Ben Affleck has dismissed speculation that his marriage to Jennifer Garner is on the rocks.

Garner's representative was recently forced to deny reports that the couple, who have two-year-old daughter Violet, are on the verge of splitting after three years of marriage.

Affleck told Access Hollywood: "Things are pretty great. We're very happy. Things couldn't be better.

"We're kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home."

The actor recently filmed a report about war-torn Congo for US news show Nightline.
