Latest news about Ben Affleck claimed that the actor is purportedly packing on pounds a few months after the announcement of his divorce with Jennifer Garner.

According to speculations and latest news rumors, Ben Affleck may be having a hard time juggling the pressure of his split with his wife of 10 years and the rumors of having an affair with their ex-nanny, Christine Ouzounian.

"Since he's been with Jennifer Garner, though, Ben Affleck has been consistently pretty lean and looking good, largely thanks to her forcing him to eat healthily," Celeb Dirty Laundry said in their latest news report about the actor.

"But now that Ben has cut ties with Jennifer, partly because of her controlling ways, he's determined to do what he wants and that means boozing, partying and eating whenever and whatever he wants. That's bad enough, but insiders also says Ben is stress eating because he's upset about the divorce."

Aside from the stress from his divorce with Jennifer Garner and alleged affair with former nanny, Christine Ouzounian, some speculate that some of the "Batman" actor's extra pounds come from drinking.

"Ben's battle with alcoholism has been rearing its ugly head," an insider previously told In Touch magazine, as quoted by CDL.

"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)."

Amid their split, Naughty Gossip's latest news report about the former couple claimed that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted in Los Angeles after a marriage counseling session, sparking speculations that the two may be trying their best to patch things up after the actor's alleged affair with their ex-nanny.

Some may see this as a positive development, particularly since the pair has three children together - Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.
