The 46-year-old Oscar winner, dressed in fitness attire, was photographed outside of his house on Wednesday, but that doesn't mean he has left treatment for good. A source tells E! News that Affleck hasn't left rehab, explaining to us, "He travels to and from in patient to work out. He is accompanied by his therapist and coach."

Following his split with Saturday Night Live producer Lindsay Shookus, Affleck relapsed and began drinking alone, as well as with his rumored new flame Shauna Sexton, E! News learned. He reached out for help and checked back into rehab with the help of Garner to combat alcohol addiction.

"Ben was doing well for the last few months and very committed to his sobriety. But recently he started to slip up and began drinking again. He wrapped his movie and had some downtime," another insider told E! News after Affleck entered rehab. "This week, he was heavily drinking alone at home and with the Playboy model. Jen had family in town and a lot going on but she was well aware of what was going on."
