Ben Affleck’s friend has come forward to quash rumours about Ben Affleck and his sexy ex-nanny’s, Christine Ouzounian, affair. It was when they travelled together to Las Vegas earlier in June, with the actor’s friend, Tom Brady, that the rumours about their affair began.

The Post reported that a friend of the actor said that nothing fishy happened when Christine travelled with Ben to Vegas from Bahamas. The two were together because of a charity-related event. “Christine flew with Ben from the Bahamas to Vegas because she was helping him with his poker tournament for his charity,” the Eastern Congo Initiative, the close friend said to The Post.

It was on June 27 that the paper also exclusively published a picture of the ex-nanny donning Brady’s four Super Bowl rings. “There were many other people on the plane, including other assistants and staff working for Ben who were helping with the event, and many of these also tried on Tom’s Super Bowl rings and took photos,” the friend said. “Ben and Tom Brady are good friends, and he is grateful that Tom agreed to attend his charity event.”

The friend added that Christine was not hiding anything, and she was in Vegas to help organise the tournament, guiding the clients and guests who attended it. After the tournament, Ben went back to Bahamas to be with his family, while Christine went home to LA.

Rumours about Ben having an affair with Christine and other women started circulating after he and Jennifer Garner released a statement to announce they are getting divorced. In the statement, the two said that they would move forward with no bad feelings for each other, and they were also committed to co-parenting their children.
