Strange Things About Ben Affleck And Ana De Armas' Relationship

Ben Affleck, who has always been so camera-shy, is suddenly all over social media, smiling for photographers with his new girlfriend, Ana De Armas. Something is definitely different here. Whatever happened to our grumpy dad of Hollywood? Even during lockdown with the world in isolation, the new couple seems to be more active and public than ever. At the risk of sounding cynical, the relationship seems to have come together suspiciously quickly. The timing and public nature of the relationship is also convenient, considering the couple have a new movie, Deep Water, set to come out in November 2020. Some sources are speculating that the sudden closeness between the two is nothing more than a PR stunt. What's so strange about this new relationship? Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas have a pretty substantial age difference of about 15 years. The age gap is all the more evident because De Armas celebrated her 32nd birthday with 47-year-old Affleck in April 2020. Ana De Armas shared a series of birthday photos to Instagram, and while the pics are super cute and festive, all those photos seem a little bit unusual for the star we've come to know. Ana shared photos of herself with Affleck out in the desert, snapping selfies in some very cuddly poses, and Affleck looked totally into it. It all looks like a nice day out for the couple...except not everyone is buying it, with some commenters calling out the relationship for seeming a little too produced to be real. As Ben and Ana promote their new relationship, many can't help but wonder if there's something shady going on. Putting together a timeline of the new relationship, Cosmopolitan couldn't help but conclude that the romance is very sudden and very public. In other words, it's hard not to talk about this relationship without acknowledging all the people who think it's a classic Hollywood PR stunt. The couple has been frequently snapped by paparazzi all over the place, and they seem to be inviting the attention. TMZ got enough footage of the pair's March 2020 jaunt to Costa Rica to make a video. Ana De Armas later shared photos from the trip on Instagram, supposedly taken by Ben himself. Our major takeaway from those pics is that he better not quit his day job, because these photos are pretty blurry, or maybe that's just the blur from this whirlwind love story. For more indicators that things are rapidly escalating between the couple: Ben Affleck supposedly asked his ex, actress Jennifer Garner, if Ana De Armas could meet their three kids. However, according to Us Weekly, Garner said it was too soon. To put all this in perspective, production reportedly started on Deep Water in November 2019. People only confirmed a relationship between Affleck and De Armas in March 2020, so even if the relationship is totally legit, it apparently hasn't been a thing for very long. With all of that in mind, Us Weekly claims that Ben was understanding of Jennifer's wish to hold off a little longer before Ben's new babe meets their kiddos. Just because Garner supposedly shot the idea down, don't go assuming that Affleck's ex is upset or jealous about Affleck's relationship. According to Us Weekly, Garner considers Affleck a friend and a good father to their children. A source insisted, "Jen has completely moved on from Ben in a romantic sense. She considers him a friend, thinks he is a good dad to their children and respects him. She is happy in her own life and supportive of him and happy for him and his relationship." According to another report from Us Weekly, not only is Ben having his children meet Ana De Armas eventually, he might also be inclined to have more kids with her. A source claimed to the magazine, "Ben loves children and loves being a dad. He would love to have kids with her one day." Talking about having kids is a totally normal thing for couples, even newer couples, but it does seem strange that we're hearing about this talk so early. It's just another reason why people are doubting whether this relationship is totally on the level. Is it true love, or just a publicity stunt? Only time, and the tabloids, will tell.
