Affleck heads to rehab yet again

-

Ben Affleck is back in rehab following a reported interventi­on staged by his estranged wife, Jennifer Garner.

Multiple reports suggest the actress showed up at Affleck’s Pacific Palisades home in California on Wednesday afternoon and begged him to get help for his ongoing alcohol abuse issues. She was then spotted leaving with the actor/ director and a man believed to be a sober coach. Insiders claim she agreed to drive him to an unnamed rehab facility.

Friends of the star tell

Page Six Affleck has been “struggling” with sobriety since breaking up with longtime girlfriend Lindsay Shookus. In recent days, the Justice League star has been linked to Playboy playmate Shauna Sexton, who is half his age.

Despite the fact they split in 2015, Garner and Affleck, who share three kids, have remained close. But her ex was noticeably absent from her Hollywood Walk of Fame star unveiling ceremony on Monday.

Sources tell TMZ and Us

Weekly that Affleck didn’t put up much of a fight during Garner’s interventi­on, because he knew he needed help again after battling alcohol issues in the past.

After stopping at a fast food restaurant near the Pacific Coast Highway, Garner’s car was last spotted heading for Malibu, where some of the finest rehab centres are located.

The drama comes 10 days after Affleck was spotted leaving an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
