Ben Affleck has recently made rare comments on his dating life, generating immense buzz. He reflected on his life after his highly publicized split from Jennifer Lopez. The former couple’s divorce was finalized in January 2025, and in October 2026, the 54-year-old actor stated that dating is “not a big priority” right now. The Animals star noted that he was too preoccupied with work and his three children to think about anything else.
Ben may not be very interested in romance right now, but he once had many ladies lurking around him. One of his infamous alleged flings was with his children’s nanny, Christine Ouzounian, who worked with him and his then-wife, Jennifer Garner, for a few months. Jennifer allegedly found out about their affair during a family vacation, and they were rumored to have split then and there.
Ben Affleck was accused of cheating on Jennifer Garner with their nanny
Jennifer Garner found out about Ben Affleck’s alleged affair with nanny Christine Ouzounian during a family trip to the Bahamas. In 2015, Ben, Christine, and his three kids, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, flew to the Bahamas before being joined by Jennifer. The former spouses have a home there and planned to spend a gala time during the vacation. At that time, the nanny also reportedly wanted to spend time with her fiancé; however, they split during the trip.
After a few days, Jennifer and Ben also announced that they were divorcing on June 30, 2015, that too, a day after their anniversary. These chronological events raised eyebrows, and a month later, reports claimed that Ben Affleck was involved in an affair with Christine Ouzounian, which likely led to their respective breakups. “Christine is in love with him,” a friend of hers allegedly told PEOPLE.
The source added that Jennifer Garner “was livid” over being neglected during the Bahamas trip and then finding out about Ben’s alleged affair. Christine’s friend tried to be understanding of Jennifer Garner, who, as per them, went through the “biggest betrayal” ever. In their words:
“And I don’t blame her because if my children bonded with you and you did this? It’s just the biggest betrayal.”
Christine Ouzounian’s friend further claimed that the affair “has been going on for a long time.” The source also stated that the nanny claimed to have gotten intimate with Ben and showed them photos of her sitting on his lap and in other compromising positions; however, all of these accounts are subject to verification. The reps of the people involved didn’t comment on the alleged pics.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner reacted to his affair buzz with their children’s nanny
Ben Affleck vehemently denied the allegations of cheating on his former wife, Jennifer Garner with nanny Christine Ouzounian. He called the report about the alleged affair as “complete garbage and full of lies.” A source close to Ben stated that the relationship between the actor-filmmaker and the nanny was strictly professional and there was nothing romantic between them. The source mentioned:
“They have a work relationship and a friendship. There has never been a romantic or sexual relationship. This was not one of the reasons for the breakup. There was no affair during or after [their marriage]. Ben and Jen have been separated for months.”
Jennifer Garner also broke silence on the matter during an interview with Variety. She backed her ex-husband, saying their divorce had nothing to do with nanny Christine. Jennifer further noted how tough it was for her to explain to her kids what “scandal” meant and stated:
“Let me just tell you something. We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes. It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives.”
