Tiktok star Jennifer Affleck, also famous for the docuseries The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, turned out to be the wife of Ben Affleck’s first cousin, Zac Affleck, who had been her boyfriend for quite some time.
After making headlines on the news by calling herself “The new Jenny from the block” while dancing along to the song “Jenny from the Block” by Jennifer Lopez on TikTok amid the singer’s divorce process, people had been wondering about her relationship with Ben Affleck.
The revelation was quite surprising, as some thought she may have been a secret sister or cousin of the famous actor.
Moreover, Jennifer had previously mentioned Ben’s ex-lover in 2022 by posting a video with her baby on TikTok, captioning, “When you thought you were going to be the next J.Lo. But instead…she stole your name…and you’re busting it down to Ms. Rachel.“
Watching her use the name of the legendary singer so casually upset some netizens, with one even writing, “Posting with Jennifer Lopez’s song as the cousin-in-law of Ben Affleck amid their divorce is diabolical.” Another wrote, “You should be ashamed of yourself.“
Jennifer Affleck married her boyfriend, Zac, a cousin of Ben, at the age of 20!
Born on May 29, 1999, which makes her 25-year-old Jennifer Affleck grew up in a foster home that strongly followed Mormonism.
Jennifer met the love of her life, Zac, at the age of 18 through a Mormon dating app.
Apparently, she made such a strong impression on Zac that he said, “From the day I met Jen, I knew she had this crazy potential to just touch people’s lives, to make people feel loved, to kind of have an impact on people.“
The adorable couple dated for about two years before getting engaged in January 2019 and marrying in July 2019.
On November 4, 2021, at the age of 22, Jennifer would give birth to daughter Nora, their first child. Announcing on Instagram, she wrote, “Words can’t express how much we love this girl.“
Similarly, about two years later, on July 27, 2023, she again gave birth to her second child, Lucas.
Once again, she shared it on social media with the caption, “My baby Luca boy decided to join us a few weeks early. He is pure joy and has stole his Mama’s heart.” Jennifer has said multiple times that her children mean “everything” to her.
As for the roles in the family, Jennifer seems to be earning the most for the family currently through her YouTube and TikTok ventures, along with TV appearances.
Zac is currently studying at a medical school after recently graduating from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in July 2024.
