After nine months of dating, Affleck and Garner got engaged on Garner’s 33rd Birthday.

Neither Affleck nor Garner confirmed their engagement, but a close friend told PEOPLE that the pair would be tying the knot.

The couple wed in a quiet ceremony in Turks and Caicos in June 2009. "They're married and they're expecting their first child," their reps said in a statement.

Garner gave birth to the couple's second daughter, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck on Jan. 6, 2009.

On an appearance on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, Affleck joked about being the sole male in his household.

"I have three women in the house. I get to be wrong three times a day," he joked to DeGeneres.

But despite being outnumbered, Affleck shared that he wouldn't change a thing.

Three years later in 2012, they welcomed their third child, a son named Samuel Garner Affleck.
