KEY POINTS

  • Jennifer Garner allegedly approves of Ben Affleck's new relationship
  • Ben Affleck is reportedly dating his co-star, Ana de Armas
  • Ben Affleck is reportedly smitten with Ana de Armas 

Jennifer Garner has already given her seal of approval to Ben Affleck and his rumored girlfriend and co-star, Ana de Armas.

According to In Touch Weekly, Affleck and de Armas have nothing to worry about when it comes to Garner because she couldn’t be happier for the new couple. A source told the tabloid that Affleck is smitten with de Armas, and he has also fallen in love with her.

“Ben loves that she’s originally from Cuba, he can’t get enough of her culture, and he loves her accent. Ana was a fan of Ben’s work, she had no idea how smart, engaging and handsome he was in person. She’s definitely smitten, and so is he,” the source said.

However, the claims made by the tabloid should be taken with a grain of salt. Even though Affleck and Garner have remained friends since their divorce in 2015, they have not publicly discussed each other’s relationships.

For instance, shortly after Garner and Affleck called it quits, the “Batman v Superman” star moved on with “Saturday Night Live” producer Lindsay Shookus. Garner never talked about Shookus directly, but there were claims that she confronted her over her relationship with Affleck.

A source told People that Shookus refused to quit her relationship with Affleck at that time. But another source close to Garner denied the publication’s claims.

Years after their divorce, Garner started dating her current boyfriend, John Miller. Multiple publications claimed that Affleck is supportive of his ex-wife’s new relationship but he has not directly mentioned Miller in his interviews.

A source told E! News last month that Garner and Miller couldn’t be happier in their relationship. The couple only sees each other whenever they have time but taking care of their respective kids is still their top priority.

As such, it is unlikely for Garner to suddenly open up about Affleck’s budding relationship with de Armas. After all, the co-stars’ relationship has just started.
