Hollywood star Ben Affleck reportedly cannot hide his subtle feelings toward Tom Cruise, who is dating his ex-girlfriend Ana de Armas. The relationship between the two has been discussed among fans with a 'subtle tension,' and the name of KT Holmes has even been mentioned, leading to rumors of a 'romantic revenge.'
According to the Daily Mail last month, Ana de Armas is currently dating Tom Cruise, and the two were spotted recently enjoying a date in a park in London. They are said to have continued their relationship since Valentine's Day.
However, Ben Affleck's feelings about this are complicated. A source told the media, "Ben has a strong jealousy. He struggled a lot after breaking up with Ana, and seeing her with his friend Tom is uncomfortable and bittersweet."
Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas were in a public relationship for about a year starting in 2020 and met through the movie 'Deep Water.' At the time, the two drew attention as 'Hollywood's representative couple' with street dates and couple masks, but ultimately they broke up.
What's even more interesting is the 'romance overlap' between the two actors. Tom Cruise and Ben Affleck have connections with Gwyneth Paltrow; Tom has filmed a kissing scene with Paltrow in the movie 'Austin Powers in Goldmember.' Ben dated her from 1997 to 2000.
Additionally, Ben's acquaintances reportedly joked, "Date your ex-wife KT Holmes as if you were getting revenge on Tom." Although the connection with KT Holmes, who is currently known to be single, has low feasibility, it is gaining attention as a symbolic 'romantic irony.'
Ben Affleck is currently in the midst of divorce proceedings with Jennifer Lopez two years after their marriage, while maintaining his relationship with their children. Jennifer recently revealed in an interview, "Having overcome a difficult time, I have become a better person with my kids," sharing her recent status.
Cruise continues to be active and performs the same action in his 60s, while de Armas is rising as Hollywood's next-generation goddess.
