or your marriage for your excessive drinking is indicative of a person with no integrity or personal strength. An alcoholic is a person of weak mind and character. You can’t face your issues so you hide in a bottle. Yeah… that’s really intelligent. But then to blame someone or something else is avoiding the real reason why you’re a drunk. Affleck is all those things.
Poor Ben… Not the first time he’s blaming situations for his drinking habits. Not the first time he feel trapped in a relationship. That’s what he said after his brake up with Jlo in 2004. Drinking is probably a symptom of deeper problems. I think this handsome man need a therapist to help him with his issues.
He didn’t blame his wife! did you really pay attention to what he said? He was unhappy in his marriage and felt trapped because he didn’t want to break his children’s hearts so he resorted to drinking. He didn’t even mention if that was the cause of his addiction or if it started earlier. He didn’t blame his wife either and for the love of God, how many women and men are currently in an unhappy marriage themselves doubting if they should divorce feeling guilty for their children? How many people have addiction issues? cigarettes, food, porn, gambling, alcohol, shopping, article games, gym, etc? Are we going to blame this guy because he is a celebrity and speaks honestly about his side of the story?
He’s not blaming his kids idiots he said he can’t leave because of his children….. Tf. As he said he made decisions with his wife for as long as he could . And honestly you guys are disassociated because he sounds Emotional to me . Smh . Oh and Gotta love how So often Women take an individual’s actions and say “Men are so this, Men are so That ” you don’t know how that feels as well but if you did you’d probably stop ladies. Give Ben a break it’s his life .
Ben. You’re a pretty man with a little bitty brain. Jennifer is an angel among mankind. She is so far above us. Above you. Jennifer is pure, elegant, kind, big hearted. J-Lo is athletic, cutthroat, competitive, ruthless. Enjoy the life you’ve chosen. I know I couldn’t live with myself having hurt and abandoned a treasure like Garner.
It’s always crazy to me to see how many people behind their key boards type all their judgement as if all of ya’ll live perfect lives. Please. The man expressed himself. He was unhappy in his marriage & life. He used alcohol to cope. Bad idea. He acknowledged it. He’s not blaming Jenifer. People can’t share anything without all the self righteous nobodies coming out to judge you to death. I’m sure your lives are all perfect. 🤣
For all of you judging ben why don’t you go listen to the entire howard stern interview b4 you just listen to the media twist his words..but you all must be so perfect and you don’t make any mistakes in your life. The bottom line is the only people who know what happened in ben and jen g’s marriage is them the rest of us are outsiders looking in but for some reason people think bc ben and jen g are celebrites they don’t have everyday people problems…news flash we are all imperfect humans living in this world the best way we can… for all of you judging and name calling ben..how about you police you own life and find some happiness of your own…i wish jen g the best of luck and happiness in her relationship and i wish the same for ben and jlo..everyone deserves to be happy bc life is to short to be uphappy….
Isn’t it typical- a man would blame his wife for his alcohol addiction… what a CROCK of BS! You became an alcoholic because you could! It’s how YOU chose to deal with your unhappy marriage. To J. LO —- wishing you luck, Ben is a LOSER & could easily become an alcoholic again if J. Lo doesn’t make him “HAPPY”. An entire bottle of scotch is a serious drinking addiction!
Really? Please. As a sober person with 19 years of sobriety, I can offer my opinion and here it is: he needs to take responsibility for his actions, he decided to drink “to deal with his problems” is such a cop out. As so many others have said, he needs to get an excellent therapist and deal with what’s TRULY going on . AA is an excellent program also.
Everybody needs to actually listen to what he said. Ben made it clear he loves and respects Garner. But they were also wrong for each other, as some marriages are. He dealt with this situation in an unhealthy way by drinking. He is no way blaming her, he’s giving his personal history in an interview. He’s allowed to answer a question about his life. Screw the media for twisting this, screw the people too lazy to actually listen to the interview, and screw the people who just like to jump to conclusions instead.
Why are you just saying that to Jen now? You will say best mother of the world is JG last May. You know the sacrifice JG made for you back then when you were addicted to alcohol. You are the one who makes you put in the bad. Or maybe you’re making a word because you have a movie now. To get your attention. You are habitual to drink alcohol. You decide what you want to do with yourself. Not JG. Think about it, Ben.
