Barely a month after announcing him and Jennifer Garner‘s divorce—Ben Affleck has a new problem to worry about—rumors about dating his kids new nanny, Christine Ouzounian.
Affleck’s rep gave a statement to JustJared.com in response to Us Weekly‘s story about the pair seeing each other.
The rep said that they strongly deny the story. It is “outrageous and built on blind sources.” The actor’s rep also added that possible legal options are being considered. Ben’s rep also shot down Us‘s story of romance, saying, “all allegations of a romantic relationship are baseless and untrue.”
According to Us Weekly, when Christine Ouzounian first started caring for Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3, Ben and Jen were in the midst of a secret 10-month trial separation. The Beverly Hills nanny and the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star developed a serious attraction. Reports from Us Weekly also say that the pair spent time together at Ben’s new Los Angeles pad on July 17, and the two were in constant contact over text and email. “She says Ben really, really likes her,” says a friend of the nanny. “She’s saying this is true love.”
