You’re only as good as your last picture. Nobody knows that better than Ben Affleck, who has been roiled by his up-and-down surf of a career. He’s learned hard lessons along the way. Now, at 48, he’s bent on pursuing the avocation he adopted as a 12-year-old with a SAG card in Boston: acting.
As a multitasker, Affleck occupies an odd Hollywood niche. His star took off when he and buddy Matt Damon won the 1998 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for “Good Will Hunting.” Damon went on to become a respected movie star, notching three acting Oscar nominations, but Affleck’s talents were shadowed by romantic partners like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner (to whom he was married for 13 years), Playboy model Shauna Sexton, and most recently, his 31-year-old costar on the pandemic-delayed psychological thriller “Deep Water,” Ana de Armas (“Knives Out”).

Jennifer Garner recently finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, but if you thought she was at home moping around, think again. On Thursday, the actress was all smiles when she arrived at Jimmy Kimmel Live! in La. According to People, Jen is dating again, so that could also be the reason for her smile.

It seems like leaving rehab meant a fresh start for Ben Affleck, which now seems to have included breaking up with his much-younger Playboy model fling Shauna Sexton. On Oct. 9, reports revealed that Ben is allegedly single again, and he's taking this time to focus on his family and staying sober. Just a few days earlier, Ben took to Instagram to share with fans that he had just completed 40 days in an alcohol addiction treatment center. While he never expects the battle to end, he said that he's going to keep fighting for his sobriety. According to Radar, the duo decided to stop seeing each other just days after Ben left treatment and whisked her away to a romantic retreat in Montana, to a home he actually co-owns with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Shauna is known to party, but she seemed to be respectful of Ben's sobriety, since she visited him multiple times in rehab.

Despite the fact that Ben Affleck's rehab facility, The Canyon, is more glamorous than the average vacation resort — yoga, a pool, and world-renowned chef included — the father-of-three is dead serious about his recovery. Even more than his health and career, Ben is terrified that his ex Jennifer Garner will forbid him from seeing their children if he continues down a reckless path of out-of-control drinking. "He knows that he still has a long way to go on his road to recovery but is looking forward to a fresh start once he's out," an insider revealed to Life & Style, adding that the actor will be at The Canyon for an "extended" period of time. "Ben is 100 percent committed. He promised Jen that once he's out of rehab, he'll be a changed man." As to whether she believes him remains to be seen, but Jen is clearly in full support of his sobriety.

Ben Affleck‘s latest struggles with addiction are not a surprise to those closest to him.
His trip to rehab last Wednesday followed a week of troubling public behavior, and several sources confirmed to People that Affleck, 46, has been struggling with his sobriety for months — despite attending meetings at various treatment centers and working with a sobriety coach for much of the last year.

Ben Affleck’s Hollywood career may be one of the factors preventing him from staying sober, an addiction expert tells People.
Carol Liot, the clinical director of The Dunes East Hampton, an addiction treatment center in Northwest Harbor, New York, tells People that being in the public eye could be taking a toll on the Good Will Hunting star.
“We have a lot of high profile clients like Ben Affleck and what we do notice is that their lifestyles are so demanding that I think it makes it difficult to maintain all that,” Liot says.

While Ben Affleck currently battles his alcohol addiction in rehab, his Playboy model girlfriend Shauna Sexton is doing whatever she can to return to a normal life. However, the blonde bombshell, 22, may not be so innocent. According to police reports obtained exclusively by In Touch Weekly, she was arrested in 2017 in Virginia Beach on a Class 4 misdemeanor charge for public intoxication. She was found guilty and fined $100. She was also arrested in 2014 in Virginia Beach for underage purchase or possession of alcohol, and for using a fake ID, and was found guilty of the latter. She was also found guilty of refusing or failing to "provide their correct name and address to a police officer," and had to pay a $250 fine. You can view photos of Shauna Sexton’s mugshots below.

Jennifer Garner appeared to be in good spirits while out and about in La on Thursday, just one day after she took ex Ben Affleck to rehab. Even though Ben and Jen are no longer together, according to TMZ, the actress reportedly staged an intervention so that Ben could get help for his alcohol addiction.

After going public with their relationship a year ago, Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus split earlier this month after the Saturday Night Live producer could no longer handle his struggles with addiction, a source says.
“Lindsay had been supporting Ben’s sobriety and going to meetings with him. She had him in meditation and they were doing it together,” a source close to the former couple tells People. “His recovery was something that was very important to both of them.”

Although some may search for evidence to the contrary, it’s looking less and less likely that Ben Affleck will be donning the cape and cowl for Matt Reeves in The Batman.
Today, it was reported by TMZ that the actor’s checked into a live-in rehabilitation facility, where he’ll spend an “extended period of time” receiving treatment for alcohol addiction. Evidently, he was encouraged to enter a treatment facility by his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, who was photographed leaving his residence yesterday visibly upset. However, it should be noted that Affleck needed little convincing, as apparently, he knew he needed help: “He’s seeking treatment. He knows he needs help and was vocal about it,” says the outlet.
Earlier this week, a photograph of Affleck receiving a delivery of alcohol at his home in Brentwood, California surfaced online, and it was this snapshot, presumedly, which prompted Garner to intervene.
