Ben Affleck rose to prominence with his incredible performance in "Batman." The actor was reportedly seeing another lady after his separation from Jennifer Garner. Finally, he found love in "Saturday Night Live" producer Lindsay Shookus. A report by People reveals that Affleck and TV producer Shookus are in a serious relationship and they may announce their wedding in coming months.
The news outlet also claims that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus were seeing each other for years, but they could not develop a relationship due to his marriage with Jennifer Garner.
A separate report by US Weekly suggests that their affair had been going on while both were still married to their respective spouses. Shookus used to visit Ben Affleck at his Los Angeles house. They spent quality time together and did not let the world know about their relationship.
Was Jennifer Garner aware of this relationship?
To confuse the matters, Daily Mail is claiming that they got together three days after Ben's separation from Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer reportedly discovered the affair in 2015 around the same time the "Batman" actor confirmed his separation from the "Miracles from Heaven" actress. They filed for a divorce in May 2017 as things could not work properly.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck remain friends for the sake of their kids
In the meantime, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have decided to remain good friends for the sake of their children. We have no idea about what the future has in store for Ben and his new girlfriend, but it's clear that the actor is not going to leave Garner as they have three children together. In 1997, Ben Affleck was in a relationship with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. They remained together for three years and worked in a lot of films.
The couple called it quit in January 1999, and Ben decided to move on with Jennifer Lopez. Affleck and Lopez were together from 2002 to 2004, but they received extensive media coverage after the success of "Gigli." The actor got attracted to Jennifer Garner in 2004. They established a friendship on the set of "Pearl Harbor." Ben and Jennifer have three kids together: daughters Violet Anne and Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, and son Samuel Garner.
