Ben Affleck knows all too well what it’s like to be at the center of a high-profile breakup in Hollywood. The actor has been making headlines for his divorce from Jennifer Lopez for months. Now, he’s allegedly crushing hard on newly single actress Sydney Sweeney after she called off her wedding to longtime fiance Jonathan Davino. Now that both stars are officially single and back on the market, the Batman actor is allegedly looking to shoot his shot with the Euphoria star.
According to The Globe, Ben Affleck, 52, has a major crush on Syndey Sweeney, 27. Since splitting with Jennifer Lopez last year, the actor has reportedly been looking for his next leading lady. Now that Sweeney has called off her wedding, Sweeney seems like a great choice for the actor’s next romance, despite the age gap between he two stars.
“Ben has been crushing on Sydney for a while,” an insider tells the outlet. “Just like nearly every other man in the world, he thinks she’s incredibly hot and he’d love a chance to take her out.”
Ben Affleck Wants To Shoot His Shot With Sydney Sweeney
While Sweeney is undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous stars in Hollywood, Affleck allegedly isn’t all about her looks. The Argo director is also interested in her talent, intelligence, and business sense.
“He swears his interest goes beyond her looks. She’s already making moves in Hollywood as a producer, and he thinks that’s incredibly impressive,” the source continued. “He’s heard great things about her intelligence and business savvy through the grapevine so he’s very eager to meet her and see for himself.”
Ben is allegedly not worried about the age difference between him and Sydney. Despite the gap, the pair may actually have a lot in common. Sweeney is said to be a homebody who likes calm nights rather than partying at the club. In addition, the actress has revealed that she doesn’t drink, which is likely an important trait to Affleck, who is a recovering alcoholic.
Affleck has reportedly told people he’s interested in Sweeney and wants an introduction. As Sydney’s career continues to take off with roles in The White Lotus and the upcoming Housemaid film, a high-profile romance with an A-lister who is JLo’s ex-husband would likely rock Hollywood.
While Ben Affleck hasn’t publicly expressed interest in Sydney Sweeney, fans will now be on the lookout for the duo spending time together as they navigate dating again following painful and publicized breakups.
