To be clear this isn’t the first time Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas have been photographed out with masks on. They were seen in masks last week, but we didn’t have access to those pictures. You can see those on JustJared. We were talking about Ben and Ana on our Zoom chat last night. Most people do not get them at all and think Ana is too young for Ben, although a few see how Ben can be charming. At least one person on our call still thinks they’re not a real couple because they’re too demonstrative. I don’t get that perspective at all. My friend Z said that it was gross that Ana and Ben have been constantly touching each other’s faces on these walks, especially because they’re picking up dog poop! I didn’t even think about that and she’s right about how gross it is.
These two can’t keep their hands off each other though, look at this move where Ana is holding his hand, grabbing his arm with her other hand, and smiling at the camera. Also do you think she’s the one who bought them the masks? I do, because they’re matchy. Ana’s seeksucker black check print dress is by Ganni and you can get it for $213 on ShopBop. (I got those details from Daily Mail, I wouldn’t have been able to find this dress on my own, but I did find it cheaper than their link.)
They might be in Venice, CA because Ana moved there. She was looking at a house in Venice Beach last month, although I can’t confirm that she moved. Ben isn’t spending all his time holed up with Ana with occasional breaks to walk the dogs and demonstrate their love. He and Matt Damon held an online celebrity charity poker tournament that raised a whopping $1.75 million for Feeding America. That’s incredible and good for them. Matt Damon is currently isolating in a small Irish town, where he was stuck after filming wrapped on his Ridley Scott film The Last Duel. His wife, daughters and dogs are with him though.
Oh and did you hear that Ana de Armas blocked one of her fan accounts, Ana de Armas updates, on Twitter? I think this post is the one that prompted her to do that.

Goddamn, they’re exhausting.
Agree. And funny. I am laughing because I just saw the photos of their next walk and she is wearing a short black leather dress. The best think you can wear for a walk with your dog during the coronavirus pandemic. Hahaha.
Venice? I thought they were in the US? How are they able to travel?
Or have they been in the US all this time and I’m being very wrong?
Venice, California.
Venice Beach, CA
Venice Beach, California. 🙂 Not far from Santa Monica.
Blocking that fan account is amateur hour. She blocked more than one apparently! Now everyone knows you are bothered and worried about the reaction to paparazzi walks. The twitter reaction no less! Mute, don’t block! Where are her people?!?
Venice, California. It’s a coastal town in the Los Angeles area.
These two are ridiculous. I can’t imagine needing attention like this. They’re always hanging all over each other and smiling right at the paparazzi.
They were probably in the Venice neighborhood of LA.
I’ll fix the title. I’ve been to Venice Beach so I thought that was obvious, but I will add it.
Okay thank you all! I’m just very dumb and bad at geography!
Never mind, already answered 🙂
It looks like they’ve been practising “showing happy emotions with masks on” in front of a mirror together. I have literally never seen Ben’s face do that without a mask on.
Lol so true!!
That dress would be so cute without the bottom flounce. Make it a good deal shorter and that is a dress I would buy for sure. But as is, fug.
Those ruffly things on dresses are THE WORST.
Ugh, I don’t know, just delay those PR moves until the summer at least !! It’s getting annoying
She has no time to waste. She was supposed to already be famous with her Bond movie by now.
They’re ridiculous. I really don’t get their daily pap walks in the middle of a bloody pandemic! It looks bad, I don’t like Affleck, and didn’t know much about Ana before all this, but their performative love nonsense has put me off her too.
Jennifer Garner is another one that needs to stop her daily walks. I get that she has kids and animals, and being cooped up can’t be fun, but it just looks like they’re doing silly competing daily pap walks during a pandemic! Stay home. They’re all ridiculous.
Ben seems to be crazy about Ana. I have never seen him this demonstrative with anyone. Ana looks up at Ben during their walks as if she worships him…he likes that.
They also pick up their dog’s poop and have their hands all over eachother. I find them rather comical & cute.
he’s always been demonstrative with his relationships. Tons of pap walks with every each of his women. FFS, he even made a video with one of them.
She blocked two of her fan accounts. There are other fan accounts that are also tired of her pandemic pap strolls and are calling her out, so I guess that they will be blocked next. Girl can’t handle the truth.
