The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jennifer Lynn Affleck – the distant cousin of Ben Affleck – confessed on Thursday that she’s never met him just three days after declaring herself ‘the new Jenny from the block.’
The 25-year-old reality star is related to the 52-year-old Air director-actor through her husband Zac Affleck, whose father Dave Affleck is Ben’s first cousin.
‘Zac’s dad has [met Affleck], when he was very little,’ Jennifer told People.
‘I’m hoping to meet him one day too!’
The MomToker – whose maiden name has not been disclosed – became an Affleck in 2019 and, in 2022, Jennifer Lynn Lopez legally changed her name to Jennifer Lynn Affleck when she married the two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker.

‘[It’s] so crazy!’ Jennifer marveled.
‘People are very curious and wondering how we’re related and it’s so funny.’
After the couple formerly known as Bennifer’s Georgia nuptials, Affleck posted a TikTok dance video captioned: ‘When you thought you were going to be the next JLO. But instead, she stole your name & you’re busting it down to Ms. Rachel.’
The 55-year-old pop diva has since filed for divorce from Ben in LA County Superior Court on August 20, and she requested to have her legal name be restored to her birth name.
The content creator is hoping Affleck or his younger brother Casey Affleck watches her new eight-episode reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premieres this Friday on Hulu.
‘Hopefully they’ll tune in and hopefully we can do a meet and greet,’ Jennifer said.
‘They can tell me how the show is.’
On Monday, Affleck uploaded a TikTok dancing to JLo’s 2002 hit Jenny from the Block while getting fresh blonde highlights and waist-length hair extensions at her castmate Jessi Ngatikaura’s salon in Utah on Monday.
