Ben said; 'We are good friends and we're doing our best and the kids are fabulous and we're working on our best for them.'
Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine the Argo director added; 'Jen's great... she's a great person. We're on great terms, I just saw her this morning so that's the reality that I live in.'
Jennifer said; 'It's not easy to go through it, period. I have found going through it in the public eye, it's just another facet of it. For anyone, when your life shifts in any way, it's tricky enough.'
