Ben Affleck has stunned Hollywood ever since he came into their presence. With a taste for the cut-throat industry and an edgy new outlook and creativity, the Good Will Hunting star was born to write, produce, and direct masterpieces. However, when it came to choosing a script to star in, Affleck’s fate has been the same as his tragically and perpetually doomed love life.

Despite his strong presence in the movie industry, Affleck’s seemingly fated love life suffered radically. Two great romances and failed marriages later, the 52-year-old actor is seemingly single once again. However, Hollywood wouldn’t be so very entertaining without being occupied with saucy rumors.
The Star-Crossed Fate of Ben Affleck: 2003 to 2024
Ben Affleck, the multiple Oscars-winning filmmaker, ultimately fell prey to what most men do even without the dreamy cottages by the lake and rosebushes by the windowsill. He fell in love with someone he would go on to marry – in fact, two someones. However, in both cases, the end was as unsavory as the circumstances of their meeting.

In the early 2000s at the height of their respective fame, fresh-faced movie star Ben Affleck and rising Latina pop star Jennifer Lopez met on the sets of Gigli, fell in love, became the “It” talk of the town, got engaged, and broke off their relationship months before the wedding. Soon after, Affleck and Jennifer Garner began dating soon after meeting on the sets of Daredevil but this time, their relationship did end in a marriage… and later, a divorce.
20 years later, the great love that never was resurfaced once more as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reignited their love, tying the knot in August 2022, and splitting up in August 2024.

Despite being as prolific in his romance as in his career, Ben Affleck has yet to find a steady boat to drift in when it comes to finding a life partner. Over the past two decades, however, Ben Affleck did exhibit a certain pattern in all of his romantic interests. Simply put, his “type” either involves beautiful brunettes like Jennifer Garner or sultry Latinas like Jennifer Lopez.
From his short-lived romance with the Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas to his rumored new fling with American socialite and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter, Kathleen Kennedy, every romantic partner Affleck has had a relationship with looks somewhat similar and the fans have noticed as well.
With no solid grounds for these rumors, it is not yet confirmed whether Ben Affleck and Kathleen Kennedy are truly dating. However, with no former connection between the two celebrities and with Affleck’s recent divorce, fans can only put two and two together to figure out the rest.
