Jennifer Garner: PISSED About Ben Affleck-Lindsay Shookus Affair!
Last week, we learned that Ben Affleck is dating Lindsay Shookus, a Saturday Night Live producer whom he reportedly met duting one of his appearances on the show.
The question of when exactly Ben and Lindsay met and started hooking up is an important one, as both parties were both married until relatively recently.
Ben’s divorce from Jennifer Garner was one of the most high-profile celebrity splits in recent memory, and the tabloid press has been obsessing over what might have caused the split for over two years.
So when word got out that Affleck’s relationship might not be new, and allegations that he cheated on Garner with Shookus surfaced online, old wounds were re-opened, and a story that had cooled suddenly got hot again.
Affleck hasn’t spoken out about the relationship yet or offered any information about when he and Shookus started dating, but sources tell People magazine that Garner has been deeply upset by news of the relationship.
“It’s not an easy situation for Jen,” an insider tells the magazine.
Garner is reportedly most troubled by the fact that she was aware of Ben’s “friendship” with Shookus during their marriage, and she’s now concerned that it may have been something more.
“It would have been easier for Jen if Ben would have just dated someone that Jen wasn’t familiar with,” says the insider.
As for the fact that Ben moved on so quickly after finalizing his divorce, the source says Jen’s not surprised:
“She knew it would happen soon. Ben just can’t be alone.”
Interestingly, a different source close to Garner says the actress is not upset in the slightest by Affleck and Shookus’ relationship … but doesn’t deny the allegations that Ben was unfaithful.
“Of course there are issues given it was a major affair, but Jen is her own woman and is completely fine,” says the insider.
“Nothing is new for her here. She’s in mama-bear mode … putting the kids’ happiness first.”
The second insider maintains that as long as Affleck stays sober (the Oscar winner checked into rehab for alcoholism back in March), Jen doesn’t really care what he does, and will not stand in the way of Ben’s relationship with his kids.
“As long as he stays healthy and sober, she will support him spending as much time with the kids as he wants,” says the source.
We may never know if the allegations about Ben cheating on Jen are true, but it seems unlikely that the story will disappear from the tabloids any time soon.
Lindsay may have worked behind the scenes at SNL, but like it or not, she just entered the spotlight.

Jill Duggar: First Photo of Baby Samuel Shared on Instagram!
Over the weekend, we reported the exciting news that Jill Duggar had welcomed her second child, a boy named Samuel Scott Dillard.
After 40 hours of labor, Samuel entered the world via C-section, tipping the scales at a healthy 9 pounds, 10 ounces.
Often, celebrities are cagey about sharing the first photos of their new offspring, but Jill and husband Derick Dillard apparently wanted fans to share in their joy as soon as possible.
That’s Derick with his and Jill’s newest bundle of joy.
Derick also took to his family’s official website to excitedly announce baby Sam’s arrival:
“We are excited to finally announce the arrival of Samuel Scott Dillard,” he wrote.
He went on to thank fans for their “continued prayers and support.”
Jill’s first delivery, in which she welcomed now 2-year-old Israel Dillard into the world, was also a marathon affair.
We guess it’s no surprise that Jill has talked about adoption in the past!
We kid, of course.
The real reason that Jill and Derick have discussed expanding their family through adoption is that the couple has spent much of the past two years performing missionary work in Central America.
They’ve visited orphanages in some of the region’s most impoverished villages, and say that as parents, the often deplorable conditions broke their hearts.
So one day, Izzy and Sam may be joined by a foreign-born brother or sister.
But for now, we’re guessing Jill and Derick have their hands full.
Jill has not posted to social media since giving birth, but sources say both she and Sam are at home and resting comfortably.
And as you can see from the photo, Derick is clearly overjoyed at becoming a father for the second time.
There’s no word yet on if or when the family plans to return to El Salvador to continue working with families there.
It seems like it would be a lot to transport two young children to a foreign naiton where they have little in terms of support network.
But Jill and Derick wasted no time in jetting back to the Central American nation following the birth of Israel, and we’re guessing once Sam is old enough to travel, they’ll resume their humanitarian efforts.
For now, we hope they’re just enjoying the moment, surrounded by family.
Our sincere congrats go out to Jill and Derick.
