The Oscar-winning producer and actor is said to be seeking treatment for alcohol addiction at a facility in Malibu, according to TMZ and People.

Representatives for Affleck and Garner did not immediately respond to requests for confirmation on Thursday.
The 46-year-old actor’s personal struggles this week were accompanied by several unflattering paparazzi images. Photos on Wednesday showed a visibly upset Garner arriving at his Pacific Palisades home, and soon after that, he was photographed looking pretty worse for wear while going through a fast-food drive-through with her.

Earlier this week, Affleck was photographed accepting a home delivery of beer and liquor, which TMZ reported was the tipping point for Garner, who shares three children with the Justice League star.
