Affleck made his directorial debut in 2010 with the mockumentary, "I'm Still Here" starring Joaquin Phoenix which was and is still believed to be a golden feather in his success. In 2016, he appeared as a troubled alcoholic in "Manchester by the Sea" which gained him the Oscars and other recognized international awards.

They started dating in 2000, were seen together in "Committed" and "This Is Our Youth," got married in Savannah, Georgia in 2006, and have two sons, Indiana and Atticus. The couple had quite a hard time and Phoenix filed for divorce in 2015 citing irreconcilable differences. Affleck has since then moved on and has been seen dating Caylee Cowan.
