Jennifer Garner Stopped Ben Affleck from Directing 'Homeland'

Jennifer Garner and her husband Ben Affleck grab a cup of coffee together on Friday morning (November 2) in Brentwood, Calif.

The 40-year-old actress later took her son Samuel to meet up with her daughters Violet and Seraphina.

The day before, Jen and the girls went on an afternoon stroll the day before in Santa Monica.

Ben recently said that Jen‘s work schedule caused him to turn down a directing gig on an episode of Homeland.

“I liked the show. I signed on. The guys were ready. I don’t want to blame it on ‘her,’ but my wife and I have an arrangement where when she works, I don’t work and when I work, she doesn’t work,” Ben shared (via Us Weekly). “She said, ‘I have this movie, it’s 10 weeks, it’s in Atlanta.’ I said, ‘Okay, forget it. I’m sure nothing will happen with it anyway.’”
