After 10 years of marriage, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are calling it quits, People reports.

"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce," the pair told People in a joint statement. "We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding."

The couple, who have three children together, originally met on the set of 2001's Pearl Harbor, and became involved two years later when they were costars in 2003's Daredevil. They were married in 2005 and celebrated their tenth anniversary Monday.
