He has yet to address this, and has instead invested his time by hanging out with his children, which is co-parents with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

Ben completed a 40-day stint at a Malibu rehab facility to battle alcohol addiction.

He released a statement shortly after vowing to beat his addiction and also to fight for his family.

In the Instagram post, Ben said: Battling any addiction is a lifelong and difficult struggle. Because of that, one is never really in or out of treatment. It is a full-time commitment. I am fighting for myself and my family. So many people have reached out on social media and spoken about their own journeys with addiction. To those people, I want to say thank you.

Your strength is inspiring and is supporting me in ways I didnt think was possible. It helps to know I am not alone. As Ive had to remind myself, if you have a problem, getting help is a sign of courage, not weakness or failure.

With acceptance and humility, I continue to avail myself with the help of so many people and I am grateful to all those who are there for me. I hope down the road I can offer an example to others who are struggling.
