Ben Affleck Reportedly Interested in Newly Single Sydney Sweeney: “He’s Shooting His Shot”

Sources claim the Oscar-winner is “intrigued” by the Emmy-nominated actress following her split from longtime fiancé Jonathan Davino — but is it admiration or just tabloid buzz?

Hollywood | April 23, 2025
Ben Affleck, 52, has reportedly taken notice of Sydney Sweeney, 27, after the Euphoria star quietly ended her engagement with producer Jonathan Davino. And according to a new Radar Online report, Affleck might just be looking to make a move.

“He’s been asking around and putting it out there that he wants to get an introduction,” a source told the outlet.

While the age gap is substantial, insiders suggest Ben is drawn to more than just Sydney’s looks. In fact, he’s said to be impressed by her rising influence in Hollywood as a producer and businesswoman.

“She’s intelligent, driven, and not into the party scene — which really appeals to Ben,” the insider claimed.


What Makes Sydney Appealing to Ben?

  • Ben admires Sydney’s business savvy and growing production career.
  • He’s heard “great things” about her behind the scenes.
  • Her alcohol-free lifestyle aligns with Ben’s journey as a recovering alcoholic.

“She’s known to be a homebody. Ben finds that attractive,” the source added. “If she were the typical 27-year-old who loved to club, he’d be turned off.”

Sweeney has previously stated in interviews:

“I don’t drink. I never really think about alcohol. I’m a water person.”


What About the Age Gap?

With a 25-year age difference between the two stars, the pairing would no doubt raise eyebrows — but Hollywood certainly isn’t new to May-December romances.

“He knows the age gap could be a factor,” the insider admits. “But he’s still going to shoot his shot when the time comes. He has nothing to lose.”

Affleck previously dated Ana de Armas, 17 years his junior, and recently ended his rekindled marriage with Jennifer Lopez, who is a few years older than him.


Rumor or Reality?

So far, there’s no official comment from either Ben or Sydney, and no sightings or credible reports suggest the two have actually met.

But in the world of Hollywood romances — especially post-breakups and career pivots — stranger pairings have taken root.

Whether this turns into a new power couple or fizzles as tabloid fantasy remains to be seen.