The world is becoming so judgemental, that we usually miss important lessons. I am shocked that most don’t get how truthful the man was in pouring his heart out to the world, telling us that they were both suffering. No one can deny that his ex wife is ” a saint”, meaning anyone else would be happy with her- they were only married to the wrong person. That interview was very painful to listen to, because I could hear the sorrow of the couple in his voice. You don’t get the point. He told the the absolute truth that will be helpful to many,; and only if we stop being judgemental and hateful 🌷
Who took Ben to rehab after divorced for 3 yrs? JenG did! He wasn’t living with her but she did that for their children! (Guess he drank bcause of the nanny) He is a despicable person! Needs to go back to AA an start steps 4-7 over again!!!! How dare he blame her for his drinking!!!! She is an incredible woman an does so much good for children!! Look her up on youtube on PBS interview then you’ll find out how AWESOME she is! Shes an advocate for all children not just her own! What a truly classy lady and so AUTHENTIC! CLASSY in the way she has never said anything bad about him or his drinking for their children’s sake!
Yes, Jennifer Garner has a kind-looking face, but none of us know her from a can of paint. Funny how Taylor Swift can make song after song harping on her ex-boyfriend, and she’s praised for it. But let a guy say a few words about his divorce and it’s the end of the world. It’s the hypocrisy for me. 😂
How quickly people forget the lessons of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Everybody but everybody came down on Depp as if he was pure evil. Then bit by bit it came out that Heard was really the abusive person in the relationship and she was leading everybody on with a bunch of lies. I am not saying that Garner is anything like Heard, but I am saying that people can be very abusive in a relationship and that they themselves may never really know or understand that they are being so. I went through an 23 year abusive marriage because I was ignorant and lacked the knowledge of what a Borderline Personality Disorder was. I didn’t understand that her behaviors weren’t just problematic and hurtful but were considered by mental health experts to be very emotionally abusive. But because of this mental disorder my Ex was always filled/overwhelmed by the emotions and belief that she was the one who was uncared for, picked on, and mistreated. It was all an endless cycle of manipulative abuse that created a ever widening separation in our marriage. My Ex even attacked a counselor with baseless severe accusation of him picking on her when he tried to approach the subject that my Ex’s behaviors contributed to problems in the marriage. (and she wouldn’t come back to counseling with that counselor either) But to people outside of our marriage my Ex was always successful as portraying herself as a perfect christian princess to the point where they found it almost impossible to believe she could be abusive.
Listening to this clip in the interview, it doesn’t sound like he’s blaming Jennifer for his drinking, it sounds like he’s blaming his not being happy. Jennifer was just a part of that because she was a part of the marriage. Look, I don’t like Ben Affleck, or his buddy, what’s his name, but let’s not put words in his mouth people.
He is very transparent in my opinion for exposing the reasons why his marriage doesn’t work anymore. Of course, some mistakes was made by them along the way…Any way despite the love i believe they both share to each other, when things insist on staying worse inside the bedroom It’s quite difficult to sustain a good enviroment for the kids when they put each other apart. \r I hope Jennifer keeps moving on cause she deserves the best for her and the kids.
Ben afflrck is a jerk. He drank because he wanted to and stop trying to blame it on Jennifer garner. He was lucky she stuck with him and supported him as long as she did . He did not deserve her. She is such a great person and a fabulous mum.Ben and Jennifer Lopez deserve each other because they are alike and care more about their careers than anything else. I hope Jennifer garner finds the happiness she deserves.
Ohhh My God! Why He blamed his dark secret for his children mother. That’s not fair at all. Couples fight and made it work. Marriage is not easy institution. Blaming His wife for his weakness is not understandable. Sometimes counting your blessings and righting gratitude journal prevents you Blaming your wife! Jennifer Garner seems a nice woman. There are nothing knew under the sun love comes and fade..value as a person whatever your experience is the most! God bless each one of us!!!🙏
Backlash from media is probably his least problem Today. Imagine all women in his life, their besties, their parents, kids and omg.. maybe his own mother if she’s alive plus his agent. Don’t think he meant to be as bad mouthing as he was but has no filter and will probably go straight into media training:::,
She’s head strong and a type A perfectionist, more forceful personality. He needs a warm, more easy going, understanding and loving woman. He’s more broad minded. Both have positive and negative traits like all pp. Think he’s a pp pleaser and she wanted things her way only. If one is going to marry opposites, got to accept them for who they are and accept each other’s growth potential.
