The Truth Behind the Affleck Family Connection: 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Stars Set the Record Straight

It appears that the supposed family connection between 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' stars Zac and Jen Affleck and Hollywood A-lister Ben Affleck might not be as solid as initially thought. Recent revelations have shed light on the misconceptions surrounding their alleged familial ties.

A close source to the couple has debunked the claims, stating unequivocally that there is no actual relationship between Zac and Jen Affleck and Ben Affleck. The source emphasized the seriousness of genealogy within the Mormon faith, highlighting the importance of accurate familial connections.

Delving into the family trees of Zac and Jen Affleck, the insider clarified the lineage, pointing out that Zac's grandfather is Gordon Affleck, with his great-grandparents establishing second cousins, including Alan Burt Affleck. On the other hand, Ben Affleck's lineage traces back to his grandfather, Myron Junior, and great-grandfather, Myron Senior, with no direct connection to Alan Burt Affleck.

The source attributed the couple's silence on the matter to their newfound fame, suggesting that they have been overwhelmed by their sudden public exposure, which is not entirely within their comfort zone. It is speculated that Zac and Jen Affleck are hoping the speculation will fade away with time.

When the reality show first aired, Jen Affleck claimed that her father-in-law was a cousin to Ben and Casey Affleck, perpetuating the narrative of a family connection. However, subsequent revelations have cast doubt on the validity of these claims.

In a TikTok video, Jen humorously mentioned the alleged connection, joking about sharing the same last name as Ben Affleck due to their supposed familial ties. Despite the light-hearted approach, the truth behind these claims has now come to light.

Contrary to their previous assertions, Jen Affleck admitted that she and Zac have never actually met Ben Affleck in person. While Zac's father had encountered Ben during his childhood, the couple themselves have not had the opportunity to interact with the Hollywood star.

Jen expressed her desire to meet Ben Affleck someday, indicating a sense of curiosity and interest in establishing a connection with the acclaimed actor. The unfolding of events has brought clarity to the situation, dispelling the misconceptions surrounding the Affleck family ties.
