The public is still trying to make sense of why Ben Affleck filed for divorce from his wife Jennifer Garner last month after three children and a decade-long marriage.

The 42-year-old Oscar winner just flatly denied Us Weekly's allegations he had an affair with the family's former nanny Christine Ouzounian, 28, last spring.

And while the Batman v Superman star might be completely innocent, DailyMail.com decided to take a look back at celebrities who've cheated with 'the help.'

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner through the years

Cheating is said to be a symptom of larger relationship problems, yet it happens frequently among the rich and powerful with their paid, conveniently-close staff.

Arguably the most scandalous incident was in 2011 when former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger secretly fathered a son with housekeeper Mildred 'Patty' Baena.

The love child revelation effectively ended Arnie's 25-year marriage to journalist Maria Shriver, with whom he has four children - Katherine, 25, Christina, 24, Patrick, 21, and Christopher, 17.

Ethan Hawke told The Guardian in 2009 that his marriage to Uma Thurman was 'over' when he began romancing their two children's nanny, Ryan Shawhughes.

The 44-year-old Oscar nominee - who was caught kissing a 22-year-old in a Montreal bar at the time - blamed Uma's more successful career for the breakdown of their five-year marriage.

Three years after the Gattaca co-stars' 2005 divorce was final, the Boyhood actor wed his so-called mistress and they now have two daughters of their own.

'I met Ryan through my literary agent, and she was indeed one of Maya and Levon's nannies during a film shoot,' Ethan told the British newspaper.

'After a short period of working for me, Ryan went back to Columbia to get her degree. There were never any scandalous thoughts or actions back then. In the years that followed, my marriage disintegrated due to many pressures, none of which were remotely connected to Ryan.'

Christina Milian's 'dream' became a nightmare in 2010 when her husband The-Dream - born Terius Nash - was caught canoodling in the Caribbean with his personal assistant Melissa Santiago.

The 37-year-old producer filed divorce papers just nine days before the 33-year-old reality star welcomed their daughter Violet, who's now five.

'It's easy to say that it's because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, IT'S NOT,' The-Dream wrote on his website at the time.

'I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile!'
