\u00a0Much has been made about whether or not Jen Affleck is actually related to Ben Affleck<\/a> on reality series The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives and now the two have finally met.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old social media influencer teamed up with her 53-year-old A-lister cousin on a new Dunkin’ ad released on Monday.<\/p>\n

The humorous 60-second spot featured Jen – not to be confused with Ben’s ex wife and former Jennifer Affleck<\/a>\u00a0AKA Jennifer Lopez<\/a>\u00a0who were married from 2022 to 2025 – calling the Oscar winner her ‘cousin’ before poking fun of his aging looks.<\/p>\n

It kicks off with a cashier flashing a wry smile before calling out an order for ‘Affleck’ as he and other customers expect Dunkin’ staple Ben to show up but instead Jen shashays in.<\/p>\n

She then hilariously says: ‘Expecting my cousin Ben? Nah. When Dunkin\u2019 has something packed with amazing value, they bring me in. Jen Affleck. The Value Affleck.<\/p>\n

‘Twice the personality, half the price. I\u2019m a steal. Just like Dunkin\u2019s $6 Meal Deal. A coffee, bacon, egg, and cheese, and hash browns for $6? That\u2019s value. You know what\u2019s not value? Ben.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old social media influencer teamed up with her 53-year-old A-lister cousin on a new Dunkin’ ad released on Monday<\/p>\n

Then Jen – who is on the cast of of the upcoming season <\/a>of Dancing With The Stars – ramps up the humor even more as she trashes Ben’s appearance.<\/p>\n

She said: ‘Why overpay for something that nobody wants?<\/p>\n

‘I’m younger, hotter. Can you believe Ben’s only 53? And it\u2019s not like a young 53. It’s like a weathered 53.’<\/p>\n

Then the twist comes as someone could be heard boisterously clearing their throat when the camera pans to Ben himself at the drive-thru window.<\/p>\n

Ben then retorts: ‘Rude. [I’m a] totally average 53. Right down the 53 fairway.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Much was made about Jen claiming that her husband Zac was cousins with Ben thus making them related by marriage on the first season of The Secret Lives Of Mormon Lives last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However that was quickly debunked as a source familiar with the Utah Affleck family told People <\/a>in September 2024 that the relationship between them and the Boston Affleck family is ‘absolutely not true.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There’s no relationship. I just don’t think that’s very fair about that either,’ the source told the weekly while making sure to note that the Mormon faith takes genealogy very seriously.<\/p>\n

The insider told People at the time: ‘So Zac Affleck is her husband. [His father] is David Affleck. Zac’s grandfather is Gordon Affleck. Zac’s great-grandparents \u2014 which would [establish] second cousins \u2014 his name is Alan Burt Affleck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
