Ben Affleck was said to be delighted that his divorce from Jennifer Lopez has been finalized.
The actor and father of three made it clear via close sources and leaks in the media that he was ready to start a new chapter as a single man.
Affleck planned to close his eyes and jump back into the dating pool, hoping to find another woman matching his unique grumpy charm and lack of desire for adventure.
He assumed that it was going fast and furious with the member of the opposite sex because he is Mr. Batman, the man who got engaged to Jennifer Lopez twice and earned himself the title of the sexiest man alive.
The weeks have turned to months, and Ben Affleck is still single, longing to mingle. Becoming desperate, the actor told the Daily Mail that he would not mind a meeting with his ex-girlfriend, Ana de Armas, now that Tom Cruise has expressed interest.
When de Armas declined his offer, preferring to move on with her career and romance with either Tom Cruise or Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Ben Affleck was suddenly interested in going back to dating apps, according to Page Six.
That also hit a roadblock. In his last attempt to find love, Affleck has timidly turned to close friends he believes might just set him up with a woman of his age and status.
A source close to Affleck told the Daily Mail that Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, are now trying to find a suitable partner for their longtime friend.
According to the media outlet: “But the task has seemingly been taken on by Damon’s wife Luciana Barroso, who is said to have her antennas up’ for potential suitors for her close friend following his highly publicized split from Jennifer Lopez.”
The person with ties to Affleck added: “Ben‘s been on a couple of under the radar dates, but so far there’s been no magic for him. Ben told both Luciana and Matt he needs more time, but Luciana has two potential friends lined up and is keen to see if Ben would hit it off with them.”
Meanwhile, Lopez seems to be living her best life as a mother, single woman, and performer. The entertainer is focused on the future and is not looking back. However, dating is not a top priority for now.
