They were sleeping together, sending each other cute texts and meeting up whenever they could.”
While an insider close to Affleck counters that the Live By Night actor and Shookus only recently started dating, the first source maintains that the relationship has bee ongoing, and that Miller and Garner were shocked to learn of their infidelity.
“They were devastated when they found out about the affair,” the first source said.
The source close to Affleck adds that the Wakefield actress has come to terms with their romance.
