Three months after Ben Affleck filed for divorce from Jennifer Garner, he may have found love again, and the woman involved is Lindsay Shookus, a producer for “Saturday Night Live.”
E! News is reporting that the 45-year-old Affleck met up with Shookus, 37, in London recently, where they enjoyed a number of dates, including going to see Sam Mendes’ play “Ferryman” together.
While a source told E! that they are in the early stages of a relationship, the source insisted: “It’s more than a summer fling.”
The source added: “They are having fun and care for each other. It’s early and they are taking it slow.”
Both Affleck and Shookus have yet to confirm their relationship but E! said they were also spotted in Los Angeles Thursday night, going out for a quick date night.
Affleck and Garner, also 45, filed for divorce in April after splitting in 2015 following 11 years of marriage.
The pair look like they are continuing to pursue a model of the amicable divorce — also called “conscious uncoupling” — which involves estranged spouses staying on good terms for the sake of the children. They have three children, Violet, 11, Seraphina, eight, and Samuel, five.
The A-listers were spotted with their kids enjoying July 4 festivities in Pacific Palisades and they reportedly went on a family vacation in the Bahamas in June.
As for Shookus, she began working on “SNL” in 2002 as an assistant to a producer but quickly climbed the ranks. the Huffington Post reported.
She was named one of Billboard’s most powerful executives in music in both 2015 and 2016 for booking artists like Chance the Rapper and A Tribe Called Quest on the late-night sketch comedy show for which she won an Emmy.
Shookus was previously married to Kevin Miller, a former associate producer on “30 Rock,” according to a 2010 wedding announcement in the New York Times.
