Los Angeles, Aug 6 (IANS): Actor Ben Affleck's former nanny Christine Ouzounian has reportedly been hiding away at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air following her alleged affair with the actor.

Ouzounian was first spotted entering the hotel on July 29, the day rumours of her relationship with Affleck emerged.

She was photographed enjoying her time at the hotel with room rates starting around $1,000 to $1,500 over the weekend. The nanny was seen wearing a bikini while enjoying getting sun-tanned and sipping on drinks at the poolside bar. In some photographs, she appeared focused on her mobile phone, checking for text messages, reports aceshowbiz.com.

“Christine is living the high life holed up in a swanky suite and Ben is paying for all of it - even for her girlfriends, who have been staying with her. Ben has given her enough money to cover all her bills and expenses, plus spending money, for at least the next three months. She doesn't have to worry about a thing,” said a source.

“Ben's leading her on so that she stays quiet. He knows he needs to keep her happy or the whole thing could turn ugly really fast. She doesn't feel burned by Ben - not yet, anyway,” the source added.
