Ben Affleck is back in
rehab for a third time after his estranged wife, Jennifer Garner, staged an
intervention.
Ben checked into a
treatment facility after Jennifer Garner went to his Pacific Palisades home to
sit down with him. Garner left the home, before returning with an unidentified
woman. After that, all three got in a car and headed for a treatment facility.

Garner and Affleck
split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage, and share three children. The actor
reportedly moved on with the family’s then 28-year-old nanny, Christine
Ouzounian. Soon after, Affleck began dating “Saturday Night Live” producer
Lindsay Shookus. However, it was recently revealed that they broke up, which
reports say took a toll on the actor’s sobriety.
News of a new rehab stint comes after the troubled actor was
seen around town with 22-year-old Playboy model Shauna Sexton, who is rumored to be his new girlfriend.

The Blast obtained photos of Affleck receiving a delivery
of alcohol at his home in the days leading up to his encounter with
Garner. People reports that Affleck has been in ongoing treatment
and attending meetings for alcohol abuse. It also notes that he knew he needed
treatment and was vocal about it. He reportedly didn't resist Garner's pleas
for him to enter rehab.
An insider told Page Six that, “He’s having a tough time. It’s unclear
what his relationship is with Lindsay and he still has his relationship with
Jen. It’s not easy and he’s struggled with staying on a straight path before.”
Affleck is reportedly
in a live-in treatment facility where he will stay for an extended period of
time.
