Just over a week ago, actress Jennifer Garner was seen with a mystery man that may be the new man in her life. Yet recently, it was her ex-husband Ben Affleck that was showing off his public display of affection (PDA) with "Saturday Night Live" star Lindsay Shookus.

It seems that Affleck and Shookus have been in some kind of a relationship for a while after the "Batman v. Superman" star's divorce from Garner.

But last Valentine's Day, the couple seemed to say that they are ready to take their relationship to the next level and they are letting the public know.

Affleck and Shookus spent most of Valentine's Day house-hunting in a Los Angeles neighborhood called Pacific Palisades. It should be noted that this is mere miles away from where Garner lives with her and Affleck's children.

An eyewitness shared most of Affleck and Shookus' Valentine's date with E-News. As mentioned, the two went house-hunting in L.A., but what's interesting is that they visited two homes that were both in the $8 million to $10 million price range. Reportedly, a broker was helping the couple with the details, and this broker even gave them a tour of the said houses.

Affleck and Shookus were not shy about flaunting their closeness. There were instances of hugging, kissing, and laughing as the couple walked from house to house.

"They seemed very happy and close. They spent about 20 minutes at each house and left with flyers showing the price and layouts of each," the eyewitness said.

After the house-hunting, the couple decided to spend the rest of the day in Affleck's home. Sometime after the two arrived at the actor's house, a delivery of Valentine's balloons came, which was reported to be gigantic.

"There were big pink hearts, glitter hearts, flower balloons and all types of things that made up a giant creation," one eyewitness shared.

Affleck and Shookus first appeared together in public in July 2017. The actor remains in good terms with his ex-wife Garner, with whom he has three kids: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
