Ben Affleck To Rehab After Week Of Partying With Playboy Model (Video)

His former wife and mother of his children, Jennifer Garner, came to the rescue of Ben Affleck today as he could be seen looking ‘distressed’ in the back of her SUV as she drove him to rehab.

The 46-year-old actor looked emotional as he left his house in a car driven by Jennifer. The actor reportedly arrived at The Canyon live-in rehab facility, in Malibu where he checked in for an 'extended period of time.'

Sources told People magazine in the US that Ms Garner organized an ‘intervention’ for Mr Affleck who had been out partying for a week with 22-year-old former Playboy model Shauna Sexton after breaking up with SNL producer Ms Lindsay Shookus, with whom he had a year-long affair.

“Ben likes a woman with brains and beauty but he also likes to be free to do what he wants,” a source told US Weekly, whilst adding that when it comes to his estranged wife Jennifer Garner, she's “certainly not' happy he's dating a young model.”

“Her concern right now is not who he is dating. What she ultimately cares about is his sobriety and whether she can rely on him to co-parent.”

“Of course she's not pleased he's dating a 22-year-old Playboy model. Jen has come to expect this from Ben. She's not going to get involved. She can't make decisions for him.”
