Who is Lindsay Shookus? It seems that Ben Affleck is back in the dating game. The movie star, who has recently filed for a divorce from Jennifer Garner, is reportedly seeing TV producer Lindsay Shookus. The new couple made their unofficial debut earlier this month when they were clicked together in New York and London. This relationship marks Ben’s first romance since his separation from Jennifer. Here’s what we know about Lindsay Shookus.
She is the producer of ‘Saturday Night Live.'
Lindsay Shookus is currently serving as the producer of “Saturday Night Live.” She is responsible for booking musical guests and hosts, as well as scouting potential cast members of the program.
After completing her studies in 2002, she was reportedly engaged as an assistant on the show. Lindsay has producing credits of over forty-five episodes of “30 Rock.” It would not be wrong to say that Shookus has become a crucial member of the “SNL” team.
She received an Emmy Award
Lindsay Shookus brought home an Emmy Award in 2015 for producing “The Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special.” In 2016, Variety reported that she was nominated for two Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards for her incredible works on “Saturday Night Live” and “Adele Live in New York City.”
Lindsay is already married
Shookus was previously married to TV artist Kevin Miller. She started dating Kevin in 2002, and the two worked together on “Saturday Night Live” the same year.
They announced their engagement in 2009 and tied the knot in 2010. However, Lindsay separated her ways from Kevin Miller in 2015, although they remained amicable. While Lindsay continues to produce “Saturday Night Live,” Kevin is reportedly serving as a director on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
'Saturday Night Live’ producer has a child
Just like Ben Affleck, Lindsay is familiar with the ins and outs of parenthood.
She and Kevin have a daughter, who was born in January 2013. A report by US Weekly revealed that Shookus and Miller spent several years in the same apartment to make co-parenting easier. Apparently, Miller was not the first man Shookus dated. Page Six reported that the producer secretly dated a number of actors, including Chris Noth and Jon Hamm.
People reported that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus were in a relationship in 2013 despite the fact that Ben was still married to Jennifer. The publication also claimed that the two were trying to hide their relationship from media. Regardless of what's going on between them, Shookus and Affleck’s romance is moving at breakneck speed in the pages of the world's most famous tabloids. What do you say?
