Jennifer Aniston steps into the spotlight with Ben Affleck's interest

The divorce of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck is causing a lot of emotions. Similarly, the actor's return to the single market generates significant excitement. According to the latest media reports, the 52-year-old has caught the eye of Jennifer Aniston. However, they have more in common than it might seem.

In recent months, the media has been buzzing with information about Ben Affleck's and Jennifer Lopez's marital issues. All signs suggest that "Bennifer" is now a thing of the past. At the end of August, the artist decided to file divorce papers. According to the TMZ portal, which first reported the news, Lopez filed the application pro per, personally and without a lawyer.

The separation of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez and his return to the "single market" are causing many emotions. However, it looks like plenty of women are eager to fight for the 52-year-old actor's heart. Therefore, it's no surprise that today, almost every woman who appears alongside Ben is treated as a potential candidate for his new love interest.

According to the latest media reports, the actor might also be of interest to his colleague. We're talking about Jennifer Aniston. As an "In Touch" informant reports, the "Friends" star is impressed with Ben. It's worth mentioning that the actors have already worked together in the past on a romantic comedy, and according to the informant, "they still remember each other."

Jen has definitely had a mini crush on Ben for years, but he’s always been in these very serious, long-term relationships during that time. But change is in the air [...] As things pretty openly wind down between J. Lo and Ben, there’s a real opportunity for Jen [Aniston] to make up for lost time with Ben. [...] They’ve never really been single at the same time before, and Jen has been a true-blue fan of Ben’s for decades — said a source close to Jennifer Aniston.

The informant also noted that Aniston and Affleck communicated "very friendly" through their joint work on the film set. They also share quite a few mutual friends. Sandra Bullock "completely sees Ben and Jen as a couple in the future." Visual aspects also come into play.

Ben really is exactly Jen’s type: he’s an overachiever, he’s self-made, he’s still culturally relevant, and he’s still handsome as hell," the source notes. "But Jen has had these unrequited crushes before — several times since she and Brad Pitt split up — and it’s always been tricky for her to turn them into something real — the informant added bitterly in an interview with the "In Touch" editorial team.
