Many could rejoice when it became known that Ben Affleck (49) and Jennifer Lopez (52) had found each other again, having gone their separate ways 17 years earlier.
But the start of the engagement has not just been joy and grief. To People Affleck recently had to disprove rumors that have been flourishing lately: namely that he is on the dating app Raya, a kind of celebrity version of Tinder.
The actor’s representatives tell the website that Raya herself has confirmed that the actor has not been an active user for several years.
The rumors spread after an episode of the reality series «Selling Sunset»which had its season premiere on Friday last week.
There, reality profile Emma Hernan (30) told that she had matched with the superstar on Raya. According to Hernan, he had sent her messages in the app.
– Maybe, maybe he has not asked if we should have a coffee a couple of times, Hernan tells his friend Chrishell Stause (40), and adds that she rejected the coffee offer.
– You could have prevented “Bennifer”! He was hunting, joked Stause.
– Right? It was right before that. So maybe it had not happened. We both have a Boston connection. That was his first check reply, Hernan answers.
Lopez has so far not addressed the statements that came in the “Selling Sunset” episode, but only a day later the singer posted a video clip on Instagram where she takes plenty of time to watch and admire her rather extravagant engagement ring, something US Weekly now draws attention to.
In the video, the star enjoys a love on a stick, looks into the camera and also gives a kiss to the photo lens, while the ring is clearly visible.
This is not the first time Affleck has had to address rumors about his presence on dating apps.
In 2019, the star took to Instagram and joked with the rumors.
‘HA, there you took me. I’m dating, “the actor wrote in an Instagram post according to People.

After the first breakup with Lopez, the actor began a relationship with another Jennifer, namely Jennifer Garner (50). They married and had three children together: Violet (16), Seraphina (13) and Samuel (10). In 2018, however, the divorce became a fact, writes US Weekly.
Lopez also found love again after breaking up with Affleck, and remarried Marc Anthony (53), with whom she later had twins Emme and Maximilan (14). They parted ways in 2011.
