Jen Affleck is offering her side of the story in the wake of her Jen Affleck divorce from Zac Affleck. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star filed to end her seven-year marriage, and shortly after Zac posted a five-minute video addressing the split, Jen released previously unseen clips from their relationship.
Postpartum Clip Draws Attention
In one video, Jen stands in a kitchen wearing a bathrobe, two weeks after giving birth, according to her on-screen text. Zac, off-camera, warns her against filming a TikTok in that state, remarking that her breasts are sagging. Jen laughs and asks if she is embarrassing herself; Zac replies that she is, a little. She captioned the post, “He was never my biggest supporter.”
Bathroom Towel Exchange
A second clip, filmed in their bathroom, shows Zac asking Jen why a towel was left on the floor. She says it was dirty. He asks what he is supposed to shower with and whether there are other towels. As he leaves, Jen responds that she has been doing his laundry for as long as she can remember and suggests that more help would mean more towels. Zac looks back at her from the doorway before walking away.
Zac Affleck Responds to Backlash
Zac’s video, posted before Jen shared the clips, acknowledged mistakes in the marriage. He said he did not want anyone speaking badly about Jen and that he had made plenty of errors. He described meeting Jen as encountering a light unlike anyone else’s and called her kind-hearted, adding that he would continue to support her.
In the comments of his post, when a user brought up the postpartum video, Zac replied that the footage was from 2022 and that the remark was horrible and should never have been made. He said he was shocked to hear it again and that he had said many hurtful things but had tried to learn and grow. Another commenter raised the same moment, and he repeated that he had made mistakes and said horrible things.
Co-Parenting Hopes
Zac also spoke about their three children and the fourth baby Jen is expecting. He said his biggest worry is that he failed his kids and might cause them harm, but he hopes they can still have a normal childhood. He added that he and Jen agree on wanting to give their children the best life possible.
The divorce filing was confirmed on November 4. The former couple married young, and Zac said in his video that he felt they had something special when they wed. Jen’s videos and Zac’s response have drawn attention online as the two navigate the end of their marriage and prepare for a new baby.
