Ben is moving in the right direction following his sobriety setback in October. Ever since a video surfaced of the actor drunkenly stumbling on Halloween, his focus has been on “being healthy,” a source tells Us, and part of that is eating right and exercising: “He’s always enjoyed working out.” The actor’s upcoming movie, the thriller Deep Water (inset, on set), is also helping motivate him to stay healthy and sober. Notes the source, “He’s working out two hours a day.”
FAMILY FIRST Affleck, 47, is leaning on his loved ones for support as well. “He’s anchored himself around his family,” says the source. Not surprisingly, his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, has been his rock through it all — she was the one who pushed him to go to rehab in 2018 – and Affleck is trying not to disappoint her. “Ben has the utmost respect for Jen and how she’s supported him through his bouts of addiction,” says an insider. “He continues to work hard at his sobriety — it’s important to him and to the family.”
