Other sources told the publication that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus began having an affair in 2013. This was two years before he and Jennifer announced their separation in 2015. Interestingly, Lindsay herself was still with her husband, Kevin Miller, who worked as a producer on SNL. The pair got split in 2014.
Sources claimed that Jennifer Garner even went as far as to speak to Lindsay’s ex-husband about the affair. At the time, the actress appeared on an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Kevin had been serving as a supervising producer. After seeking him out for a conversation, Jennifer showed him text messages between Ben Affleck and Lindsay, adding “she had proof.”
Giving more details about the affair, an insider said that Ben and Lindsay would fly back and forth, but he would mostly visit her in New York. They claimed that the duo “didn’t hide” and would use the Mandarin Oriental hotel where they were regulars. Another insider explained:
“Both of them were married at the time. They were having secret rendezvous every time he came to New York City and other places, too. Both of them were cheating on their spouses, so they were very careful about it. Jen and [Shookus’] husband both found out about it around the same time”

“When my kids were really little, I went to Paris. Ben was shooting some Batman-ish movie in London, and we went for six weeks. I took them out of school. It was the last time I really took kids out of school, but it was wonderful. It was incredible. It was so fun.”
Revealing what made their gateway so special, Jennifer Garner said that it was the part where they “bopped around.” She recalled that they went to Venice and to Paris, all while the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor was getting into character as ‘Bruce Wayne.’
