The dissolution of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s marriage was overshadowed by a scandal involving their children’s nanny, Christine Ouzounian. Rumors swirled that Affleck had engaged in an affair with Ouzounian, leading to her dismissal shortly after the couple announced their separation. While Affleck denied any romantic involvement, describing the allegations as “complete garbage,” sources close to Ouzounian claimed she was in love with him and that their relationship had become intimate. So, whatever happened to Ouzounian? Here’s what to know about her surprising new career.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s ex-nanny now has a surprising new career path

Christine Ouzounian didn’t work as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s nanny for long. In 2015, rumors circulated that Affleck had an affair with Ouzounian. A source close to Affleck told People that Affleck and Ouzounian had a “work relationship and a friendship. There has never been a romantic or sexual relationship.” However, multiple other sources confirmed that Ouzounian and Affleck pursued an affair.

The controversy, dubbed “nannygate,” intensified media scrutiny and public interest despite both parties maintaining that the affair was not the cause of their split. Garner later clarified that they had been separated for months before the nanny rumors emerged, emphasizing that Ouzounian’s departure was due to her own actions rather than any infidelity. The scandal, though short-lived, left a lasting impact on the public’s perception of the couple’s personal lives.

Now that a decade has passed since the “nannygate” scandal had a chokehold on the media, DailyMail.com reports Ouzounian has a new career path. She works as a national account manager for Commonwealth Land Title Company.

“Christine Ouzounian, National Account Manager for Commonwealth Land Title Company, works with the National Commercial Services team to provide title and escrow services for commercial brokers, lenders, and developers that are involved in both local and national transactions,” her bio reads on the company’s website. “She brings a background in real estate and many years of success working to meet and exceed her clients’ expectations to our team. In return, she appreciates the expertise and in-depth knowledge of her colleagues and enjoys collaborating with title, escrow, and underwriting professionals to close deals.”

Jennifer Garner previously verified that the rumors had ‘nothing to do with’ her divorce

Fans adored Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner as a married couple and were devastated when they separated. The couple was together for 10 years before going their separate ways in 2015. In 2025, they maintain a close friendship as they co-parent their three kids.

In 2016, Garner opened up about the nanny scandal to Vanity Fair. “Let me just tell you something,” Garner said. “We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes. It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives.”

The actor admitted that she had to have talks with her kids regarding the situation. “I have had to have conversations about the meaning of ‘scandal,’” she continued.

Christine Ouzounian’s friends said the nanny ‘coped’ with the scandal ‘fine’

“Nannygate” rumors couldn’t get Christine Ouzounian down. In 2015, Ouzounian’s friend told People that the nanny was “not naïve” and was “coping with this fine.”

“She’s not pushy,” the source continued. “She is very laid-back. I guess she is somewhat sophisticated for a 28-year-old — she has worked for Neil Patrick Harris. She is smart …. She comes from a decent background.”

A childhood friend previously told People that Ouzounian “was never obsessed with celebrities and only saw working as a nanny for celebs as a good business opportunity to make good money.”

Meanwhile, another source claimed Jennifer Garner was “furious” about the alleged affair. However, now that all is said and done, Garner and Ben Affleck have fully moved on.
