Jennifer Garner may be married to a Hollywood A-lister but she’s still her own person.
The 42-year-old actress opened up in the September issue of Allure magazine, revealing that sometimes she purposely attends events sans her husband, Ben Affleck, to keep her individuality.
“It’s a very conscious decision,” she explained about going solo to certain public affairs.
“It can be too much, I think, especially for women. They can really lose their identity and just become ‘wife of.'”
“Sometimes it’s a pain because my heels are so high and it would be nice to have his arm,” she joked.
“And he’s such a great date!”
The brunette beauty goes on to say that even though she met her other half and the father of her three children on the set of 2003’s “Daredevil,” she prefers not to work with Affleck, 40, in another film.
“Really, you don’t want to see a couple onscreen,” she said.
“People see paparazzi shots of us together all the time. There’s no mystery. … People are sick of us.”
The mother of Violet, 7, Seraphina, 4, and son Samuel, 17 months, told the mag that she is no longer taking on roles where she has to make drastic changes to her figure.
“There were times I had to watch every calorie that went into my body,” she said.
“Doing something like that again … it’s not exactly on the top of my list.”
Also not at the top of Garner’s list is partaking in the popular age-fighting procedure botox.
“I have a big forehead, and I don’t want it to be like this slab, a big glacier.”
Garner’s issue of Allure hits newsstands Aug. 20.
