Just a couple of weeks after Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their divorce, almost every angle of their failed marriage has been reported, including the actor's alleged involvement with their nanny, Christine Ouzounian.
There have been speculations that aside from Ben Affleck's rumored affair with their former nanny, there's purportedly another thing that pushed Jennifer Garner to call it quits with his husband of 10 years - the actor's alleged drinking.
And according to the latest news update about the couple, Ben Affleck is allegedly entering rehab to address his urge to reach the bottle.
"Ben's battle with alcoholism has been rearing its ugly head," an insider reportedly told In Touch magazine.
"Jen says that he has been drinking throughout the day. Now, Jen is concerned by his erratic behavior and wants him to return to a rehab facility for the sake of their children (Seraphina, Samuel, and Violet)."
According to rumors, the stress and pressures faced by the actor these days push him to turn to alcohol to drown his troubles.
"Ben Affleck is under a tremendous amount of stress: his wife just dumped him, he is fighting for custody of his kid, and his nanny Ouzounian is basically blackmailing him into being in a relationship with her and threatening to tell all his secrets if he dumps her," Celeb Dirty Laundry speculated.
"Frankly, we would be shocked if he hadn't started drinking again. Jennifer Garner is reportedly going for full custody of their three kids. If Ben has any hope of getting joint custody in court, then he really has no other choice but to go to rehab."
Amid rumors of Ben Affleck's trip to rehab, Jennifer Garner has been mum about rumors that her estranged husband's alleged affair with their former nanny.
Despite going through the pain of a highly-publicized divorce, the couple has previously stated that their children continues to be their top priority.
"We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time," Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner said in a statement, as quoted by Huffington Post.
