Can Ben Affleck Handle Another Jennifer in His Life?

As a seasoned film enthusiast with a knack for spotting Hollywood connections, I must admit that Ben Affleck‘s family tree seems to be intertwined with a certain Jennifer more than a Dunkin Donuts shop is filled with Boston creams! The latest addition to this star-studded saga is his cousin-in-law, Jennifer Lynn Affleck, who’s making waves on Hulu’s reality show, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”


It’s quite evident: Ben Affleck seems to have a special attraction towards women named Jennifer. It’s become almost instinctive for him, similar to how a Bostonian is drawn to Dunkin Donuts. The newest Jennifer in his life is someone he hasn’t yet met – his cousin-in-law, Jennifer Lynn Affleck, who features on the Hulu reality show Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Jennifer herself admits that she has not yet had the chance to meet her somewhat distant relative; her husband Zac is a first cousin once removed to Ben and Casey Affleck (their father being their first cousin). “Zac’s dad has [met them], when [Ben] was very little,” she shares, expressing hope that she too will get the chance to meet him one day. She isn’t shy about her relatively distant connection to the family, even joking about her impending ex-cousin-in-law-in-law Jennifer Lopez by referring to herself as the “new Jenny from the block” in an Instagram video. Jennifer Lynn shared with People the surprising coincidence, “Given that my name is not only Jen but Jennifer Lynn Affleck, which is exactly the same as JLo, it’s quite remarkable.” If she truly wishes to embrace her name fully, perhaps she can begin writing her own untold love story.
