Jennifer Garner looked ready for work as she showed up at the LA set of her new action film Peppermint on Tuesday.
The 45-year-old star had on a smart grey blazer, jeans and sneakers and her brunette locks were worn down as she had an entourage with her.
This sighting comes just as UsWeekly claimed the Alias vet pretty much saved her ex Ben Affleck’s life by getting back into rehab in September.

Ben slipped back into drinking around the time of the Emmys in September.
‘Ben reached a breaking point,’ a source revealed to the site. ‘He knew he was spiraling and was unhappy.
‘There wasn’t a specific instance that made him check into a facility. It was more of a prevention. People in his life knew he needed a treatment that was more serious than what he was currently getting.’
The Argo star entered an inpatient 30-day program September 25.
And even though he was dating to Lindsay Shookus, he turned to his ex Garner.
‘Ben told her everything that was going on with his life. He was devastated but knew he had to change,’ the source said.

They have kids Violet, 11, Seraphina, eight, and Samuel, five, together.

The source added: ‘After everything they’ve been through, she is going to continue to be there for him when he needs her. No matter what the circumstances.’
Even though Jen and Ben are about to finalize their divorce, they still have a bond.

‘From the smoking to drinking and gambling, Jen has always been the person who can get through to him. She keeps Ben in line as much as she can.
‘Jen is a good person — she’s an angel. No one ever told her she needs to stick around to help Ben, but she always will. They are both good parents and good people,’ it was added.
‘He knows he can’t get through this all alone. His slip-ups have affected his loved ones, but the good thing is that he’s making strides toward recovery. Friends and family have never seen Ben so proactive and serious about wanting to get better.’
Support: As far as why Jen always helps him, the source said: ‘She wants her kids to have the best dad possible, and Jen knows Ben can be that person.’ Here they are seen on Halloween
Now Ben is better.
‘He has learned that dealing with his addiction is an ongoing battle. He understands he cannot just wake up one morning and say, “OK, we’re all done.” Treatment is like a job.’
And checking out after five days was OK. ‘He realized it wasn’t the best scenario for him and he was allowed to go.’ He is now in an outpatient program.
