Britney Spears Reportedly Pursuing Ben Affleck After Recent Podcast Appearance
After finalizing her divorce from Sam Asghari in May, Britney Spears is reportedly ready to take a chance on love again, with her sights set on actor Ben Affleck. The 43-year-old pop icon has been telling friends that Affleck is the “hunk” she needs now.
Speculations about Spears’ interest in Affleck began after a recent podcast appearance in which he expressed empathy for her struggles under a conservatorship. Despite Affleck denying any personal connection to Spears on the podcast, insiders claim that she saw his comments as a sign and is now determined to track him down.
Affleck, who recently ended his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, became officially single in January. Spears reportedly believes that the timing is perfect for them to connect.
A source close to Spears revealed, “When Britney heard him talk about her so kindly and respectfully, it really sparked something in her. She’s certain Ben was trying to send her a message, and now she’s doing everything she can in Hollywood to track down his number.”
It remains to be seen whether Spears’ pursuit of Affleck will lead to a romantic connection, but fans are eagerly awaiting any developments in this potential celebrity couple.
