These are photos of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner out yesterday in Brentwood with their kids, where they were seen leaving a toy store. From far away, in the thumbnails where he’s wearing a hat, Affleck is giving me Mickey Rourke vibes. Maybe it’s the beanie, which is just bizarre. I did a google image search for “Ben Affleck Beanie” and he has worn one before, mostly the knit cap kind, but never so far back on his head like that. This is not a good look for him.
Spoilers for Miracles from Heaven follow, which are also in the trailer
Jennifer Garner is promoting her God-awful looking movie, Miracles from Heaven, based on the book by Christy Wilson Beam, which details how how her daughter suffered from and was eventually cured of a terminal digestive disorder after falling 30 feet. It’s out next March. I put a spoiler warning above, but all of those plot points are in the trailer, which came out a few days ago. It looks like a Hallmark movie of the week it’s so schmaltzy.
The movie will be popular with devout Christians, and Garner knows this. In a short interview with People Magazine she explained why she chose the role after reading the book. “There was something about this family, this mother and daughter and this telling of the story that I felt I just had to be a part of.” She said the movie is about “the power of love and hope and family and prayer.” This lady is nothing but obvious in how she’s positioning herself. It’s telling that she only recently got papped going to church on Sunday, and that’s all I’ll say.
Affleck is no longer the only recent celebrity known to have cheated with the nanny of course. We’ve seen Gavin Rossdale’s three year affair with his children’s caregiver on the cover of US Magazine. That’s got to be a relief to Affleck, whose brief dalliance with the nanny looks tame in comparison. It’s doubtful Rossdale’s nanny is as much of a fame seeker as Christine Ouzounian (although she seems like more of a stalker given the way she SWF’ed Gwen). Ouzounian was likely paid a nice settlement to stop staging paparazzi pics and giving details to the tabloids, but she couldn’t resist telling Entertainment Tonight that she’s back with her fiance, a fisherman who lives in the Bahamas. ET has a picture of the two with Ouzounian wearing a ring on her left ring finger too. I would assume that they’re living on Affleck’s money for a while. When it runs out soon, because we know that Ouzounian has a taste for the good life, they’ll split up and she’ll either try to attach herself to another wealthy man and/or try to get on a reality show, as we heard she was planning.

Ahahhaha!! Fisherman, what are you thinking!?!
Hey at least we know the wedding is paid for…and likely a nice down payment on a house. Affleck is such an idiot. 😉
As an aside I finally got around a few weeks ago to watching the new Daredevil on Netflix. It is glorious, my new favorite Marvel thing, and I now have a Charlie Cox problem. It was also a huge reminder of how awful Affleck and Garner were in the original movie! I mean…terrible!
Isn’t the Netflix Daredevil AWESOME?
Vincent D’Onofrio is everything.
So true. D’Onofrio is the best villain Marvel has had. Not the most fun (that’s Loki, their only other truly great villain) but the most complex and haunting.
I hated the Affleck version so much when it came out that this one totally blindsided me in its brilliance. Hopefully when Electra shows up they can save her from the abominable Garner version. I guess we will see how Batfleck turns out. 😐
Vincent has been my everything since The Velocity of Gary. Incredible actor.
Thinking alike I thought-with a freshly cut check to disappear no doubt. Aren’t the Bahamas one of the places rich people go to hide money in off shore accounts? Or no questions asked deposits?
Netflix Daredevil is great. I’m so so on most Marvel things, but I think that show was excellent. I’m looking forward to the Jessica Jones? one they’re doing too.
The series will get a season 2 coming out next year as well 🙂
Ben is just all kinds of wrong. From the stocking cap to the multi-colored wingtips.
And the current hairdo. It looks like a wig.
not to mention his weird sandblasted skin, I don’t know what he had done to his face but it looks like a wax figure head.
Yeah, what’s up with all that? He does not look good, or healthy. Is he wearing pancake make-up? His skin looks…… unnatural.
