Last week, one of our photo agencies posted photos of Ben Affleck moving some suitcases and boxes to his place. They captioned the photos “Ben Affleck helps girlfriend Ana de Armas pick up the last of her things as she moves from Venice Beach into his LA home.” Only it just looked like a couple of things that would be suitable for a weekend trip if you pack heavy. There were no moving boxes, no trucks and no other evidence that I could find. Well People Magazine has a source that claims Ana really did move in with Ben and that she’s excited about that. People regularly runs stories from Affleck’s camp so this has a ring of truth to it. It’s not like they’re going to make it up and risk not getting stories from his PR people. (Who am I kidding his PR people will always give them stories.)
Over the weekend, the Knives Out star, 32, was spotted moving her things into Affleck’s Los Angeles residence from her Venice, California, home.
“She had a huge grin and seemed very excited about living with Affleck,” a source tells PEOPLE.
“Ben and Ana really care for each other and they have a good thing going,” a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE. “She’s aware that his family comes first. And appreciates that. They work very hard at that balance.”
It’s true that Ana always looks very excited when she’s with Ben. I am glad they’re a thing, they’re giving us something to talk about during this neverending lockdown and I hope it lasts for them. I would love it if they did red carpet photos together. Ben was seen bringing overnight bags to Ana’s Venice Beach home last week, which must have been ahead of her move. I’m suspicious as to why there aren’t more moving photos, but maybe the movers did everything and the paparazzi didn’t bother to capture those.
Last week we got news that Affleck will return as Bruce Wayne to The Flash, starring Ezra Miller. Ben’s Batman is not going to interfere with Robert Pattinson as Batman at all, according to Vanity Fair. There’s speculation that Ben’s slimmed-down look is in preparation for that. That film is set to come out in 2022. I’m kind of waiting for the lack of films and tv shows that’s going to happen in about six months to a year, but at least there’s enough backlog.

He looks fantastic. I listened to the podcast you did about them, and while I get where Kaiser is coming from (she just has a sex block when it comes to Ben, I do with some men so I get it), I thought you nailed it. He’s older, very experienced, and he’s giving her the best o’s of her life. good for her!
That picture in my mind your words gave me made me close to losing my lunch.
“Ana is very excited about being the sole responsible party for Ben’s sobriety and life choices and is fully committed to practicing her tuck-and-rolls so she can be more conveniently and aerodynamically thrown under the bus by Ben’s people after some inevitable future poor life decision.” *Fixed it.
“ I would love it if they did red carpet photos together”
Wouldn’t it be ironic and kind of hilarious if, given how long restrictions are likely to last, they never actually walk a red carpet together? After all that hard attention seeki…. I mean…after all that totally spontaneous and unplanned being found by the paparazzi! The tragedy that would be! 😂
She’s way too extra & thirsty for my palate, it makes me wonder does Ben have that same thirst and how does Jen feel about it all. I don’t mean as in envy or wanting Ben back but how Ana acts. My eyeballs would be stuck in a continuous roll.
I am not a fan of hers but Ben is known for his pap thirst. Remember his days with Jlo the original Bennifer. Every time one of his movies came out he did a pap walk with Jen and his kids.
Agreed. Ana is attention seeking and annoying. Her trying to seem low key and trying so hard to act cool about everything while being the thirstiest person in the world deserve a massive eye roll. Not a fan of her at all!
I could see that she moved in, even though it’s not much stuff. why would she need to bring over a couch and dining room table? ben has loads of money and she probably does too. There’s no need to haul everything along when first moving in together.
I always thought he looked good with Lindsay Shookus. I guess they were both on the sauce though or he was on it back then. They looked good together.
Why is her mouth always slightly open?
Because it’s supposed to look sexy! Scarjo does it too
A lot of people’s “resting” mouth doesn’t actually close. Ana has big front teeth like me, which requires some modicum of effort to fully close your mouth. For me, I have to almost bite down to close my mouth in a natural way, and by the time I get home after a whole day of doing that, my jaw is a bit tired.
I do agree many insta models and actresses do not have this issue and lay it thick in pictures though a la ScarJo. I think Ana does exaggerate it, but looking at her teeth, it may also be natural
“She’s aware that his family comes first.”
What happened to Ana is numero uno and the one and only reason that Ben is sober?!
Man, chose a version and then stick with it!
It’s called backtracking because of bad press. The statements her people put out that Ana’s number one and she is the reason he doesn’t need to drink anymore got slammed to here and back. Don’t kid yourself that they don’t comb through all articles written about themselves. They are a couple of the most narcissistic celebrities around.
Next week we’ll get “Ben never knew what love truly was until he met Ana. She’s his whole world, nothing else matters”.
And the week after that: “Ana knows how much he loves his kids. That’s what made her fall for him”
Next month the engagement and the huge pink diamond and then the cheating with another stripper.
I’m curious about HER relationship history. She’s 32.
Ana started dating/got engaged/married/divorced within about a 2 1/2 (mid- 2010 to early 2013) year period to an actor on the same TV network as she was at the time named Marc Clotet. He’s 8 years her senior and people speculated their relationship had PR purposes to drum up interest for the network they were both on. She then dated a Spanish director/writer/producer who is apparently pretty successful in Spain named David Victori for a year from mid-2013 to mid-2014. When she moved to the US, she landed herself an uber successful Hollywood agent named Franklin Latt, they dated early 2015 to mid to late 2016 and were briefly (think no more than 3-5 months) engaged before splitting. Then Ana dated a Cuban painter named Alejandro Piñeiro Bello from early/mid 2017 to late 2018. Her team tried to link her to both Bradley Cooper and Chris Evans earlier this year but I know at least the former’s shot it down before it gained too much traction.
*Oops, I meant the latter (Evans’ team), not Cooper’s
Thanks Lizzie!
A serial fiancee it seems!
They’re always carrying the most random objects.
And ALWAYS with some drink in hand!
He looks good. Finally, his face is back to normal. His face became insanely unnatural looking around the time of Batman. More than drinking, it seemed like he had work done or too much botox/fillers. This is the face we all forgot he had – the face he still had right up through The Town.
NGL, I’m watching Justice League and Ben Affleck wasn’t a bad Batman at all. He had th world weariness to him that I dug.
They were quarantined together for like 5+ months. Moving in together doesn’t seem that crazy at this point.
Except you’re a recovering addict who shouldn’t even be dating even casually at this point much less having someone without their own place to fall back on moving in. By the way shouldn’t Deep Water be having a trailer come out by now?
