Jennifer Garner Reportedly Has Choice Words About Ben Affleck Dating a 22-Year-Old
To say Ben Affleck's personal life has been nothing short of WTF mixed with a side of craziness would be putting things nicely. Aside from breaking up with his girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus, the Caped Crusader has recently been spending time with a 22-year-old Playboy playmate that's caught the eye of damn near everyone -- and apparently his future ex-wife. Jennifer Garner reportedly has choice words for Ben and all the "fun" he's having in plain view.
Ben seems to be smitten with Shauna Sexton as the pair have been spotted together on more than one occasion.
Photogs caught Ben and Shauna together in a car outside of a Jack in the Box on August 19, reportedly hours before the 22-year-old model spent the night at his house, Us Weekly reports. Prior to that, Shauna and Ben were spotted at dinner on August 16, one day after the Hollywood actor celebrated his 46th birthday with his children.
And Jennifer is reportedly unamused and not surprised.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage. The once Hollywood A-list couple, who have three children together -- Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6 -- filed for divorce in 2017, though recent court documents reveal it could get dismissed as neither side has filed the necessary paperwork to continue the process.
The celeb dad moved on to date Lindsay Shookus for a year before they abruptly split, with news of him and Shauna getting cozy surfacing soon after.
"Jen realized a long time ago that she cannot fix Ben and that his problems are not hers to solve," an insider told Us Weekly.
"She's not his babysitter. She just wants to protect the kids. But she does wish Ben would keep his life more private," the unnamed "Garner confidant" told the publication about Jen's annoyance with Ben's behavior.
This isn't the first time Ben Affleck turned heads for hooking up with someone half his age -- or cheating, for that matter.
Ben and his children's nanny, Christine Ouzounian, got rather ... close shortly after he and Jennifer announced their split in 2015. There are also reports Ben and Lindsay Shookus were hooking up while they were both still married -- prompting Jennifer to confront her about the affair.
