Jen Affleck poses in a white dress for a promotional picture for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has taken over social media as of late. Everyone is talking about the show and the drama that has been revealed from it. There is, of course, the constant Whitney Leavitt drama, and the general debate over how the women represent Mormonism and go against the usual constructs of the religion. But one of the earliest reveals of the show was that Jen and her husband Zac are related to Ben Affleck.
In an interview with People, Jen confirmed the relation to the Afflecks, saying that Ben Affleck is her husband’s second cousin. Her father-in-law, Dave, is Ben and Casey Affleck’s first cousin, and reportedly met Ben when the star was young. Unfortunately though, neither Jen nor her husband have met the A-listers, and she says that they are more like distant cousins to them."I'm hoping to meet him one day, too!" Jen said of Ben.
1 Online Sleuths Don't Believe the 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Stars Are Related to Ben Affleck While Jen often leans into the Affleck relation — making TikTok’s to “Jenny From the Block” and even joking that JLo stole her name — not all viewers were so quick to take her claims at face value. Reddit posts quickly began to form of sleuths digging into the genealogy of Zac and his family, and potentially revealing that there isn’t a relation to the Afflecks after all.
