Friends of Ben Affleck are reportedly worried and concerned he is gambling again, according to a claim of a recent report. But this story has been debunked, although the actor is indeed good at playing cards, he isn't gambling again.

Life & Style's latest issue claims that while Affleck hasn't been seen drinking after his recent rehab stint, he reportedly cannot drop his other "bad habits" such as gambling. The alleged source of the outlet contends the actor was spotted attending underground gambling parties, as well as private parties at private houses so that his ex-wife Jennifer Garner would not find out what he's doing.

"Going to private parties at private houses, like he is now, means he has to worry less about [ex-wife Jennifer Garner] finding out," the untraceable source asserted.

However, the tabloid only maintains Affleck was going to underground gambling parties or private parties at private houses, but it didn't provide other details like when were these events happened, where these homes allegedly are, and how many times he goes to such places to gamble. Still, the alleged insider insisted Affleck is just denying he's a gambling addict, so Garner wouldn't find out he's doing one of his "bad habits."

But, it's worth mentioning Affleck was frequently photographed going to church with Garner and their kids, so it's suspicious he is somehow going to alleged underground gambling parties or parties at private houses, and he's hiding his "gambling addiction" to his ex-wife.

In fact, a mutual pal of the actor and Gossip Cop confirmed he is not gambling and going to such places and his friends weren't worried because the actor isn't gambling. Thus, the report of the tabloid is purely fabricated.

This isn't also the first time the tabloid wrote a false narrative involving the actor. Back in November 2017, the same outlet wrongly reported Garner is taking back Affleck. However, the actor was already dating "Saturday Night Live" producer Lindsay Shookus at that time. The ex-spouses just celebrated the Thanksgiving together with their three children, but they didn't rekindle their romance despite the claim.

Then, in March 2018, the tabloid claimed Affleck and Shookus were planning to have a baby, and then reported after a few months the two were planning to get married so they can start their own family. The time has already proved that none of these claims happened. Hence, the latest claim that the actor is going to underground gambling parties and private parties isn't true and his friends weren't also worried.
