Ben Affleck is aware his parenting skills may not be on the same level as Jennifer Garner.
And he seems completely fine with it.
Indeed, while shedding light on his co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife—with whom he shares kids Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14—the Gone Girl star joked that Garner sets the bar so high as a mom that it makes him look bad.
“Their mom is spectacular,” Affleck shared in a preview of the Oct. 11 episode of Sunday Today with Willie Geist, “and it always makes me feel like I’m coming up a little short.”
The Oscar winner joked that he tells their kids he’s “doing about 75 percent as good as your mom.”
“And they’re like, ‘Maybe 40 percent,’” he added with a laugh. “I’m maxing out. Woo, B+!”
But in all seriousness, Affleck—who split from Garner in 2015 after nearly 10 years of marriage—expressed that he couldn’t be more “grateful” to have a co-parent like the 13 Going on 30 actress.
