In the video, Casey is seen leaving the store and is seen busy with coffee as he is asked why he is missing his brother’s big day. Casey mumbles something in response, but his words are slurred and he continues to get into his car without answering any more questions. Despite Casey and Ben having a close sibling bond in the past, and many fans expecting to see the Manchester By The Sea star attend Bennifer 2.0’s wedding, the siblings haven’t been photographed together until recently. A source close to Casey’s girlfriend Caylee Cowan EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife that the Affleck brothers have a “broken relationship” and is one of the reasons Casey is skipping the wedding. “Ben and Casey have a broken relationship and have been that way for many years,” the insider explained. “They don’t see many things on the same page. The truth is, Casey was not a part of this epic 3-day Benifer spectacle and refused to go to their wedding. It’s not that he’s not happy for them, because he is. But he doesn’t think that’s necessary and he didn’t want any part of it.” Articles trending now