He doesn’t want it to be the model of marriage for his kids but then he dates a 30 year old for a little while for fun (he would date any young and beautiful co-star though, I think. I don’t think he has a lot of self-restraint) and then returns to another unreliable person (JLo)? She was married like 3 times already. Is this model better than being with an actually stable person like Jennifer Garner?
Jennifer Garner was incredible way too good to Ben as a wife and the mother of his children. Don’t blame others for your bad habit. Blame yourself. No one force you. He made a comment stating ” If he was still married to Garner,he would’ve still be drinking” Ben! You’re are grown man. If you’re drinking. Do it in moderation and have some self control. Ben had known from the beginning. When his ex Jennifer Lopez relationship was over,he going to make any excused to leave his wife. Ben! Stop playing the blame game and own up to your shit. I hate when people in general play the blame game when they do something wrong and doesn’t own up to it. I HATE IT.
OMG, Ben’s marriage failed because of his alcohol addiction and not caused by his partner. OMG, hope JLo realized the kind of person Ben is, doing blame game and non acceptance of his wrongdoing. Life is about choices. The choice Ben made had consequences and it was him who made the choice was to be blamed and nobody else.
I believe him. He was unhappy in his marriage because it wasn’t working and he felt trapped because he didn’t want to divorce their mother because it would upset his kids, so he took the easy route of drinking his miseries away, until that became unsustainable because the kids also suffered seeing him as a drunk father, so the couple did the best thing for them and divorced. Ben cut the drinking and tried to redo his life. And then life brought JLo back into his arms. I always though JLo and Ben were a lovely couple, they seemed very inlove and happy together. Only Jennifer Garner would know if she was in secretly in background, trying to get Ben for herself while he was with JLo. My hunch is that she was, hence, I don’t feel sorry for her at all. For sure they had a fling during the Daredevil shoot, when he was with JLo and she was with Scott. Fastforward to 2022, I think it’s nice that Ben and JLo have finally married and I wish them all the best. And I’m sure both their kids just want to see their parents happy. In my opinion, Ben regretted splitting from JLO, he had a lot of regrets, which is another reason for his drinking because he lost his true love out of stupidity. Sometimes things happen for the best though, and they are now older and wiser. That goes for Jennifer Garner too.
How DARE he blame Jennifer Garner. You became a drunk. She didn’t force you. You should have gotten a divorce and take responsibility for being a drunk and a douchebag. You OWE Jennifer Garner and your children an apology. I don’t look down on you for an addiction. I look down on you for blaming someone else for your problems..
Everyone looks at Jennifer Garner as some perfect whatever. I love her as an actress. You think because she always plays the girl next door or the good girl she is a saint in real life. She is an actress. She is a homewrecker. When she worked with him on the movie Daredevil she was married. He was engaged to Jennifer Lopez. Not only did she wreck his engagement she wrecked her own marriage. I know it takes 2 to tangle it wasn’t all her it was him too. Jennifer Lopez was the love of his life. Jennifer Garner was the safe choice. I look at pictures of him with both women and to me he always looked adoringly at Jlo. He looks so much happier. A lot of times he looked pissed when he was with his wife. Maybe he thought he could move on from his feelings for Jennifer lopez. Maybe it ate him up after realizing with gave up the love of life for public image. Now that he has a chance to see where that goes good for him. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. Not many of us get a second chance. I commend him for his honesty. So many people are out here like poor Jennifer Garner. She made her bed she can lay in it. She divorced him. She moved on with who ever that guy was and she is always getting a second chance with him. If you don’t like that he is with Jennifer Lopez then look the other way. In our own personal lives do we really care that someone doesn’t approve of our choices….no. He deserves happiness just like anyone else. If happiness is with Jennifer Lopez so be it. Even if it is only for a little while hey at least they were both brave enough to give it another shot.
