LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck's personal hygiene is reportedly infuriating ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and also driving away potential partners.

According to RadarOnline, the Oscar-winning actor's sloppy and unkempt habits have left Garner unimpressed and grossed out.

Sources claim Garner has urged Affleck to clean up his act, move on, and find someone new if he’s serious about starting fresh.

Jennifer Garner frustrated with Ben Affleck's hygiene habits

Ben Affleck’s recent behavior is reportedly pushing ex-wife Jennifer Garner to her limits—especially when it comes to his hygiene and manners. Affleck, who shares three children—Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13—with Garner, was recently photographed spitting phlegm on a sidewalk during a walk in his LA neighborhood.

 

According to an insider, Garner was far from amused. “It was disgusting and Jennifer saw the pictures and read him the riot act,” the source revealed.

“She certainly doesn't want their kids to think it's okay to spit on a public sidewalk – it's unsanitary and rude," they added.

 But that’s not the only issue bothering the 'Alias' star. The source added that Affleck’s hygiene habits have long been a point of frustration.

“There are days he works out and then goes straight into work with no shower. And he never picks up after himself. When he's at her place he always leaves a mess,” the insider claimed. “She really wishes he'd grow up."

A source close to the situation claims one of Affleck’s most off-putting habits is his heavy smoking, despite previous reports that the Oscar winner had promised to quit last year.

 

The insider shared, "The stink of cigarettes gets on his clothes, in his hair, on his fingers. He stinks like stale smoke all the time – it's so gross."

 

Affleck’s hygiene and lifestyle choices aren’t just irritating ex-wife Garner—they're reportedly making it tough for him to attract a “quality woman” after his split from Jennifer Lopez last summer.

“Ben has plenty going for him, but these habits are a turn-off to women,” the source added.

 

Affleck has been leaning heavily on Garner since his breakup with Lopez—a dynamic that hasn’t been easy on Garner’s current boyfriend, burger-chain CEO John Miller, 47.

 

“Jennifer feels an obligation to be there for Ben but it's not doing her relationship with John any favors," the insider spilled.

“She's desperate for Ben to move on and stop bugging her, but it's hard to imagine that women will want to date him with all these gross habits. She wants him to get a handle on it so she can get on with her own life," they added.

After news broke about Ben Affleck's sloppy habits reportedly straining his relationship with Jennifer Garner, social media users were quick to express their opinions.

One user wrote, "She should never take him back! He said the ugliest things about her before he married JLo."

Another added, "She deserves better."

A comment read, "What now Ben!!?"

A user explained, "No, she's moved on. She has him in her life, because he is the father of her kids. That connection can't be switched off! I don't think this woman would go back to him, this relationship wasn't a Hollywood stunt, to keep the couple current with the media. There'd be real hurt there! I think she's too real to do that to herself again."

A user shared, "Yeah he needs help."
