In July 2015, as reported by Insider, Affleck faced allegations of infidelity after reportedly leaving Garner amid a family vacation and traveling to Las Vegas with their nanny, Christine Ouzounian. Although Affleck quickly shot down the claims of a romance with Ouzounian, via his rep, labeling an Us Weekly report as "shameful," he and Garner confirmed plans for divorce the following month.
"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding," they said in a joint statement to People (via The Wrap).
While Affleck and Garner were rumored to be working through their issues in early 2017, they ultimately filed for divorce in April 2017, and, months later, Affleck was rumored to have moved on from their marriage with "Saturday Night Live" producer Lindsay Shookus, who he dated for about a year.
In October 2018, Affleck's divorce from Garner was finalized, and two years later, in February 2020, Affleck told the The New York Times his divorce was his "biggest regret."
