In a shocking turn of events that has set Hollywood buzzing, actor Ben Affleck, 52, is reportedly deepening his romance with longtime friend and fellow Hollywood A-lister, Jennifer Aniston, 56. The unexpected love connection comes in the midst of Affleck’s high-profile and highly publicized divorce from global superstar Jennifer Lopez.

However, what no one saw coming was Ben Affleck’s budding relationship with Jennifer Aniston—his friend of over two decades and the woman he now refers to as “the most grounding force” in his life.
