You know that a separation is a deal made when one of the people involved ends up in the trash.
That was the news that came out of Ben Affleck’s garage on Monday, where a photographer caught two of the actor-director’s gardeners coming together to put a life-size cut of Ana de Armas, his former crush, in their trash cans. . The actress’ doppelganger was part of a prank that Affleck’s sons played with their father in June.
The relationship between Affleck and De Armas, which began just when the COVID-19 pandemic was sinking its claws in the United States, could not survive the blockades, apparently with news of their separation coming from various channels.
The artists met while playing the role of husband and wife in the movie “Deep Water”, which started shooting in late 2019 (shortly after Affleck fell off the wagon) and is due to be released in August. They were romantically linked in March 2020, and she made it official on Instagram in April.
De Armas, the star of the 2019 mystery and murder film “Knives Out”, was the one who pulled the rope, according to People.
“She finished. Their relationship was complicated, ”said a source on Monday. “Ana doesn’t want to live in Los Angeles and Ben obviously does, since her children live in Los Angeles.”
A second source told People that the split was – wait for it – “something that was mutual and something that is completely friendly”. Paint us shocked.
But Page Six cited a source who said it was all about children. The 48-year-old Oscar winner “Argo” and father of three did not want to have more of them with the 32-year-old Cuban-Spanish actress.
“He would not commit to having more children,” the source told the channel. “She is in her 30s. It was a business break. “
However, a Page Six source maintained hope for reconciliation, saying: “They are in love. People who know them believe that it is temporary. ”
We will believe that when we see it. Until then, it is adios, Ana. Batman says goodbye.
Affleck and actress Jennifer Garner split in 2015, after 10 years of marriage. They finally filed for divorce in 2017 and the separation became official towards the end of 2018. The ex-spouses share daughters Violet, 14, and Seraphina, 11, and son Samuel, 8.
After filing for divorce, Affleck was linked to “Saturday Night Live” producer Lindsay Shookus and, briefly, to Playboy model Shauna Sexton.
