Jennifer Garner has blamed her "unrealistic expectations" of romance on her split from first husband Scott Foley. The star, whose three-year marriage to Foley ended in 2003, admits she was upset when she realized he wasn't her 'knight in shining armor' - but believes the experience has helped change her outlook on love for the better.

She says, "I had 'white knight syndrome' - I'd get so disappointed when I realized somebody was human. And I don't come without baggage. It's learning to accept that human quality that helps you really love someone in a different way.

"Any break-up changes your views on romance. I saw a lot of things I needed to work on. It's too bad you can't have that epiphany when you're in the middle of it."