That doesn’t even look like him. I also always forget they have a son. These two are beyond boring.
Did Crissy O and her fisherman fiancé plan this entire fiasco from the start? Probably not, granted, but what a story that would be: a sort of reverse indecent proposal, with Crissy O coming out on top and living happily ever after thanks to Ben’s (and perhaps Brady’s?) multi million payoff, riding off into the Bahaman sunset with her (formerly) poor fisherman hubby.
@LadyJane, who wrote: “Did Crissy O and her fisherman fiancé plan this entire fiasco from the start?”
LOL! Yep, you guessed it … the Nanny planned the whole thing. Ben Affleck was just a sweet, naive, unsuspecting, innocent pawn who would never EVER do anything like that on his own without devious seduction. She led him astray. Preyed upon his good nature and pious ‘domestic’ devotion. 🙂
Exactly! Or rather, a canny young woman spotted and then coldly exploited a multi-millionaire’s weaknesses for her own benefit (and the benefit of fisherman bf). It wouldn’t be the first time such a thing happened, and wouldn’t be the last. It is almost plausible isn’t it?
Yes because as we all know no man on earth is ever responsible for monortoring his own damn penis.
Without taking any accountability from Affleck, it is still possible the nanny planned/hoped this whole thing. There can be two douches in this fraucas.
On an aside, I’m still baffled by the last article re Assfleck. First his reps said he adamantly denies ever having sex with this woman and is/was hurt than Jennifer didn’t beleive him. He does take responsibility for circumstances that allowed the rumor to begin and spread. But then if a paragraph further down, Affleck is said to have recently told nanny that they are over – He’s trying to work things out with Jennifer. Wait! What the…..what’s over?! I thought he didn’t do the deed so what is it about them that’s over? Very confusing. I guess the lies pile up and they don’t remember what they’ve already said.
My first thought too. I’m always suspicious of that when the ex takes back the other one right away after a celeb scandal, where money most certainly exchanged hands.
Yep, very suspect.
He was portrayed as heartbroken over their broken engagement. Yet he takes her back within four months.
Yeah, sounds fishy.
Wonder if she shipped her drop-top used car to the islands?
Some men are horribly insecure too and are super hung up on their partners just as some women can be. I had a guy friend come over upset that his ex was getting married 6 YEARS after they broke up!
Somewhere Amber Rose is laughing and saying: “i rest my point…great execution Ozzie!”
That would be a good movie. Much better than this Miracles thing sounds like.
haha yes!
Fisherman? Hard life. Won’t last. Till then, let’s stop giving this nanny airtime and blog space.
+1!
I have a few friends who make bank- not Ben Affleck level of bank, but nonetheless, bank, as fishermen. Granted, they are fishing boat captains, and take loads of people out in places like the Keys and the Gulf to sport fish. They pull down pretty good six figure salaries a year. I am not sure this guy is in the same league, but he probably does alright. He is dumb for getting back with this twit, though.
Hope this is the last we hear of her.
I guess she had to sell the Lexus. Too bad (no one said).
If it’s warm enough for his girls to wear shorts and tie their cardigans around their waists, why does he need that beanie?
Thank you! He seems to always dress like the temp is 20 degrees cooler than everyone else around him. I’ve seen pics of him in a winter puffer coat and his family has on tank tops. Maybe he’s always cold like a little old lady.
I’ve never seen warm weather get in the way of someone determined to make a fashion statement with a beanie. 🙂
He’s from Boston. “Warm” to Angelenos is still nippy if not downright cold and maddeningly frosty to east coasters. It’s not something their bodies ever overcome.
What are you talking about? I’m from Boston and live in Texas. We are the family wearing shorts when everyone else is wearing jackets and hats. Los Angeles is NOWHERE near as cold as Boston on its coldest day.
My husband and I are from New York and live in Florida and we’re always the coldest people here. I never had an explanation for it.
Even so, he’s wearing so many layers compared to Jen & kids.
