Three weeks after checking back into rehab for alcohol addiction, Ben Affleck is still getting to know new flame Shauna Sexton.

While the Justice League actor, 46, has been spending time at a Malibu treatment center he’s been seen playing basketball with a coach at his Los Angeles home where Sexton, 22, has been spotted visiting.

“Ben and Shauna met about a month ago,” a source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “They’re just getting to know each other.”

The Playboy model was photographed on Sunday leaving the treatment facility Affleck has been staying at. She drove Affleck’s SUV to the center and has been seen driving the vehicle since last week.

The two were first spotted together enjoying a dinner date a week before Affleck entered rehab. Sexton’s car has been seen at the Oscar winner’s house while he returns home to work out with a trainer during the day.
