In 2005, Jennifer Garner married the man who would become her fourth child. And what a problem kid Ben Affleck has turned out to be.
Jennifer Garner married the man who would become her fourth child.
And what a problem kid Ben Affleck has turned out to be.
Despite splitting in 2015 and divorcing three years later, Garner, 52, has nursed her ex-husband through his never-ending personal tumult: addiction, rehab, relapses and a string of failed romantic relationships, including one with the family nanny.
It’s the Ben show, and Garner is always on clean-up duty.
Before taking the admitted addict to rehab in 2018, the “Draft Day” actress was photographed driving her estranged and very sweaty ex through a Jack In The Box drive through to get him some grub.
Affleck, looking like a helpless kid in a carpool, sat in the backseat of Garner’s vehicle waiting to be fed by mama bird — a strikingly poignant image of dysfunction.
While he was in rehab, Garner even worked behind the scenes to save “The Way Back,” the basketball movie he was supposed to be making at the time.
“His ex-wife Jennifer Garner called me up, and told me that when he went to rehab, he took a basketball with him,” director Gavin O’Connor said in 2020. “She said, ‘Gavin, he’s asking you, please don’t pull the plug on the movie, he really wants to do this.
