<p id=”par-1_41″>It’s been more than a year since <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jennifer-lopez/?swcfpc=1″>Jennifer Lopez</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/ben-affleck/?swcfpc=1″>Ben Affleck</a> divorced, but that doesn’t mean everyone has stopped commenting on the former couple and their failed marriage. That includes Ben Affleck’s “cousin,” <em>The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives</em> star Zac Affleck.</p>
<p id=”par-2_44″>According to <a href=”https://www.aol.com/articles/zac-affleck-jokes-ben-affleck-163328199.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>US Weekly</a>, after Zac’s wife, Jen Affleck, appeared in a hilarious Dunkin’ commercial with the <em>Argo</em> actor, Zac joked about their banter while poking fun at his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-relationships/?swcfpc=1″>previous relationship</a> with Lopez, saying: “Something about Jens and Bens they can never get along.”</p>
<p id=”par-3_43″>Jen Affleck has also referenced Ben and Lopez in the past, sharing, “I’m definitely the first Jennifer Affleck. Not only that, her middle name is the same as mine: Jennifer Lynn Affleck. I don’t know, maybe we can convert them to The Church.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_36″>People have been buzzing for a while about Zac being related to Ben and Casey Affleck ever since Jen said on season 1 of their show that Zac’s dad, David Affleck, is second cousins with the famous <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/actors/?swcfpc=1″>actors</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-5_45″>However, in season 2, Zac insisted that he is not a “cousin” or related to Ben and Casey Affleck in any way, telling his wife, “I’ve heard that as a joke. No one’s ever claimed to have some kind of relationship with him besides you.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_63″>Later in his confessional Zac admitted, “I have no idea if I am or am not related to Ben Affleck. And that had been like a running joke in my family. It had never been something serious. And so when Jen started telling people that, I did tell her, ‘I don’t think you should say that anymore. I think that’s going to backfire.’”</p>
