National Enquirer Had the Affleck-Garner Scoop First

EIC Dylan Howard tells FishbowlNY: "We blew the lid off the hottest Hollywood scoop of the year."

The cover story for the May 18 edition of the National Enquirer was headlined “Ben Storms Out!”

Arriving on newsstands May 6, the article mentioned the D-word:

Sources said Ben left his distraught wife after “a fight to end all fights” over Jen’s accusations about his sexy new movie co-star and concerns about his drinking and other compulsive behavior.

Friends now fear the couple is heading for a $150 million divorce!

A few weeks later, The Enquirer followed with a second Affleck-Garner bombshell, suggesting that the couple had secretly separated:

The troubled parents of three children will officially announce their split within weeks, according to a source – setting the stage for a $150 million divorce!

“Ben and Jen are through!” said the Hollywood informant.
