Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Not Getting Back Together Despite Recent Sightings

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have no plans to get back together even though they have recently been spotted hanging out multiple times.

There were initial rumors suggesting that the “Justice League” actor broke up with his girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus, so he could be with his ex-wife, Garner. However, rumor debunking site, Gossip Cop, said that Affleck and Shookus are still together.

Every now and then, Affleck and Garner hang out for the sake of their three children, Violet, 12, Seraphina, 8, and Samuel, 5. The couple will also be celebrating Christmas together, but this doesn’t mean that they have plans to rekindle their romance.

The publication also noted that there’s no such thing as “trial reunion” for Affleck and Garner since they also celebrated Christmas last year as a family and have been co-parenting their children since their separation.

On Sunday, Garner and Affleck reunited after the “Tribes of Palos Verdes” actress went to church with her three children. Garner, Affleck and his mom dined out in Malibu during dinnertime. After spending time with each other, Affleck went back to a residential rehab facility.

Earlier this week, reports also swirled that Affleck checked himself to a rehab facility for a 30-day program due to his alcohol addiction. A video of the actor walking on the streets also surfaced online. In the short clip, Affleck had a difficult time walking on a straight line, and the actor almost hit a tree. By the looks of it, he was drunk at that time.

This wasn’t the first time that Affleck did a 30-day rehabilitation program for his alcohol addiction. In 2012, the actor revealed that he has been drinking excessively for several years. His dad also happened to be an alcoholic, but he decided to change his ways.

“I went to rehab for being 29 and partying too much and not having a lot of boundaries and to clear my head and try to get some idea of who I wanted to be. It was more of a ‘let me get myself straight,’ before it became a rite of passage,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
