Since Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their separation and the news of their divorce spread, unfortunately, the status of their family has been the subject of many rumors. For one, there was a recent claim that the estranged couple opted for family therapy sessions with their three young children in a rehab facility. But another report has later refuted this claim.

Gossip Cop, a media outlet that checks out celebrity rumors for either being fake or factual, issued a report on Monday calling out RadarOnline. The latter has put out an article claiming that Garner and Affleck brought their entire family to the rehab facility for said therapy sessions.

In the RadarOnline report, an insider “close to Affleck” was cited as the source. It was claimed that all of Garner’s three children, aged 12, 9, and 6, have been in Affleck’s rehab facility. The report further said that the kids were not just visiting but were there to attend “family counseling and intense therapy sessions.”

The same source reportedly added that Garner is not hoping to fix their marriage. But she allegedly wants to still support Affleck in his path to sobriety for the sake of their kids.

Gossip Cop called RadarOnline’s story as “untrue,” adding their own claim that Affleck’s treatment does not include family therapy sessions with his children. Gossip Cop implied that the insider is “untraceable.” The insider also claimed that Garner and Affleck’s daughters are aware of what brought their father to rehab. The fact-checking website also reiterated that Garner’s rep denied the existence of therapy sessions among Garner and Affleck’s family, concluding that the story is “inaccurate.”

Garner and Affleck have been separated in 2015 but the “Alias” actress only filed for divorce in April 2017. Over the weekend, both parties finally came to an agreement with regards to splitting their fortune amid the lack of a prenup. The said settlement was reported just about a week since Garner was seen driving Affleck to the rehab facility where he is allegedly staying for at least 30 days.
