Ben Affleck's rep calls report that actor is dating nanny "complete garbage"

Ben Affleck's rep is slamming a story that claims the actor has been seeing 28-year-old Christine Ouzounian.

A new report in Us Weekly alleges that the 42-year-old Oscar winner is involved with a woman he and his estranged wife Jennifer Garner, 43, hired to look after their three children, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.

The story goes on to allege that Ouzounian - who is reportedly an employee of an upscale Beverly Hills nanny agency -- was let go after Garner learned of Ouzounian's "flirty" relationship with her husband.

"The story is complete garbage and full of lies," Affleck's rep told ET, adding that "all allegations of a romantic relationship are baseless and untrue."

"You shouldn't be able to hide behind 'blind sources' and attempt to destroy families going through a difficult time," his rep further stated. "It's like story time in kindergarten. It's shameful. We are considering legal options."

Garner and Affleck have been dodging rumors of infidelity ever since they announced their plans to divorce after 10 years of marriage this past month. That being said, the couple's relationship since their split does appear amicable.

ET obtained photos of the two in Atlanta this weekend, both wearing their wedding rings while they spent time with their children.

"Ben is not filming anything in Atlanta right now," a family source told ET. "He is only there to be with his family."
