As the wife of popular actor Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner has found herself in the spotlight once again after reports surfaced that her husband has been spending a significant amount of time and money on gambling. Affleck, known for his roles in films such as “Gone Girl” and “Argo,” has been open about his struggles with addiction in the past, but Garner wants to make it clear that he is not a gambling addict.
In a recent interview with InTouch Weekly, Garner spoke candidly about her husband’s gambling habits, stating, “Ben enjoys playing poker and occasionally goes to casinos, but he is not addicted to gambling. It’s something he does for fun and to relax, not because he has a problem.”
Garner went on to explain that she and Affleck have open and honest conversations about his hobbies, and that she fully supports him in pursuing his interests. She also noted that Affleck is a responsible gambler who knows his limits and never bets more than he can afford to lose.
Despite Garner’s reassurances, rumors continue to swirl about Affleck’s gambling habits, with some tabloids even going so far as to label him as an “addict.” However, those closest to the couple have maintained that Affleck’s gambling is just a harmless pastime, and that he is in no way jeopardizing his family’s financial stability.
In addition to Garner’s comments, Affleck himself has addressed the rumors in a recent interview, stating, “I enjoy playing poker and I’m not ashamed of it. It’s something I do in my free time and it helps me unwind. I know my limits and I always play responsibly.”
Affleck’s honesty and Garner’s support have only strengthened their bond as a couple, and they remain committed to each other and their children despite the constant scrutiny from the media. As Garner summed it up, “Ben is a loving husband and father who works hard to provide for his family. I trust him completely and I have no doubt that he will always put us first.”
With Garner’s words in mind, it’s clear that while Affleck may enjoy a game of poker now and then, he is far from being a gambling addict. The couple’s strong partnership and communication skills continue to keep them grounded in the face of ongoing rumors and speculation.
