It seems Ben Affleck is reflecting on his previous relationship with Ana de Armas. The pair dated from March 2020 to January 2021, and recent reports indicate that the actor is looking back at the romance, especially now that rumors about his friend Tom Cruise dating the actress have surfaced.
According to an insider who spoke with the Daily Mail, “Ben is kind of [a] jealous [type].” The source explained that he did not have a positive reaction to the rumors. “He really liked Ana a lot and then she walked away and left him sad. So to see her happy with his friend is kind of weird for him.”
Despite his alleged discomfort, sources insist that Ben has admiration and respect for his friend. “I think every working actor in Hollywood is jealous of Tom’s success and Ben is not any different,” the source told the publication. “But Ben is also happy for Tom.”
