The former nanny linked romantically with Ben Affleck is living it up at one of the world's most exclusive hotels as the actor's divorce from Jennifer Garner grows ever more bitter.

Christine Ouzounian, 28, is holed up at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air where she's been working on her tan in a tiny black bikini and enjoying drinks at the hotel's poolside bar.

The pretty blonde, who was fired by Garner just over a month ago, appeared not to have a care in the world despite being at the center of a media firestorm over whether or not she and Affleck, 42, are having an affair.

Ouzounian was photographed over the weekend hanging out with a female friend at the hotel bar and lounging by the pool.

At this time of year, room rates for one night at the exclusive resort start at around $1,000 on a weekday and $1,500 on a weekend, with fees increasing according to the size of the room or suite.

The hotel is situated on 12 acres of lush gardens and has 58 guestrooms and 45 suites, including seven one-of-a-kind specialty suites.

A source told People Wednesday that the movie star 'is taking care of Christine's expenses at the hotel.'

The publication reported that the former nanny was first spotted at the hotel last Wednesday and confirmed she was still at the resort as of Tuesday.

A friend of Ouzounian has said it's not just the hotel tab that Affleck is taking care of.

'Aside from taking care of her every need at the hotel, Ben has given her enough money to cover all her bills and expenses, plus spending money, for at least the next three months,' a friend told In Touch.

'Christine has been calling and texting Ben nonstop,' the pal added.

New digs: It's claimed Affleck, 42, is picking up the tab for the former nanny's stay at the posh Hotel Bel-Air in Beverly Hills.

In photos taken Friday and Sunday, Ouzounian is seen on a sunbed wearing a hat while checking her cell phone for messages.

In another picture, she's enjoying cocktails with a companion as her phone lies in front of her on the outdoor bar.

Reps for Affleck continue to deny any affair, saying the claims are 'complete garbage.'

Sources close to the actor have also been rubbishing suggestions he is paying for the blonde beauty to stay at the hotel and telling her to keep quiet about the affair.

The nanny was fired by Garner after the actress suspected she was having an affair with her estranged husband of 10 years with whom she has three children.

The actress, 43, who's currently filming Miracles From Heaven in Atlanta, only communicates with the Gone Girl star about matters directly concerning their three children,Us Weekly reported Wednesday.

'She will facilitate him seeing the kids but other than that, she is finished,' an insider told the publication. 'What happened with Christine is the ultimate betrayal.'

She heard that her husband and the nanny were planning outings together without the children.

'She didn't KNOW anything was going on but she suspected it,' an insider told Us Weekly.

Nevertheless, the mom-of-three invited the nanny along on their Bahamas getaway and while the actress traveled to the Caribbean via Boston, the actor and the nanny flew with the kids from LA to the family's resort home.

When the Dallas Buyer's Club star did reach the Bahamas, Affleck and Ouzounian left on a private jet the next day.

According to insiders, Affleck was going to Las Vegas for a poker tournament and the plan was that Ouzounian would continue on to Los Angeles alone.

But the instead, the pair spent the weekend in Sin City where the 28-year-old was seen at the Daredevil star's side.

According to Us Weekly, by the time he returned to the Bahamas on June 29, his estranged wife had put two and two together.

She fired the nanny and the celebrity couple publicly announced their intention to divorce.
