7 Ways Nanny Christine Ouzounian Could Have Set Ben Affleck Up About Their Alleged Affair

Insiders close to the nanny, Christine Ouzounian, say she likely initiated the alleged affair, which reportedly began in the spring, shortly after she was hired—and by mid-July she had told friends she was in love with the two-time Oscar winner Ben Affleck.

"She's been bragging about their romance," a source reveals. "Her friends were saying she had delusions of being Ben's next wife."

Christine, who has yet to comment on the affair allegations, flashed a smile for photographers on July 29. Insiders say she's happy that her relationship with Ben has come to light. "She fell for him in a big way," a source says.

"She was hoping he'd go public and say she is his girlfriend," the source notes. "Those close to her suspect she told the press her story. They say she wants it out there so people will think Ben chose her over Jen."

In fact, some find it rather bizarre the paparazzi figured out the exact times they'd be together, like "the right moment to capture Christine handing over the champagne" at Ben's place on July 17, says the tipster.

"People are asking who tipped off the photographers, and a lot of people think Christine herself could be responsible for the leaks," dishes the insider.

No one, however, is having a harder time dealing with all of this than Ben. Sources say he's beside himself with worry over Christine's impact on his family—especially if she got pregnant. "That would be his worst nightmare," the insider divulges. "The way he tells it, he actually wanted to clear his head during his break from Jennifer, but then Christine kind of seduced him by giving him the attention he was craving. But Ben never thought their relationship would go this far."
