Jennifer Garner "cares" about Ben Affleck's sobriety.
The 'Peppermint' star may have split from the 'Justice League’ actor but she is still focused on helping Ben through the tough times, after recently staging an intervention.
A source told People magazine: "There are no secrets, and Jen is great at explaining what's going on in ¬age-appropriate ways. She tells them Ben is sick and needs doctors. What she ultimately cares about is his sobriety and whether she can rely on him to co-parent. She is trying to keep the father of her children alive. It's devastating for her to have to stage an intervention in the middle of the afternoon, pretty much in public. But this was a crisis situation."
Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that Ben "wanted to go" to rehab before his estranged wife Jennifer encouraged him to go.
An insider shared: "Ben had been drinking alone for days. He was in bad shape. He had barely been eating and had not showered. It didn't take much convincing. He wanted to go, and he cooperated. He knew he needed help and was vocal about it."
Rehab is a "major step in the right direction" for the actor, who previously spent time in a facility for alcohol addiction in 2001 and 2017.
