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.
