Ben Affleck is leaning on family for support after his ex-girlfriend Ana de Armas was spotted romantically linked with his longtime friend Tom Cruise. Following Affleck’s rumored split from Jennifer Lopez, insiders reveal he’s feeling uneasy about the new relationship.
Over the weekend, Affleck was seen enjoying quality time with his 13-year-old son, Samuel, in Beverly Hills as they shopped for Mother’s Day gifts for his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The actor shares three children—Violet, 19; Fin, 16; and Samuel—with Garner.
Affleck, 52, and de Armas, 37, dated for about a year after meeting on the set of Deep Water in 2020. Sources say Affleck finds it “kind of weird” to see Ana happy with Cruise, whom he has known for years. The couple was first linked around Valentine’s Day.
Friends joke that Affleck might get his own revenge by dating Cruise’s ex-wife, Katie Holmes, while rumors swirl about Affleck’s quiet envy of Cruise’s blockbuster action star status.
Despite the drama, Affleck keeps his cool publicly, showing a relaxed, “cool dad” vibe as he and Samuel strolled Beverly Hills in matching sunglasses and casual wear. For now, family time seems to be Affleck’s grounding force amid the Hollywood love triangle and his ongoing divorce from Lopez.
