Christine Ouzounian is said to be enjoying the spotlight that comes with her being the centre of the Ben Affleck cheating speculations. It’s believed the 28-year old is using the media’s attention to land a shot at a reality TV deal.

A source tells News.com.au that there’s a reason why the ex-nanny to Jennifer and Ben’s three children have undergone a makeover amidst the media frenzy surrounding her. Paparazzi photos have captured Christine looking all dolled up with complete hair and makeup. She has reportedly also been parading her brand new white Lexus and hanging out with friends in open areas in Santa Monica where the cameras can easily spot her. The source says Ouzounian is doing all these for her career.

“The word in LA is that Christine is looking for an agent and wants a TV deal, on something like The Bachelorette or Dancing With the Stars. She knows she most likely can’t go back to nannying — who in LA would hire her now to take care of their kids? So she’s going to use the spotlight to build a showbiz career,” the source said.

The source further claims that Christine may go on a tell-all show to talk about the Hollywood actor. However, she would still be discouraged to talk about Ben’s private life and his family due to a non-disclosure agreement she had supposedly signed before she started caring for Ben and Jennifer’s children.

Christine has reportedly also been living a lavish lifestyle amidst the cheating speculations. Ben was rumoured to have been supporting his ex-nanny despite his representative denying that there is nothing romantic in their relationship.

Her top-down Lexus was reportedly bought after she spent a lot of money on a one-week stay at the Hotel Bel-Air. Perez Hilton says the 28-year old also went on a private trip to Las Vegas with Affleck and NFL star Tom Brady. She had shared her photo on her Instagram showing her sitting inside the plane wearing four of the quarterback’s Super Bowl rings.

However, sources close to Ben are denying that he has been keeping in contact with Christine and that he has been funding her lavish lifestyle. Perez Hilton says the trip to Las Vegas was also not intimate as other people were on board who also tried on Brady’s rings.
