Ben Affleck talks openly about his relationship with alcohol and what led to his abuse of drinking on the Howard Stern show.
There he shared his difficulties during his marriage to Jennifer Garner and how they led to his addiction to alcohol. The actors have been together for more than 10 years and have three children.
Affleck says that he often had the feeling that he could not leave because of the children, but at the same time he was not happy in the situation in which he finds himself and accordingly finds a vent in alcohol. He drank a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, finding this the only solution to escape the trap.
“I would probably still drink. That’s one of the reasons I turned to alcohol … because I felt trapped. “ Affleck told of his marriage to Garner.
In 2001, 2017 and 2018, Ben Affleck went into rehab several times for his alcohol problems. The last time was right after his divorce from Garner.
The actor says that he and his ex-wife did everything possible to keep their marriage, but things just didn’t work out.
“We had a marriage that didn’t work. It happens. She became a person I loved and respected, but I didn’t want to be married to her. We tried everything. We tried because we have children. We both didn’t want this to be the role model we show our children. “, says Ben. At the moment, they understand each other well and have left the problems behind.
Ben Affleck is currently in a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, and the two seem to be more in love than ever.
