There are cracks in one of Hollywood’s seemingly strong marriages. Star Magazine is reporting that Jennifer Garner is seeking help from a noted sex counselor/therapist named Dr. Holly Hein. Jen apparently “checks in” with Dr. Hein every so often because Ben Affleck is “very insecure” and likes Jen to “play the devoted wife”. Still, the Star report seems to take pains to say that Jen is only going to this sex therapist because she wants her marriage to last. Here’s a question – if they have marriage problems that stem from emotional and behavioral issues, why not a traditional therapist? Why a “sex therapist”? And why is Jen going alone?

Four years into her relationship with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner is seeing someone else: a sex counselor!

The 37-year-old actress has been spotted several times in recent weeks with noted author and therapist Dr. Holly Hein.

“Jennifer has had some ups and downs with Ben, and she likes to check in with Dr. Hein once in a while,” says a source.

They talk tips on keeping the romance alive and dealing with Ben’s need for attention.

“Ben’s great, but he can be very insecure. He likes Jen to play the devoted wife all the time,” the source explains.

Still, Jen’s more than willing to balance Ben, 36, two kids, a career and counseling. “Jennifer doesn’t want to lose him. She’s in this for the long haul.”

I don’t believe the bulk of this. My guess is that someone, somewhere got a picture of Jennifer with Dr. Hein. And Star just made up a little story to go with a picture. Star is just looking to tarnish the image of a couple who is nearly universally liked. I do believe two pieces of the story though: I think Affleck is probably a bit insecure (and he may even have a wandering eye) and I think Garner is definitely “in this for the long haul”. She’s vying to be the next “America’s Sweetheart”, and sweethearts don’t have two divorces.

Note by Celebitchy: Garner was photographed out getting coffee with Hein on 12/30/08 (above) and outside her house on 3/31/09. Maybe they’re just friends.
