Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner-Affleck are apparently getting a divorce, according to a series of rumors circulating on the Internet. Is there any truth to the Affleck and Garner drama? Let us find out.
Argo actor Ben Affleck is apparently getting ready to split from Jennifer Garner, his wife of ten years and the mother of his three children.
According to The National ENQUIRER, Ben Affleck, who is currently shooting Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice along with Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne, has become an alcohol addict.
A source revealed to the publication, that along with his passion for drinking, Affleck has allegedly been gambling as he works on the film. Affleck’s alleged addictions are nothing new, while filming his 2014 Oscar-winning film Gone Girl, Affleck made sure he was often drunk in order to make his character more realistic.
He confessed at the time:
“In the book it said he was puffy and hungover, and I dedicated myself to that and I think it’s quite convincing.”
Director David Fincher confirmed Affleck’s heavy drinking by saying:
“It was six months of real dedication to being hungover.”
According to reports, Garner is so disappointed and angry that her husband has picked up his old habit while making Batman v Superman that she has refused to visit him on the set. The insider stated that Garner and Affleck have also been feuding over rumors that he cheated with Gone Girl co-star, Emily Ratajkowski.
Garner is said to be feeling betrayed after her spouse was seen on camera whispering to an ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, at the 2015 Golden Globes.
The constant arguing has pushed Ben Affleck to flee the family home for a Buddhist monastery in Canada to “get his head straight.” Affleck stormed off just days before his wife’s birthday and the couple’s wedding anniversary.
The anonymous source said that Affleck is not sure what he wants to do with his life and added:
“Ben is in the grips of a mid-life crisis. He’s trying to figure out what he wants out of life, and find a path back to being a good husband. He’s on a ‘self discovery’ mission, and talking through his marital issues. He’s at a crossroads.”
Garner flew to Canada to beg Affleck to clean up his act, but in vain. More from the source:
“Jen was worried enough that she dropped everything and flew to Canada to give Ben an ultimatum. Jen said she’d give him one more chance to clean up his act.”
Despite all of this drama, it appears that Affleck, who once made headlines for saying that his marriage takes a lot of work to succeed, has decided to give Garner another chance.
Ben Affleck has returned to California and is trying to save his marriage for the sake of the children and because he is not interested in going through a $150 million divorce. According to the spy:
“The bottom line is that Jen can’t trust Ben. It’s a vicious cycle — he’ll screw up, then he’ll get it together, but then it’s only a matter of time before he’s back to bad behavior.The next few months are going to be a real test, and Ben’s going to have to be on his absolute best behavior to prove to Jen he’s a completely changed man.”
Despite the recent pictures of Affleck without his wedding ring, his own admission that he loves liquor and finds marital life complicated, a rep has stepped out to deny the breakup story.
The spokesperson said the divorce story was fabricated and that Garner and Affleck are happy together.
