In the grand theater of Hollywood romance, sometimes life imitates art. And this time, the spotlight is on Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and the ever-sparkling Jennifer Lopez!
The 51-year-old Ben Affleck, who is currently married to pop stat JLo, spent most part of the last two decades being the husband of another Jennifer. Garner and Affleck ended their marriage in 2018. Fast-forwarding to 2022, Ben tied the knot again with the first Jennifer he fell in love with two decades ago.
Jennifer Lopez’s Elegant Warning
The Super Bowl commercial co-star and current flame of Affleck knows how to steal the scene. In a recent appearance on ‘Today with Hoda & Jenna,’ Lopez talked about the immense success of the Super Bowl ad that she and her husband starred in. Praising Affelck’s directorial talents she said, “No… I know that everything Ben does is great because he’s a brilliant director and writer … when he came up with the whole thing it was hilarious.”
She also gracefully warned potential flirts with her beau. “Don’t play with me. Do not play with me,” she declared, followed by a poised assertion “First of all, I’m a lover, not a fighter, but I will let them know in a very elegant and lady-like way to step all the way off.” Looks like the need arose pretty quickly as the news is that Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner are to work together on Netflix’s new thriller ‘Animals.’

Ben Affleck And Jennifer Garner Together At Work
Now, let’s talk about the main event, ‘Animals.’ Ben Affleck is set to direct and produce this Netflix crime thriller. According to The Hollywood Reporter, casting roulette has Jennifer Garner in negotiations to star opposite Matt Damon. Hold up, did someone say déjà vu? Affleck’s ex-wife and the mother of his children teaming up for an on-screen venture. This is the stuff Hollywood dreams or maybe sometimes nightmares are made of! Although the former married couple have starred in the same project, being directed by her ex-husband would be a first for Garner.
‘Animals,’ is penned by screenwriters like Billy Ray and Connor McIntyre. The crime thriller’s plot is about how a politician and his wife dive into the gritty underworld to rescue their kidnapped son. Actor Matt Damon is poised to play the politician, while Jennifer Garner steps is to play the role of his wife. A dynamic on-screen duo, no doubt, but with the twist of Affleck directing his former leading lady.
