“He only wants to date someone who is sober or in recovery. These past two years have been tough for Ben and as he begins to heal, one thing is very clear: his recovery comes before anything. He is not going to put his sobriety in jeopardy,” an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.
After their split, Ben moved out of the stunning $68 million mansion he shared with Jennifer and into his own rental bachelor pad in Brentwood, California. The public nature of their breakup took a toll on him, and his friends were concerned that the strain could lead to a relapse. It’s a testament to Ben’s commitment to his sobriety that he’s being cautious about who he gets involved with romantically.
“Ben has not given up on relationships and finally feels ready to move forward and start dating again. He is not going to jump into anything serious until the divorce is finalized but that does not mean he cannot date,” the insider added.
Ben’s commitment to his recovery
It’s clear that Ben is taking his time to heal and process everything that has happened. His focus on staying sober and surrounding himself with positive influences is admirable. It’s important for anyone, celebrity or not, to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being, especially after going through a tough time like a public breakup.
It’s also refreshing to see someone in the spotlight openly discussing the importance of sobriety and how it factors into their dating life. By being open about his own journey, Ben is setting an example for others who may be navigating similar challenges.
