Ben Affleck

EVEN A MASK DOESN’T STOP BEN AFFLECK FROM HAVING A SMOKE

Ben Affleck can’t get away with much without those pesky paparazzi catching him in the act. He tries to keep his smoking under wraps and usually only does it when he thinks he’s alone. Even a mask doesn’t discourage him, but we can only imagine how his beard smells. Despite his bad habits, Ben never has a shortage of desirable women in his life – wonder if his latest girlfriend Ana de Armas knows how much he actually smokes…

JENNIFER GARNER: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS

You can bet that Jennifer Garner has organized a full schedule of daily activities for her kids now that they are isolating at home. Certainly studying is first on the list every day – and it’s done under mom’s watchful eye. After the book work, exercise is a priority. Jennifer and the three kids either jog, walk, or bike ride together every day. In the evening they play games or watch movies together. They don’t see a lot of dad Ben Affleck, who lives close by, and when they do, he keeps his distance. Besides, Ben is quite busy with his new girlfriend Ana de Armas.

EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE A MOTHER LIKE JENNIFER GARNER

We are always astonished at what a loving and caring mother Jennifer Garner seems to be. And she’s a MOVIE STAR, to boot! Regular everyday moms are rarely as attentive to their children- Jennifer walks or drives her three kids to school every day and picks them up after school. When she’s not available, their father Ben Affleck does the job. She also escorts them to and from church every Sunday. These lucky kids must really feel loved. It also illustrates Ben Affleck’s recent comment that his divorce from Jennifer is the biggest regret of his life.

VIOLET AFFLECK IS NO LONGER JENNIFER GARNER’S MINI-ME

We have to give Ben Affleck credit – he manages to show up just about every Sunday to take his kids to church in Brentwood along with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Ben acknowledges that Jennifer makes co-parenting easy and he appreciates her. Meanwhile, their 14 year old daughter Violet looks more like her mother every day. Violet has reached her mother’s 5’8” height and she’s still growing. Of course, Dad is 6’4” so all the kids might be tall. Jennifer says Violet is experimenting with makeup now, and once in awhile she has to tell her daughter to wipe it off before she leaves the house…

WHY IS BEN AFFLECK ALMOST SMILING?

For months we’ve been seeing photos of Ben Affleck looking pensive and irritable – often alone and smoking. Today he actually appeared to be somewhat happy as he brought his three kids to the Jimmy Kimmel show in LA. Coincidentally or NOT, it turns out that he has resumed his relationship with SNL writer Lindsay Shookus. Remember they split six months ago because he was bottoming out, and right after that he went to rehab. Apparently Lindsay is happy with his rehabilitation and she was seen leaving Ben’s New York apartment today (while he’s in LA) so they must be quite close again.

BRAD AND ANGELINA SHOULD TAKE A TIP FROM BEN AND JENNIFER

We hope Ben Affleck realizes how lucky he is to have Jennifer Garner for an ex-wife. Despite all his shenanigans that led up to their split, Jennifer has never become bitter or vengeful. They had a very civilized and modern divorce with no conflict over child custody or anything else. Jennifer continues to encourage Ben’s interaction with the kids and she maintains a good relationship with her in-laws. Above, Jennifer picked up her former mother-in-law and her daughter after they finished shopping in Brentwood.

JENNIFER GARNER TO THE RESCUE – AGAIN

So it wasn’t really “distance” that split up Ben Affleck, 46, and his girlfriend Lindsay Shookus, 38. We’re guessing Lindsay diplomatically used the excuse that they lived on different coasts to explain their sudden breakup – she couldn’t very well admit that Ben’s booze relapse was the real reason. Observers assumed that Ben dumped Lindsay for the Playboy model he’s been seen with – but it appears that Lindsay had enough of his drinking. Lindsay is a successful and smart SNL producer and she doesn’t have to put up with his nonsense. The real hero in this scenario is Ben’s long-suffering ex-wife Jennifer Garner – SHE recognized his problem and organized Ben’s trip to rehab. He’ll never find another woman like her…

BEN AFFLECK MAKES TIME FOR HIS KIDS – NO MATTER WHAT

Ben Affleck caught up with his ex Jennifer Garner and their kids as they made their way home after school. When they split, Ben leased a house not too far from their family home. It’s close enough so that he can see the kids frequently – and far enough away so that he and his new girlfriend Lindsay Shookus don’t run into Jennifer and the kids. Every time we see Ben and Jennifer (who looked AMAZING at the Oscars) he looks a little serious and pained, and she tries not to look uncomfortable. Ben is still getting help for his alcohol abuse – this week his producer girlfriend is in New York because SNL is back in production. After this photo was taken, Ben kissed the kids goodbye and they went their separate ways.

BEN AFFLECK WANTS TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION

Ben Affleck is turning on the charm for his girlfriend Lindsay Shookus’s mom. Certainly Lindsay’s mother Christine has no shortage of reasons to worry about her daughter’s choice of boyfriends. Ben, 45, has been fighting his addiction to alcohol for quite awhile, and he has a predilection for gambling. Also, his wife Jennifer Garner accused him of having an affair with their nanny before Lindsay, 37, came into the picture. Despite the shadiness of their relationship early on, successful SNL producer Lindsay and Ben are both friendly with their exes and put their children first. (Lindsay has a four year old daughter.) Mom has a lot to think about…

DID ROSE MCGOWAN’S ACCUSATIONS DRIVE BEN AFFLECK TO DRINK?

It sure looks that way. No sooner did Ben Affleck, a close buddy of Harvey Weinstein, come out and announce in a lengthy tirade that the allegations against Harvey “made him sick” and were “unacceptable,” than Rose McGowan called him a bold-faced LIAR. She tweeted that Ben knew ALL ABOUT Weinstein’s sexual shenanigans and harassment of women and tolerated it for years. Nice work, Rose. As for Ben – he spent the afternoon at his LA recovery center….
