Ben Affleck ‘Fighting Not to Relapse’ as his ex-wife Jennifer Garner prepares to marry her lover

Ben Affleck is said to be licking his wounds and struggling to avoid a relapse as his ex-wife Jennifer Garner prepares to marry her long-term partner John Miller. Radar Online can reveal the 53-year-old Argo actor, who has openly battled alcoholism for years, has been sober since a 2018 rehab stint, but friends now fear the stress of Garner’s engagement has left him vulnerable. Affleck, who once described their 2015 divorce as the biggest regret of my life, is now said to be finding it hard to accept Garner is moving on for good. “Ben is devastated, and it’s taking a real toll on him,” said one insider. “He’s working hard to maintain his sobriety, but the news Jen is getting ready to remarry has shaken him badly. Accepting that Jen is about to move on for good with another man feels to him like experiencing the loss all over again. Garner was recently photographed in Los Angeles wearing a diamond ring while filming her latest project. Sources say she has told friends she and Miller are actively planning their wedding. She’s already deep into planning, looking at venues, working on the guest list, even the music, said one source. Jen has been telling friends that Jon is her soulmate and that this wedding is definitely happening. She’s thrilled to finally be making it official. The former couple met on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2000, married in 2005, and share three children, Violet, Saraphina, and Samuel. They divorced in 2015, but have since been praised for their co-parenting. Affleck, who split from Jennifer Lopez earlier this year after 2 years of marriage, was even spotted in March hugging Garner on a paintballing trip with their kids, sparking rumors of a reconciliation.

She’s been very clear that her future is with Jon, and she needs Ben to accept that and let go. And so does Jon. Affleck has spoken candidly about his addiction struggles. He has admitted to multiple relapses over the years, most recently in 2019 when he said, “Relapse is embarrassing. Obviously, I wish it didn’t happen. I really wish it wasn’t on the internet for my kids to see.
