The Star’s Washing Her Hands of Her Ex Ben Affleck’s Drinking Demons
Stepping out on August 2, Jennifer Garner hit the streets in Brentwood, LA, with her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s mum, Christine Anne Boldt. The pair have remained close since Bennifer split in 2015 – and with Ben’s partying spiralling out of control as his relationship with Saturday Night Live producer Lindsay Shookus heats up, Christine is turning to the actress for advice.
But while Jen is deeply worried about Ben, she’s admitted to friends she can no longer help him. ‘She’s supportive of Christine helping Ben,’ says a source, ‘[but] she can’t be expected to provide unending counsel to his family.’
In fact, the 45-year-old has been quietly trying to distance herself from the fallout surrounding Ben’s new relationship. ‘[Jen] has done everything she possibly can over the years to help him get sober,’ adds the insider of the actor, who has long suffered alcohol abuse issues. Now, Jen’s moving on with her life.
