Ben Affleck to enter rehab after ‘intervention’ by ex-wife, Jennifer Garner

DAYS after he was seen out with a Playboy model, Ben Affleck is being treated at a rehab facility after a desperate plea from Jennifer Garner.

BEN Affleck has entered rehab after his ex-wife Jennifer Garner staged an intervention.

The Oscar-winner, 46, is undergoing professional treatment at a live-in facility after Garner “begged” him to, TMZ reports.

Affleck was said to be “receptive” to the rehab request, and was photographed en route looking absolutely exhausted in the backseat of a car being driven by Garner in Los Angeles.

This will be Affleck’s third rehab stint, the celebrity gossip site reports, and the centre he is being treated at specialises in “Buddhist ethics”.

Earlier this week, Affleck was seen carrying a box full of booze being delivered to his home in the Pacific Palisades.

It came after the Gone Girl actor was seen out with a Playboy model, including at Nobu in Malibu and hanging out of a car window at fast food restaurant, Jack In the Box.

Affleck recently split from his Saturday Night Live producer ex-girlfriend Lindsay Shookus and was last week seen out with Shauna Sexton, 22, who has since taken to social media to complain about the media attention she has received in the wake of their date.

Affleck smoked a cigarette as he left Nobu with Shauna with the pair surrounded by security guards.

It came after Affleck and Shookus — who had frequently been photographed together during their romance — had not been seen for more than a month.

A moving van was spied outside Affleck’s home on August 9, according to TMZ.

Affleck and Garner — who have three daughters together — filed for divorce in 2016, about two years after they broke up.

After reports this week that they’d been sent a legal warning for “dragging their feet” with the divorce, an insider told People Affleck is “in a good place mentally”.

“(He) has worked really hard to get here,” the source said. “He continues to focus on himself and the health of his relationships.”
