Jennifer Garner’s ‘Negative Energy’ Caused Ben Affleck Divorce, Not Nannygate Scandal, Source Claims

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been separated for almost five years and divorced for almost three years. And back in the day, the “Batman v Superman” star was blamed for their split.

Years ago, Affleck was accused of cheating on Garner with their children’s nanny, Christine Ouzounian. However, the actor’s camp vehemently denied the allegations.

“It’s tabloid journalism hiding behind blind sources. It’s a shameful ploy to stay relevant to the magazine. All allegations of a romantic relationship are baseless and untrue,” a source told E! News.

Around the same time, a source close to Garner and Affleck also said that Ouzounian wasn’t to blame for the couple’s divorce. While speaking with E! News, the source did say that Ouzounian wasn’t doing her job as a nanny, but she and Affleck didn’t have an affair.

“Ben is absolutely not dating anyone. There is nothing physical or romantic between Ben and Christine,” the source said.

“Dating is not his focus and it hasn’t been his focus throughout the separation period,” the source added.

The insider went on to pass the blame to Garner by saying that Affleck grew tired of his ex-wife’s negative energy and constant berating that’s why they decided to go their separate ways. However, Affleck never cheated on Garner.

Meanwhile, the allegations about Affleck and Ouzounian having an affair didn’t end. In fact, another source said that the nanny was so excited over Affleck setting cover meet-ups for them.

“Eventually, she couldn’t contain her excitement and spilled the beans that she was dating Ben Affleck… she told her friends she was completely in love with him,” the second source said.

Today, not much is known about Ouzounian’s whereabouts. Shortly after the scandal broke out, she was fired from being Affleck and Garner’s nanny.

At present, Garner and Affleck are still friends, and they continue to co-parent their young children, Violet, 14, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 7.
