This might be the worst summer of Ben Affleck’s life. In late June, the actor and Jennifer Garner made the difficult decision to end their 10-year marriage and jointly announced plans to divorce. Today, a tabloid falsely accused Ben of dating one of their kids’ former nannies, Christine Ouzounian. After Us Weekly’s issue hit newsstands, the Argo director’s rep told E! News that the alleged romance “story is not true,” explaining, “It’s tabloid journalism hiding behind blind sources. It’s a shameful ploy to stay relevant for the magazine.” What’s more, a source assures E! News that Ben “is absolutely not dating anyone.” The source says of the devoted father of three, “Ben’s focus has been on his family and his work—with family coming first. Dating is not his focus and it hasn’t been his focus throughout the separation period.”
