Benjamin Geza Affleck-Boldt, better known as Ben Affleck---who is also better known as Batman and Matt Damon's best friend--- has been riddled with numerous controversy since his first foray into sobriety in 2001.

Affleck, one of Hollywood's biggest actors, had previously opened up about his alcohol addiction which eventually led to the end of his marriage to actress Jennifer Garner. The former couple, who met in 2004 and married the year after, announced their split in 2015.

Both are parents to three children--- their eldest Violet, second daughter Seraphina, and youngest Samuel. The stars finalized their divorce in 2018.

Now, it seems Ben Affleck has found another shot at love with 31-year-old Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas.
