The world was in shock when news about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's divorce broke out. The couple, who's been married for ten years and blessed with three children, announced their divorce last June which left their fans in complete disbelief. But the controversy just got juicier when reports revealed the real reason behind the break up! Hollywood Life has the deets.
Looks like the divorce and the controversy surrounding the couple is not dying down any time soon. Ben, 34, and Jen, 43, didn't divulge any specific reason for why they have decided to end their ten-year relationship, but looks like some people are willing to do the reveal for them. Recent reports have been pointing the couple's ex nanny, Christine Ouzounian, as reason for the split.
The 28-year-old who have been working for the couple as a nanny has allegedly told her closest friends about the 'intimate' relationship she shares with Ben. According to an insider, it all started as an innocent flirtation that quickly turned romantic when the two started to spend more time together (probably with the kids there). One of Christine's friends told the publication that she has already started to fall in love with him. "Ben told Christine things that led her to believe they were going to be fully together. Over the course of the last few months, their relationship became very real and serious to Christine."
But Jen was soon able to figure that something was up; she knew about the Bahamas trip where Ben and the nanny allegedly became "intimate" and that for her was the last straw firing Christine a soon as she found out.
All eyes are on Christine for being accused of being the third party in this time's most talked about split in Hollywood. So who really is this ex-nanny? Here are 5 things you need to know about her:
