Ben Affleck risks his friendship with Matt Damon after wild demand
It is being reported that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are having trouble in their friendship.
An insider told Radar Online that Affleck expects Damon to be his matchmaker after his 2025 divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
For those unaware, The Accountant star and Lopez crossed paths on the set of Gigli in 2002, got engaged that same year, postponed their 2003 wedding, and ended up parting ways in 2004. The high-profile Hollywood couple rekindled their romance in 2021, re-engaged a year later in April, and eventually tied the knot in Las Vegas and Georgia in July and August 2022.
Notably, their marriage could not last long, as Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024. However, she listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024, while their divorce was finalized in January 2025.
Now, Affleck, who third-wheeled alongside Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, at the Animals premiere in Los Angeles, wants his friend to help him find a partner, whereas the Interstellar star has clearly denied it.
The source said, "Matt loves Ben, but he likes his female friends too much to set them up with him. He wants to keep those friendships."
"Matt knows plenty of beautiful, successful single women. But he's not handing over their phone numbers. He's watched Ben fall in love, get married and get divorced. Twice,' the insider concluded.
It is pertinent to mention that Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso have been married since 2005, while Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez and has divorced both.
