Ben Affleck and his children's nanny Christine Ouzounian have been surrounded by rumours that they dated while the actor was going through a trial separation with his estranged wife Jennifer Garner. A spokesperson for the Hollywood hunk has since rubbished the claims, calling the hearsay "garbage".
New reports have emerged claiming that Christine, 28, and Ben, 42, were involved in an affair and that the ex-nanny is "in love" with the father-of-three.
"It's been going on for a long time," an insider told People, while a second source added, "For Christine, it was a relationship. A friend warned her she was going to end up heartbroken."

While Christine herself has not made any comments, HELLO! Online takes a look at the five things we know about the pretty brunette...
1. She's a California girl.
The professional nanny grew up in Santa Monica, not far from Tinsel Town, and is the typical California girl. "She's very well put-together and fun," Christine's friend told People. Prior to her job as a nanny, Christine also worked as a teacher for Head Start Academy, a concierge at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and a sales intern at Prudential California Real Estate, according to her now defunct LinkedIn profile.
2. She only worked for the Affleck-Garner family for a short period.
Ben and Jennifer reportedly hired Christine from a high-end Beverly Hills agency, when they were already half way through their trial separation. Christine is said to have been in the Bahamas with the family when the power couple went public with their split. She was later reportedly let go after Jennifer found out about her husband's close bond with Christine.
