Ben Affleck goes Halloween shopping with daughter amid are-they-aren’t-they rumours with Jennifer Lopez

“Ben may come across looking all happy and cheery. And he is, for the most part, but he certainly has his down moments,” a source told In Touch Weekly. “His reputation has taken a huge hit, and he’s grappling with a lot of guilt,” the insider explained.

Affleck has been fortunate to have a strong support system in place, with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner and longtime friend, Matt Damon, standing by him during this difficult time.

Given Affleck’s history with alcohol and past struggles, “There’s always a worry that he’ll turn back to his vices when the going gets tough,” noted the source. “That’s the main reason you’re seeing Jen going over there nearly every day to make sure he’s okay. His mother, his brother, and his close friends, like Matt Damon, are helping out too.”
