Ben Affleck Addresses Shakira Dating Rumors In A New Interview
It's no secret that the Good Will Hunting star has been a figure associated with a lot of romantic relationship-type headlines and gossip lately.
More recently, rumors and whispers that Ben and the "Hips Don't Lie" singer could be romantically involved began circulating, with speculation growing after the two were reportedly spotted in the same social circles. Additionally, The View co-host Ana Navarro revealed that she had once considered setting up the two performers, considering they've both been newly single.
However, during a discussion on Entertainment Tonight, he has now addressed the dating rumors and made it clear that there isn't a new romance between them. Ben responded to the speculation and gave a blunt response.
"I never heard that in my whole life," he said, adding that "people gossip" and "stuff gets made up."
Ben Affleck Is Reportedly Trying To Move On From Jennifer Lopez
The Shakira dating rumors surfaced not long after the dad-of-three sold his share of the Beverly Hills mansion he previously owned with his latest ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, marking another step away from the life they shared during their marriage.
Around the same time, sources claimed Ben made the move because he is trying to move on from his relationship with Lopez, with one source saying he is "desperately" trying to put that chapter of his life behind him.
"He's been desperate to move on," a source told the National Examiner. "At this point, all Ben wants is for J.Lo to be out of his hair."
So, although it looks like the Gone Girl actor is ready to move on from his last, more tumultuous relationship and marriage, he's not been anywhere near the Colombian vocalist when it comes to his dating life.
