Ben Affleck who recently married Jennifer Lopez, revealed how he still would have been drinking if he was married to Jennifer Garner.

“Part of why I started drinking..” &#8211; Ben Affleck Revealed How His Marriage With Jennifer Garner Made Him Feel ‘Trapped’.

Ben Affleck made a shocking revelation about his drinking problems and his
marriage with Jennifer Garner. The actor had a long, much-discussed affair with
Jennifer Lopez during their prime, even appearing in the song Jenny From The
Block. But the duo split eventually. The duo first got hitched in 2005 and by
2018 decided to split mutually. Meanwhile, Lopez ended her relationship with
Alex Rodriguez.



The two have been enjoying their new marriage. Now, it is no secret that the
Gone Girl actor has struggled with alcoholism for years, and has been in and out
of rehab. In an interview, he opened up about his alcohol addiction and the
reason behind it all.


BEN AFFLECK BLAMES TROUBLED MARRIAGE WITH JENNIFER GARNER FOR HIS DRINKING
PROBLEMS

Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s new marriage was the highlight of this year. But
during an interview
[https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a42209171/ben-affleck-still-drinking-married-jennifer-garner/]
on The Howard Stern Show, the actor got candid about his life as he spoke of his
struggles with marriage and alcoholism. Stating that he felt trapped in the
marriage, he said, “I’d probably still be drinking, It’s part of why I started
drinking…because I was trapped.” The kids were the major reason why he could not
leave the marriage, even though he was unhappy.



He shared how he tried to solve the problems by drinking scotch and falling
asleep on the couch, but realized that wasn’t the solution. The Last Duel actor
is a father to three kids, namely Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. He and the
Peppermint actress talked things out but realized that they had grown apart and
there was no point in pretending anymore.

knows better than anyone about the struggles of dealing with alcoholism. Despite
the issues, he and Garner ended things on good terms and co-parent the children
well. Not much is known about Affleck’s alcohol condition since he married
Lopez.
