“My dad had a more working-class lifestyle. He didn’t go to college. He was an auto mechanic and a bartender and a janitor at Harvard,” added the actor and filmmaker. It is worth mentioning here that Jennifer and Ben were married from 2009 to 2015. The former couple shares three kids – Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 12.
