Ben Affleck talked for the first time about his separation from wife Jennifer Garner. In an interview with The New York Times, the actor said, "We're on great terms. I just saw her this morning, so that's the reality that I live in." He described his ex "a great person."

The "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" star, however, refused to discuss his family life or the details of his divorce from former "Daredevil" co-star. "Because it ends up being in the record somewhere, in the great miasma of junk on the internet," so he reasoned.

When asked about Garner's revealing interview with Vanity Fair, Affleck said, "It's fine. She's allowed to talk about it." He added, "She felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over with, so she could say, 'Look, I already talked about it - I don't want to do it again.' "

The father of three also responded to Ricky Gervais' Golden Globe joke in which the comedian called Matt Damon as "the only person who Ben Affleck hasn't been unfaithful to." Affleck laughed, "It's the way Ricky Gervais perceives me, I suppose. Whatever. I've had jokes made at my expense before. It's part of the deal."
