Ben Affleck wants to take Sydney Sweeney out on a date, claims ‘insider’
Ben Affleck reportedly wants to date Sydney Sweeney following his split from Jennifer Lopez.
According to a Radar Online report, an unnamed insider claims Affleck has been interested in the 27-year-old actress for some time, stating, “Ben has been crushing on Sydney for a while… he thinks she’s incredibly hot and he’d love a chance to take her out.”
Sweeney recently ended her engagement to 41-year-old businessman Jonathan Davino after a seven-year relationship. Sources say she chose to focus on her career and has since been linked to actor Glen Powell. Despite Powell’s rumored involvement, the insider noted, “Ben Affleck’s ready to roll the dice on Sydney Sweeney.”
The source continued, “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.” Affleck, 52, is reportedly drawn to Sweeney’s ambition and business acumen. “He’s heard great things about her intelligence and business savvy… so he’s very eager to meet her and see for himself.”
Reports claim Affleck has begun asking around for an introduction and has made his interest known. “He’s been asking around and putting it out there that he wants to get an introduction,” said the insider.
Affleck’s sobriety reportedly aligns with Sweeney’s lifestyle. The source added, “Sweeney’s low-key lifestyle is another draw.” Sweeney has previously stated, “I don’t drink. I just identify as just a water person… I never really think about alcohol, to be honest.”
While the 25-year age difference may raise eyebrows, the insider said, “It isn’t a concern for him.” They concluded, “He’s going to shoot his shot when the time comes, he has nothing to lose.”
