“Batman” actor Ben Affleck was seeing a new woman in his life even before he and Jennifer Garner agreed to file for divorce. He and TV producer Lindsay Shookus have been having an affair three years ago according to a source.

The source revealed to Us Weekly that the affair has been going on while both were still married to their respective spouses. According to US Magazine, "Shookus would frequently travel to L.A. to scout talent for SNL so she could spend time with the Oscar winner.

Meanwhile, Affleck was still married to Garner."

Jennifer Garner aware of her husband and Lindsay Shookus' affair

However, there are sources saying that they only got together three months ago. This report contradicts the news that Lindsay Shookus separated from her husband to be with Affleck. NBC’s Kevin Miller and Jennifer Garner reportedly discovered the affair in 2015 around the same time Affleck and the “Miracles from Heaven” actress announced their separation, but they filed for divorce only early in May 2017.

The 44-year-old actor and the “SNL” producer were spotted in LA last week and met in London to watch Sam Mendes’ play “The Ferryman” according to Huffington Post. The duo is taking things slowly but consistently send text messages, meet and sleep together as revealed by a source close to Garner and Affleck.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner remain friends and are co-parenting their kids

Casey Affleck’s brother remains committed to co-parenting with his ex-wife and both are prioritizing their children. They went on a Caribbean vacation and lately spent the 4th of July holiday together with the kids. The family is a picture of a united and loving family on the outside but the couple is already living their own separate lives.

They are projecting a closely-knitted family because the ex-couple still has a special bond of friendship between them.

Ben Affleck admires the way Jen is caring for their three kids – Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. He has been vocal about his admiration for his ex-wife’s persona. Garner admitted that she and her ex-husband are great friends.

Their friendship is really evident every time they are together.

Shookus is the first woman linked to the “The Accountant” actor. He and Kevin Miller’s ex-wife knew each other for quite a long time. The 36-year-old producer is currently in the spotlight for dating one of Hollywood’s high-calibre actors. Ben Affleck’s new lady love was one of Billboard’s 50 Most Powerful Executives in the industry in 2015.
