Three trimesters ago, tabloids and magazines continuously published reports that claimed Jennifer Garner and Lindsay Shookus are both pregnant with Ben Affleck's babies. And obviously, a lot of people were shocked when these reports hit the news.
As it happened, Star magazine published these stories almost a year ago. And based on these claims, Ben Affleck was seen having a sleepover at Jennifer Garner's place which resulted in her pregnancy. The magazine thoroughly explained the timeline of her alleged pregnancy which fits the overall equation that dates back to the said "sleepover." And this has allowed for the claims to be a believable report.
This was quite surprising already considering that the former couple is already on the process of divorcing during that time. And the fact that Ben Affleck is already with Saturday Night Live producer, Lindsay Shookus, these claims ranked to the top stories of many tabloids. But what makes these reports more cringy and bothersome was that not only Jennifer Garner is pregnant, but Lindsay Shookus is also believed to carry Ben Affleck's baby at the same time.
These headlines stayed for quite a while. But thanks to Gossip Cop, they were able to learn the truth behind these conundra. According to the publication, none of these things ever happened. The reports were just carefully written which made them appeared to be factual. Not to mention, the images published along with these reports were taken at a bad angle.
But beyond the objective reasoning, Gossip Cop explained that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner remained as good friends during and after the divorce processes. Also, People confirmed that the Batman actor was very committed to his current relationship at that time with Lindsay Shookus. This newfound evidence at that time proved that these pregnancy reports are nothing but false claims.
And three trimesters after, none of these claimed pregnancies are fully consummated which ultimately proves that the reports made almost a year ago are just plain bogus and fictional stories. With these things at hand, Gossip Cop remained watchful to the magazine's previous claims about Jennifer Garner, Lindsay Shookus, and Ben Affleck.
Not to mention, they were able to speak to one of Ben Affleck's spokespersons too. This insider referred to the magazine's reports as "crazy stories" and that no one should believe them. And finally, they are now putting an end to all of these reports.
The publication consequently called out the magazine for these stories. They asked for their opinions or comments about the matter, but Star has remained silent amid the uproar. Moreover, no answers were given when Gossip Cop asked why they did not acknowledge these things.
