  • Ben Affleck's cheating scandal just resurfaced 
  • Ben Affleck cheated on Jennifer Garner with their children's nanny

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner recently drew flak due to their former marriage.

On Twitter, some netizen revisited Affleck’s cheating scandal. Almost five years ago, Garner and her ex-husband announced their decision to go their separate ways.

“I can’t believe Ben Affleck’s really out there and cheated on Jennifer Garner with their nanny???” Twitter user @peacheu said.

“I can’t believe Jennifer married such a [expletive] like Ben Affleck,” Twitter user @oriostar99 said.

“You ever remember what Ben Affleck did to Jennifer Garner? Jennifer Garner ugh I hate men,” Twitter user @filmchlo said.

Around that time, reports about Affleck’s affair with his children’s nanny resurfaced. But during her interview with Vanity Fair, Garner clarified that Christine Ouzounian wasn’t the reason why her marriage failed.

Rather, Garner and Affleck had already been divorced separated when Affleck was linked to Ouzounian.

“Let me just tell you something. We had been separated for months before 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,” Garner said.

Meanwhile, Garner also made headlines this week after she shared one of her son Samuel’s most adorable gestures. The young boy gave his mom a check for being his mama.

On her Instagram account, Garner shared a photo of an adorable-looking check featuring her son’s handwriting. The toy check, which was dated Dec. 29, 2019, is listed at $168.42.

“Apparently, birthing and raising someone is valued at $168.42. I guess I should keep my day job,” Garner captioned the photo.

Just a few days ago, Garner also expressed how emotional she is because her second child, Seraphina, is growing up a little too quickly.

Garner has a close relationship with all three of her kids with Affleck. In fact, the actress is regularly photographed spending time with Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
