Ben Affleck is reportedly being helped through his split from Jennifer Garner by his former girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.
Ben Affleck is being advised through his marriage break-up by Gwyneth Paltrow.
The 'Gone Girl' star and wife Jennifer Garner announced last week they are to divorce after 10 years of marriage, and the 42-year-old star has turned to his former girlfriend - who split from her husband Chris Martin last year after nine years together - for support.
A source said: ''Gwyneth has been through a marriage break-up herself, so understands.''
Ben - who dated Gwyneth from 1997 to 2000 - and Jennifer sought therapy for over two years in a bid to save their marriage but are now looking to finalise their split quickly so they can move on with their lives.
A source said: ''They did everything they could to stay together but there were problems they just couldn't overcome.
''Two years of therapy didn't help - they really tried.''
Another source told Grazia magazine: ''They could have dragged it out longer but they wanted to draw a line under it.
''Their marriage has been over for some time and they're hoping for a quick divorce so they can move on.''
Despite their split, Ben is expected to continue living in a separate property on their Californian estate in order to be close to their children, Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and three-year-old Samuel.