What I see is this comment section is nothing but Karens, borderline racism, and high horse bullies. Not only do you attack Ben, but of course JLo has to be brought in who had nothing to do with this interview! If you actually heard the ENTIRE interview, you’d know everything in full detail. Ben told his truth. He put responsibility on his own decisions, not on Garner! Get it through your thick heads! He still called her a great person and mother. The marriage is over! Get over it! He’s with JLo! They have moved on! Do It yourselves!
I can only imagine some will not like what I’m about to say, but I will always believe that Jennifer intentionally got pregnant to trap Ben. Jennifer was with Scott Foley for 5 years, then with Michael Vartan for a year…no pregnancy. But within 6 months of dating Ben she’s pregnant. They were married after dating only 10 months. She was 3 months pregnant on their wedding day. I believe Ben married her due to his upbringing & bc he saw it as the right thing to do. I don’t believe he was ever in love with her. This is the reason behind the drinking, drugs, cheating. Not justifying his behavior. Just saying dude was miserable/unhappy. Most marriages don’t last under those circumstances. She wanted the life of being married to an A-lister (which he was at the time). She wanted to be that power couple. I’m not even a fan of BA but was a huge fan of JG on Alias. Everyone’s dragging Ben. Just saying there’s more to their story than meets the eye.
Some couples just don’t work out. Garner might seem great. That doesn’t mean she is great for most men or that most men would want her or enjoy being with her. USA has a high divorce rate. Many couples opt to just live together. So I guess for him drinking is an escape. A lot of people wouldn’t want to go back to an ex. That’s why they are an ex.
If that’s his truth on Jennifer then he should of told her privately and not the whole world saying he only stuck around for the children is kinda hurtful basically he used her until he found a way out…. Kinda of sad because she could of found someone better ages ago Or just moved on quicker if you told her the truth…just hope JLO don’t get bored… Because Jennifer won’t be in a rush to give you a spare room this time 😳
He is proving to be such a man boy. How do you stay with someone you’re not happy with & have three children. I don’t think it’s the women I think he simply doesn’t like women. Or he wants someone who runs around for him and bows at his feet. Also interesting it’s after the media reports Jennifer is in a happy relationship, he tries to pull her down like a jealous teenager. So typical. He’s never going to grow up
Look I don’t believe Jennifer Garner is a victim here. She knew who he was when she got pregnant and probably thought like most women that she would be the one to change him. She stayed hoping he would grow to love her the way she deserved to be loved. So they both made conscious choices here from the beginning. He is owning his stuff but will she or will she continue to play the poor little Jennifer Garner role. She is not innocent here because she saw what she wanted and figured out how to get him. It’s the proverbial plot twist. They both messed up.
So he saying he cares more about the kids than his ex wife. She the one that laid up 9 months carrying his kids. I don’t get it. So he saying he doesn’t care about his ex wife at all. And he’s back with Lopez. What kind of mess is this. He care more about Lopez than his ex wife. Lopez is not their mother at all. Lopez wants his children herself and to raise them. Furthermore l prefer garner as a good mother to her kids.
But they both Jennifer and Affleck new each past situation of each other unless someone was hiding it but still seeing other people, whom got hurt by either love or an honest friend ship of other people and their past came back to hunt one or the other, while harming the new relationship they had recently, at some point we all should look back and not hide or start another relationship with other until your sure, it definitely over, It can or come back on your new life and love, either someone can set you up of your past your trying to live a double life with another it will not last your played out new relationship is done.
HE’S A HOT AZZ MESS! NO YOU DIDNT GET ON GMA AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND TELL THE WORLD YOUR EX WIFE AND MOTHER OF YOUR NOT 1, NOT 2, BUT 3 CHILDREN WAS THE REASON YOU WERE A CASINO GOING, PILL POPPIN DRUNK!!!! NI99A, THAT WAS YOUR POOR CHOICES AND ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR. JLO GOT HERSELF A CLASSY ONE ALRIGHT! THEY PRBLY DESERVE EACH OTHER. #KARMACARES
Jennifer Garner has always been a role model in Hollywood. Ben has always been Ben. I saw a picture a couple of weeks ago of them and he was clearly upset. She must have not agreed with his hair brained attitude. J Lo you’d better beware!!! You’ll be next on his list when things don’t go his way. Maybe he’ll blame his drinking on u!!!
