Ben Affleck was photographed out on the town Thursday night in Los Angeles with the woman rumored to be his new girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus. Here are the things we know about Shookus: Shookus is a 37-year-old producer at SNL, Shookus is an Emmy winner, Shookus is one of the “most powerful women in music,” Shookus has—like Affleck—been married before, and “Shookus” has just been added to my Chrome dictionary because I have a feeling I’ll be using the name a lot in the near future.
Here’s what a source told E! about Affleck and Shookus:
“It’s more than a summer fling. They are having fun and care for each other. It’s early and they are taking it slow.”
