Ben Affleck has been in hot water in the past weeks. After his and Jennifer Garner's announcement that they are getting a divorce after 10 years of marriage, the "Batman vs Superman" star was linked to the nanny of their children Christine Ouzounian. The actor's rep denied the rumors and even mentioned that they are considering legal actions about the alleged romance linking him to Ouzounian. However, their statement did not stop the speculations as the issue continues to make headlines.
Despite the different rumors involving Affleck, the "Gone Girl" star continued to attend his commitments. Last Monday, at an event for his HBO series, "Project Greenlight," by Adaptive Studios, the actor arrived with "The Martian" star Matt Damon at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, Calif., according to People.
Affleck and Damon are executive producers on "Project Greenlight." The show follows the journey of individuals who want to be filmmakers. "Project Greenlight" season 4 will premiere on Sept. 13, PageSixhas learned.
Affleck donned a blue suit without a tie. He displayed his facial hair and was noticeably still wearing his wedding ring. He did not bother to stop to answer questions; however, he managed to sign his autograph on a "Daredevil" poster. According to the report, an onlooker told People that Affleck shared a laugh with his fan and said, "You guys are crazy."
If "The Accountant" actor was avoiding questions on the red carpet, his longtime friend, Damon, did not hesitate to speak about him. When asked how Affleck was doing, the "Bourne 5" star said, "He's great, he's great. He's got a big smile on his face."
According to PageSix, before the "Interstellar" star head to the event, he also offered a wish of happiness to his friend, Affleck, who will be celebrating his birthday on Friday, August 15.
"I wish him well you know, but he's 43," Damon joked. "It's not 40. It's not 45. It's like 43. You know it's a forgettable birthday. I don't even remember my 43rd birthday."
While Affleck seems to be avoiding the reporters, Ouzounian, the nanny linked to him is enjoying the attention of the media. The blonde beauty has been seen driving around Beverly Hills in a brand new white Lexus IS Convertible with a starting tag price of $43,000, according to Us Weekly. She is seen wearing a navy blazer with a fitted white shirt, blue skinny jeans and a pair of white Chucks. Her hair has been freshly blown out. See photo here.
In an earlier report from Parent Herald, Jen fired Ouzounian after she found out that her husband and their nanny was getting intimate during their stay in the Bahamas.
