Jen Affleck is not directly related to Ben Affleck. Jen is married to Zac Affleck, whose father David Affleck was rumored to be a distant cousin of Ben Affleck, making Zac possibly a distant cousin by some family lore. However, this connection has been widely questioned and appears to be more of a joke or rumor within Zac's family, with no confirmed genealogical link to Ben Affleck. Zac himself has said he has no clear idea if he is related to Ben Affleck, and this supposed relationship has been portrayed as uncertain and more of a family joke than an actual familial bond. Jen and Zac have reportedly never met Ben Affleck.
