Rewritten Article:
Jen Affleck, the 25-year-old reality star, was left drooping her jaw when she uncovered an unexpected truth—she isn't related to the Hollywood heartthrob, Ben Affleck.
"Whoa, I'm still reeling from this!" she exclaimed, disclosing her shock to Us Weekly.
As she navigated her way through the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Jen discovered for the first time that the two aren't connected by blood. Previously, she had assumed Zac, her husband, was a cousin of Ben and Casey Affleck.
"I can't believe it! I mean, I always thought we were extended family," she recollected in one of the episodes in 2024.
"Maybe someday we'll get a chance to meet Ben. We'd be family, y'know," she added optimistically at the time.
Unbeknownst to her, the ties were merely a figment of family banter. "Zac's dad and Ben Affleck are only second cousins. We've never met him. His dad hasn't either," she admitted.
In an interview with People Magazine, Zac explained that the connection was never a serious matter in their family. "I've never been sure about our familial bond with Ben. It was more of a running joke for us," he confessed.
However, things took a turn when Jen started sharing this presumed link with others. "It isn't something we took seriously. But when Jen started talking about it in public, I suggested she should hold off. I think it might backfire," Zac shared.
Despite the revelation, Jen remains hopeful about a potential encounter with Ben Affleck, the iconic actor who won our hearts in Good Will Hunting. Only time will tell if that encounter materializes, and whether the Afflecks share more than a surname.
- Jen Affleck, who initially thought she was related to Ben Affleck due to her husband's family banter, still holds onto the hope of meeting the iconic actor someday.
- In reality, Jen Affleck and Ben Affleck are not blood relatives, a fact that was revealed to Jen during the filming of the show, "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."
- Despite the confusion surrounding their alleged familial bond, celebrities like Jen Affleck and their world continue to captivate the entertainment industry and the world at large.
