E! News Exclusive: The Real Story Behind Ben Affleck’s ''Down to Earth'' Girlfriend Lindsay Shookus
More on E! News at 7p and 11p ET/PT.
Let's not jump to conclusions about Ben Affleck's new leading lady, Lindsay Shookus.
A source tells E! News that the Saturday Night Live producer and the Oscar-winning actor have "been friends for a while but things got romantic [between the two] only recently."
The new duo was seen together for the first time just last night when they stepped out on the town for a late bite to eat.
And despite the rumor
mill going into overdrive about the relatively new romance, a close
friend tells us that Lindsay is "the kindest person" and "down to
earth."
The insider adds that
"Lindsay is the girl next door. She's completely unpretentious. She is
fiercely loyal to her friends. She's a rock to them and her family.
She's the friend that is there during good and hard times and she's the
first person to show up next to your side."
Last night, E! News
exclusively reported that the couple has been spending quality time
together this summer and even traveled to London together last week for a
quick getaway.
We're told Lindsay and
Ben have plenty in common between focusing on their successful careers
in the entertainment industry, remaining on positive terms with their
respective exes and making sure that their children are their first
priority.
The close friend adds that Lindsay remains good friends with her ex and that she even threw him a birthday party this year.
"They grew in
different directions and ultimately made a mutual decision to go their
separate ways. They are truly the definition of great co-parents and
respect each other immensely. Both are so committed to their daughter.
She spends every second she has with her daughter."
The same goes for Ben and his ex Jennifer Garner as the two have maintained a united front for the sake of the three children.
In fact, just this past week for the Fourth of July, the two were seen taking in a local fair with their little ones in Los Angeles.
Ben and Jennifer filed for divorce back in April of this year, with joint filings, two years after announcing that they were ending their 10-year marriage.

E! News Exclusive: Ben Affleck Dating Saturday Night Live Producer Lindsay Shookus 3 Months After Jennifer Garner Divorce
MORE ON E!'S DAILY POP AT 12P ET/PT AND E! NEWS AT 7P AND 11P ET/PT ONLY ON E!
Ben Affleck has a new lady in his life, E! News has learned.
The Oscar-winning actor is dating Lindsay Shookus, a producer at Saturday Night Live.
A source tells
us that the two are still very much "in the early stages" of their
relationship and recently met up while he was in London for work. We're
told that the duo caught a showing of Sam Mendes' play Ferryman last week during their trip abroad.
"It's more than a
summer fling," the insider shared. "They are having fun and care for
each other. It's early and they are taking it slow."
And while the
new couple has done their best to keep things under wraps in the
beginning stages of their romance, the two stepped out on the town in
Los Angeles Thursday night for a quick date night.
Back in April of this year, Jennifer Garner and Ben filed for divorce nearly two years after announcing that they were separating following 10 years of marriage.
According to court documents, the friendly exes filed for joint legal and physical custody of their children.
A source at the
time told E! News that the two "were co-parenting" and that the "most
important thing in all of this are their kids."
Both Ben and Jen have publically praised one another since announcing that they were splitting.
In fact, in an interview with us,
the father of three gushed, "Jen is a superhero mom. She is an amazing
mother and I'm really lucky to have her as a partner to co-parent these
kids with. We try our best, we put them first and that's what we do."
Meanwhile, Jen told NBC's Today show, "We are definitely a modern family. We're doing really well."
Just days ago, the entire modern family was spotted celebrating the Fourth of July near their home in Los Angeles.
Jen participated in a neighborhood 3K race while her kids and ex smiled and cheered from the sidelines.
Shortly thereafter, the group enjoyed celebrating with their neighbors and taking in the local fireworks show.

Led Ben Affleck to Enter Rehab

E! News Exclusive: Here's What Led Ben Affleck to Enter Rehab for Alcohol Addiction
E! News http://www.eonline.com/news/
Ben Affleck is staying focused on his health and sobriety.
Shortly after the Oscar winner announced on social media that he recently completed treatment for alcohol addiction, E! News is learning more about the actor's decision to get professional help.
"He didn't want to cycle through anything he had dealt with in the past," a source shared with E! News exclusively. "He's moving in a healthy, balanced direction."
Our insider also assures us that entering rehab had nothing to do with Jennifer Garner. Instead, the Hollywood star decided to do everything on his own including his public announcement.
"He didn't want to hide," our source explained. "He will continue to work on it. This was a step, but it's a progressive process. He's in a good place."
On Tuesday afternoon, Ben released a statement to his Facebook followers and revealed his personal news that he had completed a stint in rehab.
"I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront," Ben shared with his followers. "I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step."
The actor also thanked Jennifer, with whom he shares three children with and separated from in 2015.
"I'm lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I've done the work I set out to do," he explained. "This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery."
While many details of Ben's stint in treatment will understandably remain private, our source did share one theme during the actor's visit that made an impact.
"He learned a lot while he was there," our insider shared. "Everyone has a story and was open about it. That was meaningful to him."

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's
E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's "Relationship Is Very Fluid," Source Says
Breaking up is hard to do—just ask Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck.
It's been nearly two years since the Daredevil co-stars jointly announced they were separating after 10 years of marriage. And on Friday, multiple reports claimed Garner is finally ready to file for divorce. But is she really? "Their relationship is very fluid and nothing has really changed," a source says of the actors. "They have been working at their relationship for the past few years."
In fact, E! News has exclusively learned that to rebuild their relationship and to improve their communication in general, the actors have taken multiple trips alone together in the last year.
From the beginning, the exes have been committed to co-parenting daughters Violet Affleck, 11, Seraphina Affleck, 8, and son Samuel Affleck, 4—and they've done it so well that their relationship status often confused fans. "There have been times when a reconciliation looked very likely," the source says. "They love each other and that hasn't changed. But it's unclear what the future holds for them." Regardless, they will remain on a "united front" and will "always prioritize the children" above all else. "The spirit of their relationship has not changed."
Ben continued to live on the family's property post-split, and the source says it remains his primary residence. "Regardless of their relationship with each other, they will always protect the kids and spend time together for them," the source adds. "Their goals remain the same."
In fact, the actor sang Jennifer's praises while talking to E! News' Catt Sadler last year. "Jen is a superhero mom. She is an amazing mother and I'm really lucky to have her as a partner to co-parent these kids with," the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice admitted. "We try our best."
Which is all to say their "modern family" (as Jennifer once called it) will remain intact, even if she does files for divorce. "There wasn't a big blowout," the source says. "It's a fluid situation."
