So, has Ben Affleck found a new woman in his life? Has he followed suit with so many other celebrity men and started dating someone half his age? We know the truth now: We know if he and Brooks Nader are actually dating.
It all started when sources told Star Magazine that the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 28, and Affleck “are hooking up.” They added, “Ben can’t wipe the smile off his face,” knowing that “he’s landed her. [Ben has] finally found a fling that has brought his mojo back since divorcing J.Lo.”
However, that was all a big fat lie.
DeuxMoi reported something else, saying, “Despite reports that Ben Affleck & Brooks Nader are ‘hooking up,’ a source tells Deuxmoi exclusively the two have ‘never met’ 📸@backgrid_usa @gettyimages.”
And after this post, Nader confirmed it, saying, “Haven’t met him in my life.”

Back in 2021, Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reconnected via email, and in April 2022, Affleck and Lopez got engaged for the second time and married in a small Las Vegas ceremony three months later before hosting a larger ceremony in Georgia that August.
However, they split up in 2024 and finalized their divorce in 2025. Soon after, he sparked dating rumors with Kick Kennedy after eye-witnesses claimed to Page Six that they were at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. But Kick and Affleck both denied the claims.
And now, he and Nader are denying a new set of claims.
