Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

Once considered as one of Hollywood's strongest couples - they are now headed for divorce.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner gave it a good go. 10 years of marriage and three children later, the Hollywood couple have confirmed they are headed for divorce.

The couple - who were married for ten years and have three children, 9-year-old Violet, 6-year-old Seraphina, and 3-year-old Samuel, together - have confirmed they are splitting up.

In a statement, the couple said: "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce.

"We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time."

Rumours about the pair splitting were fuelled most recently when moving vans were spotted outside the family home.

Meanwhile, a source previously claimed the pair's marriage was "in trouble" and that there had been problems from the "very beginning".

They said: "Where there's smoke, there's fire. The marriage is in trouble ...

"[They] have had problems from the very beginning."

The source also alleged it was Ben's "workaholic" nature and "many vices," which caused the couple to call time on their marriage.

Another insider also previously insisted Jennifer had been "preparing" for divorce, emotionally.

They shared: "Jen has actually been preparing herself emotionally for this divorce for some time."

In a recent interview 13 Going on 30 actress Jennifer spoke about the patience needed between a couple when they share children together.

She told Yahoo News: "You just go on a ride together because you don't know who you're going to be when you first have a baby and you don't know who [your partner] is going to be.

"You just have to hang in there while you figure it out - and have a lot of patience for each other."

While he was forced to clarify his comments in his Oscars acceptance speech, when he described his marriage as "work".

The Batman V Superman star was forced to clarify exactly what he meant in his Oscars acceptance speech.

"You know, all marriages, all relationships to a certain extent, require your work. They're not just work in the sense that it's like digging ditches, but they require work and investment," he said.

"If you're willing to work and invest, you can be successful in a relationship with another person. If you're not, you might as well just walk out the door because it's not gonna work. We work on it together, we try our best, and nobody's perfect."

In 2013, during an interview with InStyle magazine, Garner is quoted as saying: "We both know we couldn't do what we do without each other.

"He (Ben) has been amazing at finding ways of telling me how much he appreciates what I do."

"Honestly, I would do anything for that man, because I know it's not to be taken for granted."