Also, I thought it was the opposite…those of us from chillier climates like any weather that’s even slightly warm & will often wear shorts/tshirts in warm places when the locals are wearing sweaters.
That’s sounds opposite. When you’re from a cold climate, cold weather doesn’t bother you as much. We lived in Minnesota and went to Louisiana last Thanksgiving. We had on short sleeves and flip flops in 60 degree weather and Louisianan’s had winter coats and hats on!
I think its usually the opposite, but my guess is he’s wearing a lot of stuff to hide some weight gain.
What? It’s exactly the opposite. When you’re from a cold climate, YOU’RE the one in a tank top when everyone is southern California is shivering in their ski jackets. Been there, done that. Laughed at the poor little frozen natives when it was 55* outside.
I’m just speaking from the joint experience of the east coasters I know who moved to LA. It seems incongruous and doesn’t make sense. And that’s why he’s wearing winter-wear while others are acting like they’re at the beach. It’s something about the way the air hits you in LA if you’re from a colder state but LIVING in (not visiting) LA.
@ pinky, that makes sense. To me, the cold in FloridaFlorida is damper and chills me moremore than the less humid cold of Missouri. July and august are hard months for me, too, the humidity is suffocating. Its perfect, how you described it
This is exactly what I came in to post…BA looks like he’s prepping for a fall/winter hike, while his girls are in shorts and t-shirts.
Heat, I was thinking the same thing.
people who are raised in colder climates get what is called “brown fat” that protects them from being chilly. people who have grown up in SoCal (like myself) don’t have any brown fat to protect us. that why we bring winter coats when the temp drops below 70 haha.
Haha!! I have never heard of this. Can one “grow” this “brown fat” over time? LOL .. I am from south Louisiana but have lived in Chicago over a year and I swear my tolerance has changed drastically. I used to be “cold” in 60 degrees and now that’s warm to me and I can handle it so much better….now that I know what 20 below feels like. Nothing like a little blizzard to give one some perspective haha
Probably to hold down and/or distract from that thing on his head. It looks like a dead animal. For christ’s sake, man, you’re a millionaire many times over. Get a better rug.
We’re ignoring the important parts of this story…how is she going to get her drop top Lexi to the Bahamas?!?!
LOL The true love of nanny’s life, the drop top Lexi.
I didn’t see your post and asked the same upthread. The ‘new’ drop top was sort of a third party in this short-lived drama.
BAHAHA she had to give it back to Enterprise a few days later.
Ben, darling, the beanie, no, just…no!
Jen and Ben both look pissed off, pale, defeated, and lumpy.
I am confused by their miserable pap – walks. How is this behavior benefiting their children?
Please stop the selfish charade.
In previous pictures of Ben with the kids they are clinging to him and I don’t see that in these pictures. Jennifer Garner is the one that the kids are clinging on. The picture of him with Violet is cute – it is almost like they are making silly faces at each other. I think they will be divorcing soon. The nanny is out of the picture, Ben is returning to being a “workaholic”, Jennifer supposedly wants to move on and start dating. All the mess is being cleaned up – ready for the premier of Batman.
“Jennifer supposedly wants to move on and start dating.” Who said this? When? She is trying so hard to be a martyr for all married women through all of this. Barf
That ET photo is from May 2015 with a ring on her finger, so I don’t know if they are back engaged again. but she’s obviously back down there licking her wounds because she didn’t become the “it” thing and got paid off and had to go lie low. He has to be a fool to be with someone so conniving.
Yes, the ET article clearly states pictured in May 2015.
I know this is just a gossip site but it generally has interesting commentary, and when obvious details are mis-stated it’s either sloppy or intentionally misleading, both of which make the commentary pointless. (incorrect info on Rogen article too)
Lmao he must be so happy about Gavin Rossdale’s nannygate.
Also he looks thin again. How?
Coke and booze bloat went down.
ding,ding,ding
He appears to also be wearing about 3 pairs of Spanx. That gut is barely contained. He looks like he’s trying really hard not to exhale.
