Ben Affleck Mourns Mom Chris After Dad's Death

Ben Affleck is reflecting on a year marked by the profound loss of both his parents. His mother, Chris Anne Affleck, passed away on June 2 at the age of 83. Her death followed a pancreatic cancer diagnosis in December, which doctors had predicted would give her approximately six months to live.

The Oscar winner recently shared his perspective on these significant passings. He spoke about how these events have led him to re-evaluate his own childhood and appreciate his mother's sacrifices and dedication more deeply. His father, Timothy Affleck, had died earlier in April, making this year particularly challenging for the Affleck family.
