Just weeks after the civil and family-oriented split between Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, here comes the juicy gossip to mix things up a bit.

US Weekly reported that Affleck was being flirty with Garner’s former nanny, Christine Ouzonian. What’s more is that the rumored relationship was apparently what caused the A-list marriage to crumble.

“They would hang out without the kids, and they were very flirty,” an alleged friend of Ouzonian told US Weekly.
Ouzonian, 28, was hired by Garner from a top Beverly Hills agency to take care of their three children, nine-year-old Violet, six-year-old Seraphina, and three-year-old Samuel. The nanny graduated from Arizona State University and previously took care of the children of other celebrities such as Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka.
Garner employed the young nanny when she and her husband were undergoing a trial separation that went on for 10 months. The Elektra actress was then reportedly suspecting Affleck’s secret affair, leading to Ouzonian’s dismissal.
Even more scandalous, the insider further told reporters that despite her firing, Ouzonian and Affleck were in constant contact with each other and that the girl thinks of the affair as true love.
“She says Ben really, really likes her. She’s saying this is true love,” says the insider friend. Christine had not yet released any statement regarding the alleged affair, but it seems that Garner’s ex-nanny couldn’t care less and was looking fabulous when pictures of her were taken in LA.

The blonde was looking like a celebrity with her designer outfit, even more so when she’s accompanied by a woman that appeared to be her personal stylist.
However, Affleck’s camp was in full denial and obviously not pleased with the out-of-the-blue rumor.
“The story is complete garbage and full of lies,” said Affleck’s rep. “The story is tabloid lies best suited for the supermarket check-out counter. This story is shameful,”
Ben’s camp is considering legal options.
