Can Ben Affleck Handle Another Jennifer in His Life?
Let’s face it: Ben Affleck is just a Jennifer magnet. He can’t help it at this point; he attracts them like a Bostonian to a Dunkin Donuts. The latest Jen in his life is one he’s never met— his cousin-in-law Jennifer Lynn Affleck, who now stars in the Hulu reality show Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Jennifer told People that she has never met her “distant” family member; her husband Zac is the first cousin once removed to Ben and Casey Affleck (his father is their first cousin.) “Zac’s dad has [met them], when [Ben] was very little,” she explains. “I’m hoping to meet him one day, too!” She isn’t shy about her not so close affiliation to the family, especially her soon-to-be ex cousin-in-law-in-law Jennifer Lopez. She was calling herself the “new Jenny from the block” in an Instagram video. Jennifer Lynn told People about the coincidence, “Especially because my name happens to be not only Jen but Jennifer Lynn Affleck, which is the exact same as JLo. She went from Jennifer Lynn Lopez to Jennifer Lynn Affleck, which is so crazy.” If she wants to full embrace her name, maybe she can start writing her own greatest love story never told.
