Jennifer Garner says she felt “panicked” about her finances after her divorce from Ben Affleck. Multiple outlets report that she describes realizing she needed to become a more active earner to support her children, framing the period as a personal change prompted by uncertainty about her financial stability.
The reports also tie her comments to her career choices after the split. They say Garner stepped back from Hollywood to focus on raising their children, and that the shift made financial planning feel more urgent. The outlets differ slightly in how they characterize the background—one highlights that she had previously not given much thought to money, while others focus more on her practical response and determination to earn reliably.
