Actor Ben Affleck is said to be unhappy and jealous when seeing his close colleague Tom Cruise clinging to his ex-girlfriend, actress Ana de Armas.
A source revealed to Dailymail about Ben Affleck's reaction to Tom and Ana's new relationship: "Ben is the jealous type. He really loved Ana but then she left and it broke his heart. So seeing her now happy with his friend is not a pleasant thing for Ben."
Ben Affleck's friends are said to have joked that the Batman actor should "get back at" Tom Cruise by dating Tom's ex-wife, actress Katie Holmes. However, the source said there will be no tension between Ben and Tom Cruise.
"I think every actor in Hollywood is jealous of Tom's success, and Ben is no exception," the source added. "But Ben is happy for Tom. He admires a colleague in his 60s who is still a star on the big screen. Ben hopes that one day he will be as lucky."
Ben Affleck and Cuban "sex symbol" Ana de Armas dated for about a year, from March 2020 to January 2021. The couple was very passionate about each other, always walking together lovingly. At the time of their breakup, Ben was seen looking listless with sadness. Not long after, the actor reconciled with his younger lover, singer Jennifer Lopez. Ben and Jennifer Lopez married in 2022 and divorced in 2024.
Ana de Armas has had a few other relationships and has recently been seen frequently with Tom Cruise. Last week, on her 37th birthday on April 30, the beauty went for a walk with Tom in a park in London. At the weekend, Ana and the Mission Impossible actor attended a birthday party for former football star David Beckham - Tom's close friend.
Previously, Tom and Ana were first seen having dinner on Valentine's Day at a restaurant in London. Over the past three months, the actress has been picked up and dropped off by Tom Cruise on his private helicopter many times. The two stars have yet to respond to dating rumors.
