Ben Affleck is having fun with model Brooks Nader, a source exclusively confirms to Star.
The A-list actor, 53, and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 28, “are hooking up,” said the source, adding that “Ben can’t wipe the smile off his face” knowing that “he’s landed her.”
The Academy Award winner’s ex-wife Jennifer Lopezfiled for divorce on August 20, 2024 — exactly two years after they celebrated their nuptials at a traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia. They separated on April 26, 2024, and their divorce was made final last year.

According to Star’s source, “[Ben has] finally found a fling that has brought his mojo back since divorcing J.Lo.”
The actor hasn’t been romantically tied to anyone since his high-profile split from the Kiss of the Spider Woman star, 56, even though he remains close to ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares children Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13.
For her part, Nader was previously married to advertising executive Billy Haire before they separated in 2022. The former Dancing with the Stars contestant was also most notably linked to her pro partner, Gleb Savchenko.

The Love Thy Nader star has also been briefly tied to Tom Brady as well as tennis players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
A source told Star in December that Affleck’s ex-wife Garner is eager to see him move on from Lopez, whom he was previously engaged to in the early aughts.
“She’d like to see him in a stable relationship,” the source said at the time. “She knows he’s lonely.”
“Ben will always be family and will be in her life forever,” added the source, “so she has a vested interest in seeing him with someone she likes.”