I really like and admire jlo as a person and a model and also JenG but when I knew Ben get back to love with Jlo I felt pity to the kids of Ben and also JenG. Felt like Ben is escaping his mess and went back to jlo. Well, I get pity to both women and the kids . I think Ben needed a therapy and seek professional help of himself
It did work at one point,,there s 3 kids to prove. Love expires is more appropriate explanation. I use to love Ben Affleck, not anymore he talks too much and sounding like blaming his marriage of being drunk..see I fell out of love for him just like that..😊 Will See how far the expiration date with JLo, as they had one before..
Jennifer Garner talk negatively about Ben first. She said that he was generous but a very complicated man. She said on in interview how he slept with the nanny, etc. She knew JLO and Ben were days from getting married but she inserted herself in their relationship. Guess what karma never forgets an address. Ben cheated on her as she cheated on JLO with Ben. Karma baby karma
He deserves that narcissistic attention seeking whatever you want to call her. Ms. Garner was way too good for him. It is comical that he is a raging alcoholic and JHO has a new wine, tequila and vodka line or whatever that she is promoting to make everyone else into an alcoholic. They should both get a life. They deserve each other.
It is a shame that Ben Affleck being disrespectful to Jennifer Garner and to blame her and his marriage for his drinking problem. Jennifer Garner help him to get clean and sober for sake of his children. I totally loss my respect for him. I am glad that Jennifer Garner has move on from this loser. 🤨
10 years married are you kidding me we felt trapped he was an alcoholic he is an alcoholic whether he’s in recovery or not we know even after the divorce he was drinking with all those other girls the young girls going all over the place and his brother and father there’s a family history so for him not to me and I’m so sad when she’s done nothing but help him even after they were divorce taking him to rehab and always having his back and not let’s not forget how she’s raising his kids beautifully without him
Shame on u to be saying that u are trapped in ur marriage with Jennifer Gardner. For ur information it was Jennifer who made a lot of sacrifice in order for ur marriage to last . Why don’t just keep ur mouth shot if u have nothing nice to say to ur ex. Why didn’t u blame yourself that would have been better. 🤣🖐⚡️ do u think it’s easy to deal with ur being an alcoholic? ✂️🧉
He says having three kids is the most important thing in his life forget look what he did not only for those 10 years all the years since alcohol women women women when do the children come first obviously his wife’s income first but now with the children but now because you’re with a different girl you’re going to sit in bash them other shame on him what a coward
I’m just glad to see that ol Jenny from the block claims she loves everyone shes with in a relationship but can so easily and so quickly move on to someone else!! Oh Ben will get tossed to the curb just as soon as she makes a new movie with a young hottie or hires a new back up dancer with some freakaliscious dance moves!! This relationship has been and always will be a hot mess!! Jenny has definitely been around the block a few times!!😂🤣🤦♀️🙄
After all that this woman have put up and defended, supported and forgive this man he should shut up never speak of her the relationship. Take responsibility your that alcoholism is what destroy his family. Not happy get divorce like anyone else. Not only his life and choices affects them talking about her and the relationship does too, SHUT UP! No one wants to hear it.
Hey Ben, it’s not their fault you are all screwed up, own it like a man and deal with it. Take some damn responsibility for your own problems and stop blaming Jennifer Gardner. Stop acting like a victim and act like a man. It’s YOUR character defect, so OWN it. Thats the only way you will be able to deal with it effectively. Haven’t you put that poor woman through enough already? Stop being a selfish jerk and hurting the people that care about you. It’s a limited resource. Edit – really good actor, terrible example of a man for his children.
He perhaps could of phrased it differently….I was a drunk, I made life for my kids and Jennifer not in a good place… Jennifer is a great mom, sadly she couldn’t fix me…..He is a coward and still a drunk, only difference is he is in a high with the new Jennifer, Things will crumble for him again, just a matter of time.
