Ben Affleck is said to be nearing divorce with his wife, Jennifer Lopez. However, that doesn’t mean that the “Bennifer” name will die out. In fact, sources claim that Jennifer Aniston might be throwing her hat in the ring. She may even looking to hook up with the actor after his drama with JLo subsides. The irony certainly wouldn’t be lost on fans, as Affleck has previously been married to Jennifer Garner as well.
According to In Touch Weekly, Jennifer Aniston has had a crush on Ben Affleck forever. The pair previously starred together in the film “He’s Just Not That Into You,” and have reportedly been looking to work together again. Meanwhile, the “Friends” beauty is allegedly waiting for the right time to pounce on her old co-star as he and Jennifer Lopez seem to be plummeting toward a public split.
“Jen has definitely had a mini crush on Ben for years, but he’s always been in these very serious, long-term relationships during that time. But change is in the air,” an insider told the magazine.
Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck Ready To Couple Up Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce?
“As things pretty openly wind down between JLo and Ben, there’s a real opportunity for Jen [Aniston] to make up for lost time with Ben,” the source continued. “They’ve never really been single at the same time before, and Jen has been a true-blue fan of Ben’s for decades.”
Meanwhile, Aniston and Affleck’s mutual friends Sandra Bullock and Jon Hamm reportedly feel like they’d make a great couple and could even make it official “down the road.”
Aniston has had high-profile romances in the past. She’s been married to actors Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. She’s also dated men like John Mayer and Vince Vaughn. However, the informant claims that Affleck is “exactly” what’s she’s looking for in a man.
“Ben really is exactly Jen’s type: he’s an overachiever, he’s self-made, he’s still culturally relevant, and he’s still handsome as hell,” the source continues. “But Jen has had these unrequited crushes before — several times since she and Brad Pitt split up — and it’s always been tricky for her to turn them into something real.”
If Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston did get together, it certainly would give fans something to talk about. The couple would be huge news in the entertainment world. However, Jennifer Lopez may not find it interesting.
