After 10 blissful years of marriage, the couple called it quits in 2015 and got divorced three years later. While fans were led to believe that it was an amicable separation, Affleck’s expression of regret and apology in The New York Times article in 2020 got people thinking otherwise. Moreover, an insider revealed to USWeekly that Affleck reportedly cheated on Garner with SNL Producer Lindsay Shookus. The source said back in 2017,

Ben and Lindsay started their affair about three years ago, just a few months after she became a mom. They were not casually dating — they were having a full-blown affair.

This probably explains why Affleck expressed immense regret over his divorce from Garner. The two remain on friendly terms even now as they are regularly spotted together for their kids’ school events and parties. The Gone Girl actor has terrible luck when it comes to maintaining healthy relationships as his marriage with Jennifer Lopez is also heading toward divorce.

Back when the couple initially filed for divorce, they claimed that they were having marital problems because of Affleck’s drinking which severely impacted their relationship and the actor’s equation with their kids. This further reasons why Affleck felt immense sorrow for the way he separated from Garner. The actor still holds his ex-wife in high regard as they continue to co-parent their kids.

Affleck was also allegedly involved with the nanny of their kids, Christine Ouzounian. While he denied any involvement with her, rumors spread far and wide as Garner learned about the same on their family vacation in the Bahamas. She was extremely angry and hurt when he found out about the same while being on a vacation with their kids. However, she emphasized the fact that they were going to file for divorce regardless of his affairs.
