Ben Affleck just quit his latest movie Triple Frontier, reports Deadline, to “take some time to focus on his wellness and his family.”

The news comes after his highly publicized split from Jennifer Garner, and a new relationship announcement with Lindsay Shookus. He’s also been in rehab for alcohol addiction.

“I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction,” he wrote four months ago on Facebook. “Something I’ve dealt with in the past and will continue to confront. I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step.”

Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum had also left Triple Frontier in the spring.
