Ben Affleck's love life

Following Affleck's divorce from Jennifer Lopez, details about his love life have remained pretty quiet, with him appearing to focus on his work and his family. 

According to a recent report from The Daily Mail, Affleck allegedly has a crush on Angelina Jolie and has expressed his interest. 

“Ben said that he always thought that she was very hot and has admired how she has navigated her career. He has called her smart,” said the source. “He also thinks it’s pretty cool that she has directed films too—something he has done many times. They would certainly have a lot to talk about over dinner.”
