After years of romantic ups and downs with Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck is now said to be eyeing a fresh connection — with none other than rising star Sydney Sweeney. The Euphoria actress recently ended her engagement with 41-year-old businessman Jonathan Davino, calling off their May wedding just days before it was set to happen.
Sources told RadarOnline.com that Sydney has already been spending time with her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell following the breakup. However, insiders say that Affleck has had his eye on her for quite some time.
“Ben has been crushing on Sydney for a while,” revealed a source close to the actor. “Like many others, he finds her incredibly attractive and would love the chance to get to know her on a deeper level.”
But Affleck’s interest reportedly extends far beyond appearances. “He insists it’s not just about looks. Sydney’s making impressive moves behind the scenes in Hollywood as a producer, and Ben thinks that’s seriously admirable,” said one insider.
Apparently, Affleck has even been putting out feelers to connect with the 27-year-old actress. “He’s been asking mutual contacts about her and letting it be known that he’s interested in meeting her,” the source added. “Ben’s also heard she’s sharp, business-savvy, and focused — all things that really appeal to him.”
Despite their nearly 30-year age difference, Affleck doesn’t view it as a hurdle. “It might raise eyebrows, sure, but Ben isn’t concerned. He’s more focused on who she is as a person,” the insider noted. “If Sydney were a wild partier, he wouldn’t be drawn to her. But she’s low-key, driven, and confident — everything Ben has always admired in a woman.”
Whether anything develops remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear — Ben Affleck’s attention is now firmly on Sydney Sweeney.
