Romance rumors surfaced when the actors were spotted in New Orleans having coffee together and at a bar. “Ben Affleck right behind me spitting game to Ana de Armas in Spanish all night long is a vibe,” an onlooker wrote on Twitter on January 19 after spotting the duo. "They had great chemistry right from the start," a source told PEOPLE. “Ben always seemed very relaxed and happy around Ana, but at the time there were no signs of romance. He was very focused on making a fantastic movie. I've arrived early and was one of the last people to leave.”

In February, Affleck did a candid interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America and confessed he was ready for a stable relationship after his divorce from Jennifer Garner. Five years from now, 'Ben Affleck is sober and happy and sees his kids three and a half days a week, and has made three or four movies that are interesting to him, directed two that he's hopefully proud of… and is in a healthy, stable, loving, committed relationship, '”he said, describing how I visualized himself in 2025.

Affleck - who has three kids: Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 8 with ex-wife Jennifer Garner - showed his admiration for de Armas in an interview with Vogue Spain in March. “The first time we read the scenes together, it became pretty clear she was going to do something exceptional with a very complex role,” he said. "Her character is the engine of the story and requires her to move between tragedy and irony or between realism and the most absurd comedy." The actor - who shared the screen with Garner in Daredevil, with ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez in Gigli, and with ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow in Bounce - added about de Armas: “Not only does she know how to do it with ease, she also manages to surprise you in every shot. Her talent is infinite.”

PEOPLE reported that Affleck and de Armas have been self-quarantining together at Affleck's home in Los Angeles during the coronavirus pandemic. "They order delivery food and groceries and only leave the house for walks around the neighborhood with their dogs," a source told the magazine. "Ben looks incredibly happy. They are flirty and goofy. Ana always has a huge smile around him."
