Yesterday we told you that Ben Affleck is back in rehab. Word is, he’s been on a little bit of a bender lately, and while it may appear that it was due to his split from “SNL” producer Lindsay Shookus, sources are saying it's actually the cause. As one source sees it, Affleck’s drinking was the “driving force” behind his breakup.
Not only that, but the snitch calls BS on the notion that the actor has been "working on his sobriety" as his estranged wife Jennifer Garner had hoped. “Ben hasn’t been sober or been that present for his family and relationship with Lindsay, and now everyone knows the reason why,” the insider notes. “His addiction undoubtedly took over.”
Still, another source claims that’s not how it went down at all, the relationship just “ran its course” with Ben in California and Shookus in New York City, their schedules just weren’t clicking. Well, now that he's in rehab, it'll be interesting to see if Playboy model Shauna Sexton sticks around until he's out. Lucky for Ben...or more importantly, his kids? Jennifer clearly will be.
