Ben Affleck's been dating his new girlfriend since 2013

[Anonymous]

I dislike this thread. I came in bc I usually love celeb gossip, but this whole thing is a bummer.
-ending of a marriage
-what's with people who start dating while they are still married? Just finish the divorce first, dude.
-Jennifer garner seems so nice to have Ben bring her down for these many years
-a lot of objectifying comments posted
-just nothing fun about this gossip. It's like "blehhhh."

This means she is smart. I would be that is a big factor in their being together given Affleck is officially a "genius" in terms of IQ. His mother went to Harvard don't you know?

Jennifer Garner is enthusiastic and cute. But she's not that intellectual. I expect it got boring.

is this true?

Ben Affleck is dumb as a box of rocks.

Neither JG or GP are stunning, but JG is wholesome looking and appears sane.

Jennifer is pretty in a wholesome way. Gwyneth and the mistress have the masculine look in common. I think Ben is attracted to a masculine blonde look, since he also allegedly had a thing with Blake Lively.

I actually read that he had an affair with the brunette (Rebecca Hall) from The Town and ppl mistakenly thought it was Blake because the other woman is less well known.

If People magazine reports it, it's not a rumor. They only post stuff with publicist approval or with rock-solid sources.

And I haven't seen any denial from Affleck/Shookus sources that the affair happened, just a denial that the affair was the cause of the end of their marriages, saying, "no marriage ends for any one reason."

Wow, you're delusional. They have both denied the timeline saying that they only started dating after their marriages had essentially ended. Just because Ben and Jen were publicly photographed with their kids doesn't mean their marriage hadn't already ended. I think he's a douche, but I also think she put him through the paces (publicly) to punish and control him.

Who cares who these people date? They're all a bunch of self-involved navel-gazing losers who contribute nothing to society beyond bad movies...and gossip fodder I suppose.

NP. How has a marriage essentially ended if you are still married?

I think Ben and Jen were basically together until the very end because why on earth wouldn't he have pulled the plug before the 10 year mark especially with the superhero movie money supposedly about to come in.

Matt Damon is Ben Affleck's best friend. I wonder if Lindsay and Ben have known each other even longer than 2013?

Hm, and it says she also played Jennifer Lopez's body double in a sketch...

The math doesnt add up here for her to be 37 now.

I'm not going to pile on to the whole criticizing her looks thing but she definitely looks older than 37. She also has a kid. And his youngest is 5 so was a baby when this started. This is why celebrity kids are so fucked up. Anyone see the story today about the youndest of Demi and Bruce's daughters celebrating sobriety? Posting a picture of her 3 years ago totally malnourished and strung out. And her other two sisters chimed in with their sobriety milestones.

I'm glad they sought help and got healthy but so sad to go through this so young.

They separated years ago. He moved out. Then they were regularly pictured doing things as a family, but that doesn't mean they were still together. Heck, they were photographed as a family on the 4th of July but they clearly aren't together. Their marriage ended years ago. It just took them time to go public, break it to the kids, etc...probably because they had to figure out the divorce agreement privately.

She looks like a mix between Jennifer Garner and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Apparently the new/old gf is the reason Garner and Afflleck actually divorced. Garner flew out to New York to confront the gf years ago and tell her to back off, but the gf said, "nope."

She looks like Hilary Swank.

Yep, Ben Affleck slept with the current girlfriend, the nanny, Blake Lively, and more while he was married, all for their brains.

Blake Lively has been used more than Kleenex. She should have a mattress attached to her back.

Much more? No. Maybe equally.
