And Now We Begin The Post-Mortem On BenAna’s Demise
When the news broke yesterday that Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas’ whirlwind pandemic romance has come to an end, we were told by sources that she didn’t want to make Los Angeles her base and he has to stay in L.A. because of his kids. Well, kids may have been the reason, but not Ben’s kids with Jennifer Garner. Apparently, the prospect of having kids together is what led to the end of BenAna.
Page Six spoke to a source who claims that Ben and Ana were in “different places,” which is cute if you’re pitching a Friday-night sitcom but not so cute when you’re talking about committing to a relationship. The different places could literally be their preferred locations because as I mentioned above, they weren’t on the same page when it came to where they’d call home. Page Six’s source also claims they were mentally in different places. Specifically, 32-year-old Ana was ready for kids, and 48-year-old Ben was like, “Naw, I’m good with three.”
“He would not commit to having more kids,” said the insider. “She is in her 30s. It was a deal-breaker.”
Another source claims that Ben’s schedule was too full to pencil in a commitment like making more babies.
“Ben is not in a place to start a new family. Both he and Ana have three jobs lined up. His family has, and will continue, to be his focus.”
However, there’s another source who should drop whatever they’re doing and start writing movies for the Hallmark Channel. Because according to this source, we could totally see Ana running back into Ben’s arms (literally – I’m sure at least 3 photographers would be present to catch such a tender moment).
“They could get back together,” said a source. “They are in love. People who know them believe it’s temporary.”
Well okay, so maybe this split is just a temporary thing. Hey, it can happen, people get back together. But you know what’s a permanent choice? THROWING THE GIANT CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF YOUR EX INTO THE TRASH.

That cutout allegedly came from Ben’s kids Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, who put it in front of her house to troll the paparazzi. Sometime between June and now, that cutout made its way from Ana’s home and over to Ben’s, as the disposal happened in front of Ben’s home on Monday afternoon. Adding insult to cardboard injury, The Daily Mail points out that Cutout Ana didn’t even get recycled; she was thrown directly into a garbage bin. The big question is, who is that masked man throwing Cutout Ana out? Is it Casey Affleck? It supposedly isn’t but if it was, for once, it wouldn’t be him who was labeled as trash.