Ben’s daughter can’t even with that hat.
He’s always dressed like its freezing in warm or mild weather, I wonder if he has some type of arthritis, since my dad and uncle got it they are constantly cold and always need to be wrapped up with the heating on full blast. Illness might explain what’s happened to his previously attractive face. Wtf’s happened to his face???!!!!
The nanny definitely set him up as we saw with her photoshoot that never had any touching or pictures of her going into the house which presumes she never got in!!! Wonder if the fiancé was in on the money spinner all this time? That or he has serious issues!!!
I think the layers are to hide the moobs and need for girdling. Even though he’s lost some weight, he probably still has some moob paranoia. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway.
I don’t think Ouzounian had too many other options. Once she sold her story, she pretty much destroyed her career opportunities. I would also say her chances of finding a sugar daddy are limited as well since she has proven she is not discreet.
yeah, but the funny thing is that there is a guy out there in Hollywood who would be more than happy to have her on his arm. BARF!
Damn! Garner’s really got game!
Here I thought the church-going had to do with PR after the split, but it is really all about that horrendously ridiculous movie, What a PR whore.
So is Gwen! She goes to a Catholic Church in Santa Monica . Both have known to attend church for years.
First BvS is just around the corner so WB is cleaning up the messes. First to go is the nanny. They make sure people are aware she is no longer with Ben but now back in the Bahamas.
Second, Ben’s bloated appearance is disappearing so he can look decent when he does the promo tour all over the world. I can still see a pouch those. Maybe that is next to go.
Both have movies out in March so they will hit the press tour so they are now working hard to look amicable. Garner has another one in April, with Kevin Spacey.
Both will have fake tans by then coz now they look like pasty white people from Twilight movies.
that_hat. no.
This proves two things, beanies are to only be worn on cute boys and Ben you’re still all kinds of gross. He’s somehow lost credibility and respect. You paid her off to go away once the hotel bill came, makes you still a slime.
Ben & Jen just need to admit they never split up. The ‘nanny’ was paid to be a smoke screen. What’evs.
Sure, they are. They will announce the divorce when all of their property holdings and money and future earnings for Ben regarding Batman money is worked out. They’ve got the house up for sale. I don’t think they want a final divorce until after the holidays for the children’s sake. That way it’s given them a good six months to get used to their parents’ separation and the new normal.
Poor Christine. She had such delusions of grandeur. She thought she was fascinating to the public and would be picked up for the Bachelorette or her own reality show. Alas, the cycle of gossip news moved on, and no one cared about her.
I guess this “girl on fire” with her “drop top Lexi” didn’t receive the pouring in of offers she expected. Back to her fiance, who doesn’t seem to mind that he’s with a girl who threw him over for a chance with the famous, rich, married boss, and who also was conniving enough to set up pap shots for money. He’s a glutton for punishment, isn’t he? The next opportunity that roles around with a prospective sugar daddy and she’s gone girl gone.
“rolls” around.
I do wonder if she’s reuniting with fisherman to try and sell another angle for a reality show. Wronged nanny returns to her “true love” in an island paradise…
Not that it’s a solid storyline, either, but she obviously didn’t get any bites with being two-week hotel resident / drop-top ex-nanny.
Thirsty fame ho.
Ben’s losing his looks. He looks terrible.
There is just something very awkward about these photos. In prior scenes, they looked a bit more relaxed. They all seem a bit uptight here – no smile on anyone in any picture. That little boy is the most adorable. In other photo you can see he is wearing white socks with hearts embroidered with hanging hearts – probably belonged to a sister. So cute and personable.
Sounds like an awesome plot for a movie. I can’t wait to see the ending.
Am I the only one who never believed this story was legit? I dunno…sometimes you get a hunch that the body language is off or something doesn’t seem quite right. But then why would they stage something like this? It doesn’t add up.
Still something seems fishy but maybe it’s just the new boyfriend – boom tish
