From Reel to Real: All the Details about the Odd Pairing of Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas

Two equally good-looking actors playing husband and wife on-screen – is this not the perfect recipe for a real-life relationship? This is exactly what happened with Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, who, judging by their sweet outings, may have turned their connection from reel to real.

In case you missed it, Ben has constantly been seen with a new girl, Ana, whom he first met on the set of the psychological thriller Deep Water, which will premiere in November. It certainly is one of the oddest pairings of late but it seemed that they are happy with each other’s company.

First Meeting

Interestingly, they may have forced chemistry in the film that was based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel of the same name – just like how it usually is with new love teams. But as it turned out, the two have harnessed a great connection since they shot the movie in New Orleans last year.

Apparently, the Cuban star is very pleasant to everyone on the set, greeted and smiled to anyone all the time. Even so, a source claimed Ana and Ben maintained a professional attitude at work.

The insider further claimed that it was because the Batman star was focused on making a quality movie. In fact, there was no hint of romance between the two lead stars at the time.

Opening up about His Divorce

Months later, the Argo star spoke about his highly publicized divorce from Jennifer Garner years ago, referring to the unfortunate event as his biggest regret. Despite their split, the 13 Going On 30 actress remained Ben’s greatest friend, who supported him during his troubling times.

Just a few months after opening up about that phase of his life, the 47-year-old expressed the desire for a committed relationship. Could this be a premonition?

Vacations

Just a few weeks later, Ben was spotted in Havana, Cuba with Ana, strolling around, shopping, and dining out. As per a witness, the actor was speaking with the 31-year-old in her native language – the award-winning thespian learned to speak Spanish while shooting for a children’s TV show.

They were seen walking her dogs

This was followed by another getaway to Costa Rica, where they didn’t hold back in showing how they feel about each other. Ben was also seen snapping pictures of his muse, who shared the photos on her Instagram more than a week later.

Sources’ Claims

According to one source, Ana has been having a lot of fun with Ben and that Jennifer is OK with his ex-husband dating again. Apparently, the Alias star sees the Good Will Hunting actor only as a friend and father to her kids.

Another said that Ana supports and respects Ben’s sobriety journey.

Self-Quarantining Together

The couple is spending time together at Ben’s house, occasionally going out for some fresh air. They also were spotted walking her pooch, Elvis.
