Ben Affleck Shuts Down Nanny Dating Story, Brands It "Complete Garbage"

Ben Affleck isn’t taking these reports suggesting that he’s dating his children’s nanny lightly, with the actor threatening legal action against the magazine that published the story. 

Earlier this week, Us Weekly claimed that following his split from wife Jennifer Garner, Affleck was now romancing 28-year old Christine Ouzounian - the woman he and Jen had briefly hired to take care of their three children in the spring. 

A source told the publication: “They would hang out without the kids and they were very flirty”, while Christine’s pal also suggested: “She says Ben really, really likes her. She’s saying this is true love.”

The 42-year old hunk has since rubbished the claims, with a spokesman for Affleck later stating: “All allegations of a romantic relationship are baseless and untrue."

In a separate statement to the New York Daily News, the rep added: “The story is complete garbage and full of lies. You shouldn't be able to hide behind 'blind sources.' We are considering legal options."

The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star and Garner confirmed news of their divorce last month, revealing they had parted ways after ten years of marriage.
