Maybe he's the real father of January Jones's kid. I have no basis to say this except I'm sure that kid is one of many who have "mystery" fathers in Hollywood.

I think a child outside of his marriage would have finally been enough to push Jen for the divorce.

Damn, I just want him to fail in everything. Bitter, table of one!

We will still think he was a tool. I don't know if he can win in the court of public opinion on this breakup... I think most people will assume HE did something to fuck it up, and not her.

I seriously doubt he has a child outside the ones we know about. Even the most serial cheater knows to use a condom. Ben Affleck doesn't seem to be Hugh Grant or Jude Law. He's obsessed with his own image. I think this is more of Chris Rock situation. Some people want the stability and structure of a proper marriage and family to a respectable, intelligent, pretty woman, ambitious in her own way, and do everything you're supposed to both personally and professionally. But they also want to live like a rich, id-fueled fratboy. Like Don Draper. Why do you think that character resonated so much? Ben Affleck, despite his documented issues, doesn't seem stupid. He was smart enough to keep his cheating out of the press, even in the age of smartphones and TMZ. Tons of vague rumour, but no one ever had anything real on him. He'd know enough not to make a love child a possibility. We will still think he was a tool. I don't know if he can win in the court of public opinion on this breakup... I think most people will assume HE did something to fuck it up, and not her. Sure, but does it matter? Like I said, the default gossip mode is to hate women, or idealize them for a short while before bringing them down hard. Even if people assume the breakdown of the marriage was all his fault, it won't affect his career, critically or commercially.

The most persistent rumours I've seen are about Olga Kurylenko. Lainey has as good as named her as the other woman. They worked together in 2010/11, then there were pretty strong rumours of a divorce in 2011, before Samuel was conceived. The internet tells me that Olga was in a relationship with Danny Hudson between 2012 and some point in 2014. I wouldn't be surprised if things have intensified again since then.
I think Ben will continue to be "devastated" about the divorce for a month or two, and then we'll hear reports about how he's turned to his former co-star for support and has fallen for her. To be honest, I'd much rather that than him drowning in hookers and drugs for the next few months.

He's obsessed with his own image. Oh, I think he would definitely risk it by not using a condom. It's the thrill, the adrenaline rush of the forbidden. He's a gambler. Bareback is right up his alley.

I agree. I think men will bareback any chance they get. They so often either- don't think about pregnancy/stds, or- assume the woman has/will take care of it. Men who cheat are clearly already risk takers.
The kids are getting older. Maybe it wasn't brought on by Ben/Jen... what if the kids were starting to notice Ben's behavior? I could imagine that being enough to push Jen to end things. If Violet started to ask questions about her father's behavior/absence that might have made Jen go: Ok, what example am I setting for these kids?

As douchey and selfish as Affleck is in regards to being a partner and parent, I know someone that interviews a lot of celebrities on the radio in Washington DC and they said Affleck could not have been kinder or more polite in person. So I don't despise him as I believe he isn't a mean spirited person, but he does appear to be a completely narcissistic, immature ego maniac who wants to do what he wants to do whenever he wants to do it. Now Ashton Kutcher, this source said he was a complete a*hole (a very mean person).