I’ve been in recovery over 25 years n it sounds to me like he’s already relapsed in his mind if he hasn’t actually picked up yet.If he was in his right mind he wouldn’t be going on the Howard Stern show to say anything bout his ex.Also,saying he would still be drinking if he was with her is bullshit.You drink or use because of issues with YOURSELF.If he hasn’t learned that yet, he’ll continue regardless of who he’s with.Addiction is horrible…
is like she’s want married jl but and the end she married jen but in her heart want married jl that why she feel trap can’t leave cause her kids..is sounds likes that to me she really wants married jl before she married jen and now they divorce so ben open up say everything when married with jen say not happy at the fact ben really don’t want married jen that my opinion I don’t know maybe some people’s have better opinion?
Wow .. he doesn’t sound like he is in recovery. Blaming his ex because he felt trapped imagine how garner felt being married to a drunken coward. I imagine she felt trapped too. Only Garner has way too much class then to throw her kids Dad under the bus publicly. I highly doubt that Garner is the narcissist. He sounds like he is drunk in this interview. And I highly doubt his kids came first clearly feeling sorry for himself/his alcohol/their nanny came first for many years and Garner was the adult in the relationship taking care of the children including immature self centered Affleck. Shheeeze he is out of touch with reality and like a true narcissist he will shape reality to affirm his twisted reality. Sadly, Alcoholics are narcissists and well I guess he has met his match in Lopez. Poor Ben blaming everyone else instead of accepting responsibility and the consequences in his behavior and his choices never recognizing how much hurt he has caused his family. Time to grow up it’s not all about you Ben. Way to go Stern another narcissist who gets off on causing others painful media controversy. Someone should interview Stern’s ex and his children ask them about what a great guy the narcissist Stern is. Ben really needs to stop publicly bashing his kids’ Mother. His alcoholic choice has done enough embarrassment/damage to his family he really needs to stop hurting his ex and kids Aka family with these private issues. Newsflash Ben we all feel trapped at one point in life. But we don’t all escape into a bottle.
OMG, your marriage failed because of your drinking and not because of your partner. OMG, hope JLo realized what a person Ben is, doing blame game and non acceptance of his wrongdoing. Life is about choices, the choice Ben took had consequences, therefore only the person who made the chose be the one to blame, and nobody else.
Explaining his struggle by blaming someone else. He should only blame himself. I don’t see his sobriety being too much longer if he can’t be accountable for his own actions. Who knows he might not be sober now. This sounds like a man who is still active in his addictions trying to shift it. A person cannot make you happy person A person can’t make you an unhappy person. He let himself become a person he was not proud of. That’s what caused his unhappiness.
If you’re married to a decent loving person (which it looks like Jennifer Garner was and is) then you don’t try to look for a newer model or drink in misery that it isn’t perfect, or blame the spouse YOU picked…you go get therapy, work on your coping skills, dive deeper into a relationship with God, and appreciate the gifts you have by having a family at all. Geez Ben! You not only put your poor wife through hell of your ungrateful self-pity feeling trapped, you put her through living with an alcoholic, and through being cheated on. She could HATE YOUR GUTS and try to keep you from the kids you disapointed and broke the hearts of BUT SHE took the high road to be publically decent, helped you after the divorce with rehab, and is amiable for the kids’ sake and yet you DARE to stoop down and PRETEND to have been some kind of victim/hostage? Oh my gosh…NO. Just NO. Forever NO.
Too bad, Ben is just so unpredictable! #Can’t blame marriage to Jennifer Gardner! on your Drinking!!! That’s a cop out, any recovering alcoholic knows this”…. Ben you never did the work, the steps! You stated ‘Being a father is the most important thing in your life’ why are you going backwards with Jennifer Lopez???? who is a relationship addict herself, she has a bad track record of breaking up with How many men? I lost count .. that girl is going to be the relationship that triggers your addiction and relapse Does anyone out there get this???. Jennifer Lopez needs counseling herself,she broke too many hearts A Rod was a decent man.. She is a fantastic singer, actress but, as far as her love life ….She is powerless to herself and she’s not thinking about her children and how many men she’s been with ! Bringing them into her kids life, into her bed… Get Real
