These days, all anyone talks about is Ben Affleck and his apparent soulmate Jennifer Lopez. While it's adorable that the two have reconnected after dating ages ago, there's still Ben's whole marriage and kid thing to consider.

After all, there was a bit of a scandal when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their split, especially because rumors were flying about Ben and the couple's nanny at the time, Christine Ouzounian.

Admittedly, Garner herself later stated that the nanny "had nothing to do with our decision to divorce," and stated that hers was a "real marriage," which suggests that there may not have been an actual scandal at all.

Yet the other side of the reported couple -- the nanny -- apparently played up her relationship to Ben Affleck and spilled the beans to her friends. There's also the matter of that snapshot of her on what is ostensibly a private jet wearing Tom Brady's Super Bowl rings...

Of course, it all fizzled out rather quickly -- if "it" was ever a thing to begin with.

Though Christine Ouzounian seems to have moved on both professionally (she works in real estate) and personally (she's clearly no longer involved with Ben Affleck), some say she wasn't the only person Ben had a scandal with back in the day.

In fact, insiders who claimed to know a former beau of Ben's claim he's long been a bit of a playboy.

Insiders Say Ben Affleck Had A History...

In a Reddit thread where insiders were discussing that famed image of Christine Ouzounian wearing what they allege are Tom Brady's rings, some fans spilled major beans.

One commenter claimed that a girl they went to college with was the BFF to a (non-famous) girl Ben Affleck was dating back in the day. Said non-famous GF allegedly walked into her and Ben's apartment and "caught him" with Gwyneth Paltrow.

What's worse, said the commenter, "Gwyneth laughed in the girl’s face when she started crying." Of course, that's all rumors, and very old ones at that. But commenters seemed to agree that with so many rumors about Ben Affleck stepping out on his partners, odds are, at least some of the stories are true.

And the next one is even juicier, especially because Ben is now back with his earlier love, Jennifer Lopez.

Fans Say Ben Stepped Out On J Lo Back In The Day

It may seem unbelievable now that the two are back together, but some say J Lo and Ben's history is full of scandals, too. And fans didn't have to go far to find sources that corroborated their stories of Ben stepping out on Jennifer Lopez.

A news story from 2003 confirmed that a stripper alleged that Ben had been intimate with her at a bar and that those events were what led to Ben and Jen breaking up. At the time, Ben's people threatened to sue and whatnot, but of course, the now-reattached couple broke off their engagement in January of 2004.

The timelines also look suspicious from a more modern angle; Ben Affleck broke up with Jennifer Lopez in January of 2004, but he began dating Jennifer Garner in "mid-2004" and they got married in mid-2005.

However, fans pointed out, Ben and Jennifer Garner originally met on the set of 'Pearl Harbor' in 2001. Fans also suggest that circa 2003, while promoting another film they were both in ('Daredevil'), Garner was "looking at [Ben] with heart eyes the whole time" during an interview.

There's also the fact that Jennifer was, at the time, married to her ex-husband Scott Foley (they were divorced in 2004).

Another commenter contributed the observation that Garner is "America's church bake sale PTA mom now but her messy personal life used to be in the tabloids a lot."

Of course, others say that Ben only settled down with Jennifer Garner because she was the "good on paper pick," something that many fans are repeating now that Ben is back with Jennifer Lopez.

And yet, some fans still think that Jennifer and Ben are a PR stunt, while others completely disagree. Fans (and critics) continue to be split on the subject, and the only people who really know what's going on are Bennifer themselves...

It's a lot like Ben's reported dalliance with Christine Ouzounian; no one ever really got to the bottom of the drama, though Ben's team was always happy to toss around threats of suing tabloids for slander.

For Ouzounian's part, journalists struggled to reach her for comment, and she never seemed to publicly comment about Ben, nor does it seem like she will, ever.

So fans have to continue to wonder whether anything really happened between them and whether that indicates Ben had some sort of issue with personal relationships that won't change even now that he's back with his former fiancee...
