It’s no secret that Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck have similar taste in women. The two Hollywood heartthrobs seem to be drawn to strong, independent, and talented women. They both even dated A-lister Gwyneth Paltrow in the earlier days of their careers. Now that Affleck finds himself single again following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, he’s reportedly interested in another one of Pitt’s exes. This time, he’s hoping to get close to Brad’s baby mama, Angelina Jolie.
According to The Daily Mail, Ben Affleck is looking to move on in his love life after a highly publicized split with Jennifer Lopez. Instead of signing up for a profile on a dating app, he’s looking at another Hollywood A-lister in Angelina Jolie. As the ex-wife of Brad Pitt, Jolie knows a thing or two about being in a relationship with a high-profile man.
“Ben said that he always thought that she was very hot and has admired how she has navigated her career, he has called her smart,” an insider revealed. “He also thinks it’s pretty cool that she has directed films too, something he has done many times with The Town and Argo. They would certainly have a lot to talk about over dinner.”

In addition, Affleck and Jolie could also bond over their divorces. While Angelina and Brad’s split took years to settle and included heated battles over custody of their children and their shared assets, Ben’s divorce from JLo wasn’t as tumultuous. Although, the pair’s breakup did play out in the media for months. Sadly, both couples, aptly named “Brangelina” and “Bennifer” couldn’t make it last and eventually called it quits for good.
If Affleck and Jolie were to engage in a Hollywood relationship, it would likely be much of the same. They’d probably be called something like “Bengelina,” and garner an immense amount of media attention. In addition, their former spouses would also be dragged into the romance with unavoidable tabloid rumors.
While Angelina Jolie hasn’t seemed too interested in finding love again following her divorce from Brad Pitt, the rumor mill has been working overtime trying to set Ben Affleck up. He’s been speculated to want to date everyone from Brad Pitt’s other ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, to newly single stunners Jessica Alba and Syndey Sweeney.
It’s only a matter of time before Ben Affleck makes his debut with a new leading lady. It’s unclear if that woman will be Angelina Jolie. However, it’s been known that Ben has the same taste in women as Brad Pitt, so there’s always a possibility.
