Christine Ouzounian, the “nanny” for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, became tabloid fodder in 2015. Rumors circulated that Ouzounian had had an affair with Affleck, deepening speculation about the actor’s personal life.
Allegations of an Affair
Ouzounian, who was 28 at the time, had worked as a nanny for Affleck and Garner’s three kids. Around the time this was happening, rumors began to swirl that she and Affleck were dating. Affleck’s representatives denied those reports, responding with a statement of their own that said,” complete garbage and full of lies,” but Ouzounian allegedly told friends she was “in love with him.”
Media Attention and Public Response
The supposed affair was soon all over entertainment news. Ouzounian was snapped spotting making drops, including one famous shot of her bringing champagne to Affleck’s house. And this only added flame to the rumors surrounding their romantic relationship.
Potential Tell-All Revelation
In the midst of all that controversy, reports eventually emerged claiming Ouzounian was weighing up going public with her version of events. It was reported that she had considered writing a tell-all book on her time with Affleck. This could have revealed a lot of the actor’s personal life and lifestyle during that time.
Affleck’s Denial and Garner’s Perspective
Despite all of the contours of their drama, Affleck steadfastly denied that he ever got romantic with Ouzounian. He said the relationship was business-related. However, Jennifer Garner addressed the situation in 2016, saying that the nanny “had nothing to do with our decision to divorce.” She told Good Morning America that they had agreed months before the allegations.
Ouzounian’s Life Post-Scandal
After the media buzz, Ouzounian took a hiatus from her public life. She got into real estate, and then she went to insurance. By early 2023, she was said to be employed as an Assistant Vice President of National Commercial Sales for a title insurance company based in Los Angeles.
Public Interest and Media Speculation
Affleck’s rumored affair with Ouzounian had everyone talking, and it made for a lot of tabloid fodder. If Ouzounian writes a tell-all book, that might just pique interest again and provide some flavor about what really happened at the peak of Affleck’s hellish crisis.
