​​​​​​​Ben's Mid-Life Meltdown
Star|September 10, 2018

BEN AFFLECK HAS A NEW GIRLFRIEND... AND THE SAME BAD HABITS. NOW, JENNIFER GARNER HAS SHIPPED HIM OFF TO REHAB — AGAIN!

​​​​​​​Ben's Mid-Life Meltdown

BEN AFFLECK’s latest behavior has everyone in a tizzy. Caught by Star’s spies at Malibu’s upscale eatery Nobu on Aug. 16, the Justice League actor has been living it up like a true bachelor. Slovenly clad in loose jeans and a rumpled T-shirt, he was seen at the L.A. hotspot talking to a leggy lady — the same woman he was spotted with three days later in his Range Rover, at a Jack in the Box drive-thru. And no, it wasn’t his girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus. According to our insiders, the  38-year- old SNL producer is old news — and in her place is a Playmate. 

The A-list actor celebrated his 46th birthday with a new addition to his  Justice League: Playboy’s Miss May 2018, 22-year-old Shauna Sexton. It was the beginning of a wild, booze-filled-week that would end in his estranged wife, Jennifer Garner, carting him off to rehab — again! Says Star’s insider: “Jen has put her foot down.”
