We're shocked he ventured out of the Pacific Palisades!

Ben Affleck and girlfriend Lindsay Shookus hopped in their chauffeured SUV and headed down to Venice beach for dinner at Italian hotspot Felix Trattoria last night, and the SNL producer wore a checkered skirt that hid her mid-section, after we got photos earlier in the afternoon of her sporting what appeared to be a baby bump!

These two have been going strong for over a year now, but they've secretly been together for years before that! That's why it's not that shocking that the blonde beauty has moved in with the A-list star at his new $20 million Brentwood mansion.

The Oscar winner is thinking long-term, too.

A source tells X17:
    "Ben wouldn't have broken up his life with Jen and the kids if he didn't think Lindsay was his true soulmate. She's made it clear that she wants her daughter to have a sibling, and although he feels satisfied with the three children he already has, he doesn't want to lose her. Nobody could have predicted this, but he's sober, happy, and in love. He's in the best place he's been in years, and he's ready to blend their families."

Are we the only ones that think he was a fool to ever leave Jen G?!
