Ben Affleck’s love life has long been a fixture in Hollywood headlines, marked by high-profile romances, emotional rebounds, and an epic rekindling that captured the world’s attention. From his early 2000s tabloid-fueled engagement to Jennifer Lopez to his decade-long marriage with Jennifer Garner, Affleck’s romantic journey has played out like a blockbuster drama. Most recently, he made headlines for his high-profile divorce from Lopez. And he might have his eyes set on Sydney Sweeney next. Here’s what a source alleged.

Ben Affleck ‘has been crushing’ on Sydney Sweeney, a source alleged

Ben Affleck might be ready to get back into the dating world following his failed marriage to Jennifer Lopez. The movie star doesn’t like the media’s focus on his love life. However, fans can’t get enough of the rumors — especially when they surround other Hollywood elites. A source told RadarOnline that Affleck now might have his sights set on Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney.

Ben has been crushing on Sydney for a while,” an insider alleged. “Just like nearly every other man in the world, he thinks she’s incredibly hot, and he’d love a chance to take her out. He swears his interest goes beyond her looks. She’s already making moves in Hollywood as a producer, and he thinks that’s incredibly impressive.”

The insider added that Affleck “heard great things about” Sweeney’s “intelligence and business savvy” through others, and he’s “eager to meet her.”

Sweeney and Jonathan Davino’s relationship has been a subject of public interest since they began dating in 2018. The couple got engaged in 2022, with Sweeney referring to Davino as her “best friend” and “producing partner.” However, in early 2025, reports surfaced that Sweeney and Davino had called off their wedding, citing significant relationship issues. Despite ending their engagement, sources indicated that the two maintain a close platonic relationship, with Sweeney finding it difficult to completely sever ties due to their long-term connection and shared life plans.

While Ben Affleck might have an interest in Sydney Sweeney, he’s reportedly open to dating in general post-Jennifer Lopez.

“Ben is dating again,” a source told In Touch Weekly. The insider added that Affleck’s divorce from Lopez “did a number on him, but he’s not giving up on love.”

Affleck “seems to thrive on the stability of being in a relationship,” the source continued. “He’s looking forward to meeting someone new.”

The Hollywood filmmaker allegedly wants an “independent” woman “strong in her convictions” who “understands that Ben’s sobriety has to come first.”

“Someone sober would be ideal, but it’s not a priority,” the source noted. ” … He really does want lasting love.”

Is Sydney Sweeney single?

It appears that Sydney Sweeney is officially single since breaking off her engagement to Jonathan Davino. Sweeney and Davino were allegedly having problems for quite some time, and the young star hoped to focus on her work moving forward.

“She’s exactly where she wants to be,” a source told People in March 2025. “Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She’s all about working right now and very excited about all her projects. What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn’t feel right about it.”

The insider added that Sweeney isn’t “ready to settle down” just yet. “They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn’t split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.”

With this in mind, it seems Sweeney might not want to go on a date with Ben Affleck anytime soon.
