These actors are two of the most talented celebrities who have enjoyed stellar careers in the movie industry. They have featured together in various productions. However, their relationship goes beyond sharing a movie set.

The Hollywood icons were once married! Their marriage lasted ten years and yielded three children. While married, the former couple were head over heels in love.

During interviews, they often serenaded one another with kind words and expected to stay married forever. However, a cheating scandal put a rift between the duo, and they called it quits. Here are facts about the ex-couples union and their children.

The pair first met on the set of the 2000 film "Pearl Harbor" but did not become a couple until a few years later due to being in different relationships. The actress was married to Scott Foley, whereas her future husband was engaged to a musician he later rekindled a relationship with.

In 2003, the actress filed for divorce from Foley, citing irreconcilable differences. A year later, the "Gone Girl" actor called off his engagement and, months later, pursued a relationship with Foley's ex. The couple clarified that they were in love and appeared in public several times.

She also noted that although he was complicated, he was the most charismatic, generous, and brilliant person in the room. The former lovebirds would visit each other on set and publicly show affection for years.

In 2011, the star told a publication that she and the actor knew their achievements would be impossible without mutual assistance. Similarly, the father of three would praise his ex-wife in several interviews and stages, crediting her as his strength, along with their children, until something changed their lives for good.

The mother of three claimed that they had already been separated months before the nanny issue. However, many believed that the actor's alleged affair was the cause of the divorce. The former couple's nanny went on to find fame.

After the infidelity rumors, the former couple's nanny quickly became infamous for being caught in a scandal with high-profile celebrities. While some people in her situation would step back from all the cameras, she did quite the opposite!

Once the story began to die, she reportedly started publishing new photos and exposed herself to the media. According to a source, the former couple's nanny hoped to end up with the actor and appeared unbothered about everything. She dined at a well-known restaurant, usually flocked by paparazzi, and sat at a table outside with an eyewitness saying:

"She was laughing very loudly and kept flicking her hair while she gossiped with her friends..."

The source also noted how the former nanny "would stop talking so she could check her reflection in the outside window." She even took the time to take selfies! The eyewitness further stated:

"In between the picture-taking and laughing, she would toast her wine glass."

After being the center of a scandal, finding a job as a nanny for Christine Ouzuonian proved difficult for her. Sadly, the famous couple were not the only ones who suffered from the cheating rumors. While the famous couple's marriage may have ended due to the cheating scandal, the actress revealed that the scandal affected their children's lives.

She explained that their children had to deal with the sudden disappearance of their nanny, which was not a great experience. Foley's ex said she had to have conversations with their children about the meaning of "scandal."

The star temporarily moved into her oldest child's room to cope with the mental stress, and the pair were happy to have each other. On the other hand, her children's father sought to become a better man as he struggled with alcohol abuse, and he went for treatments, often checking into rehabilitation centers.

The actor's battle with liquor had its ups and downs, including a relapse caught on camera. However, he was determined to overcome his addiction and become a better father to his children.

It is quite commendable to see that Affleck did not allow his past mistakes to affect his love life, friendships, and relationships with his children, Violet, Samuel, and Seraphina. Luckily, Lopez has made a great effort to be a good stepmother to her husband's children.

The songstress was also on hand in June 2022, when Affleck took his son, Samuel, then 10, to a luxury car rental dealership in Beverly Hills. The actor allowed his son to get into the driver's seat of a Lamborghini before the boy accidentally reversed the car into a parked BMW.

During May 2023's "Live With Kelly and Mark" interview, Affleck's wife confessed that she almost had five teenagers in her household! The star hilariously admits that having teenagers is "tough" and "challenging," with the children going through a stage where they don't want you in their rooms!

At the beginning of 2023, Lopez revealed that hers and Affleck's children had moved in together. She said the transition had been emotional, with the icing being that all her dreams had come true, with the year being fantastic since her children were born.
