But the actress put on a brave face as she dropped her children off to school. The 13 Going On 30 star was pictured smiling as she ran errands in Santa Monica, California. The 46-year-old was dressed casually in jeans, a t-shirt and sunglasses, and grinned at photographers as she made her way back to her car. The actress had just dropped Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6, off at school, and was pictured walking with other mums on the school run before hopping into her car. This week, Jennifer – who separated from husband Ben in 2015 after 10 years of marriage – drove her estranged husband to rehab after reportedly staging an intervention. The mum-of-three was filmed asking paparazzi for ‘space’ and to be respectful as she prepared to leave her Pacific Palisades home with Ben in the car. Ben, 46, looked emotional in the backseat of the car as they made their way to a live-in rehab centre, after making a final stop at fast food restaurant Jack In The Box. Ben was seen earlier in the week buying a box of alcohol, with TMZ claiming this was the ‘tipping point’ of Jennifer, who then ‘staged an intervention’. The publication has claimed Ben has now entered a ‘live-in facility’ in LA County – allegedly the third time he’s sought treatment for alcohol issues. A source told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Jen is proud of the strides he’s made, but some of his friends were worried he might be taking some steps backward and could be on a slippery slope. They added: ‘Ben wants nothing more than to get sober for his kids, for Jen and also for his career. He realises the dangers of what he could lose in life if he doesn’t stick to the programme, and dedicate himself to these big changes. ’ Just before Ben returned to rehab, Jennifer received a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and attended the ceremony with her and Ben’s three children. Affleck, however, did not attend, and was spotted the day before grabbing fast food with Playboy model Shauna Sexton. The Argo actor is believed to have split from TV producer Lindsay Shookus.
