The Many Exes of Hollywood Actor Ben Affleck

After Affleck’s separation from Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus’s relationship began in mid-2017. Shookus, a producer for Saturday Night Live, and Affleck met through mutual industry connections. Their relationship became public in July 2017, which was marked by frequent outings in Los Angeles and New York City.

The couple’s interests in entertainment and mutual understanding of the demands of showbiz contributed to their initial connection. Despite Affleck’s high-profile status, they maintained a relatively low-key presence, enjoying their time together away from the intense media spotlight that had characterized Affleck’s previous relationships.
