Being married with two children impacted Casey Affleck both personally and professionally, as it made him more calculated about his career. “I’m more conscious of being able to make a living now and being able to support a family,” the “Manchester By the Sea” star told Boston magazine in 2006. “So maybe I should work more and take advantage of the opportunities I have now,” he added. Meanwhile, Summer Phoenix took a hiatus from acting after becoming a mother. Phoenix was grateful for what her husband did both at home, and as an activist — the pair were heavily involved in PETA and animal activism. “He is a bleeding heart,” she told Boston magazine. “He is the most generous guy I have ever met.”
The couple mostly kept their married life out of the spotlight, but they made headlines in 2016 when Phoenix filed for divorce after over 10 years of marriage. It was not a rash decision, as the pair separated in 2015 before officially calling it quits. The former couple appeared on good terms. “Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix have amicably separated. They remain very close friends,” a statement to People read at the time.
By 2017, Affleck and Phoenix were officially divorced, as they reached a “prearranged confidential settlement” for dividing their assets and co-parenting their children, per People. Amid the break up, Affleck surprised fans when he mentioned his ex while receiving a prestigious award.