You know it’s bad if your own fans are tired of your shit.
Who cares?
Her fans care?! The people who admire her and make fan accounts? Like Silver Charm pointed out, she could have just muted them and her fans would have never known.
Now they know that she has no sense of humor. She actually proved by blocking them that these walks are pure pap strolls.
@Brinibini One of those accts posted at her that she has shit for brains and stuff like that. Curious as to why you think that’s a fan account… it’s clearly not
You can be a fan and be mad at her for pulling these stunts during a pandemic. I checked both accounts and they both posted tons of pics of photo shoots and links to her interviews before the pandemic pap strolls.
Saying she has shits for brain is not nice, that’s true.
A lot of people are suffering because of corona and these two are still out out and about, slowly walking and smooching for the paps. They could just simply walk their dogs without any PDA and go home. Or Ana could walk both dogs since Ben’s former abuse of alcohol probably damaged his body. Your liver is pretty important for your immune system.
That account was posting abusive stuff at her, they deserved to get blocked, no one needs to read that. They are also gloating about getting blocked, which tells me that they were a troll account trying to get blocked. Also, going for walks is not illegal. They are not the cause of anyone else’s suffering during this pandemic.
@Julia the point of the quarantine is so that they *won’t* be the cause of anyone’s suffering. It may not be illegal, but they are being reckless.
@Silver Charm They aren’t being reckless, they are out walking. People are encouraged to get fresh air and exercise.
@julia how do you think they’re getting to Venice Beach exactly? Who do you think they’re interacting with on their coffee runs? And the group’s of photographers that they know now follow them? They have more than enough privilege and space to exercise outdoors and be a responsible citizen. They are being reckless. They are being selfish. They are being a-holes.
They are not just simply walking. They have been caught calling the paps to tell them they are ready. They are smiling and pda posing. Ana wore a white gucci jump suit just for a simple walk? Please! They’ve been filmed how they slowly walked so the paps could get good pics.
Yes, they can go outside. A lot of celebs get papped going grocery shopping or exercising right now. But most don’t turn it into a photo shooting.
And the paps who are there to capture every moment… are they being good little boys and sheltering in place? Providing an essential service? Are paps considered first responders now
@ yara they are kind of first responders for benana.lol
All jokes aside, the paps shouldnt do their job right now. Doesn’t California make sure people follow the rules? Are the paps paying fines? I don’t live in the US, but here in my country, you gotta pay a hefty fine if you get caught. Like you have to pay 250 bucks per person if you have a picnic in public.
It was definitely a bad look. Streisand effect. Shows you she’s searching herself and can be petty. Mute them. Blocking your fans has no upsides.
Well one of the accounts admitted in a tweet that they may have deserved the block, plus people were calling them out for faking the blocks bc they were still following her account. If they were actually blocked they would not be able to follow her. So then they unfollowed her.
One of those so-called “fan” accounts was posting not-so-nice stuff (before the alleged block) like calling her a dumb*ss etc, which someone else screenshotted and pointed out/posted in the comments afterwards. That “fan” account proceeded to block everyone who pointed this stuff out, or liked the posts that were doing so, lol. Someone got caught and is pitching a fit.
Honestly these daily pap strolls and the fan account being 1000% done with them are hilarious.
That and Irish Twitter’s sheer amusement with Matt Damon going native in Dalkey are the most entertaining things about this whole lockdown.
except that the fan account posted to someone else that they still stan for Ana, they are taking a break from twitter
I’ve been definitely enjoying the Matt Damon stuff, lol. Highly entertaining!
1000% wrong. The guy behind the stan account was actually interviewed about it by Paper magazine, has apologized if he offended her, and says that her blocking him has made him stan for her even more.
Are you the guy from the stan account?
That dress is awful, looks like a tablecloth. Cute dogs though.
I’m so tired of these two but cute dogs.
Stop trying to make fetch happen
People are seriously so obsessed with these two, IDGI
I don’t get people who are upset over the age gap. She’s in her 30s, plenty old enough to to make the dumb decision to date Affleck. To be clear I’m not a fan of this relationship, I’m just tired of people infantilizing a grown ass woman and acting like she’s some naive 18 year old that’s being manipulated by an older man.
I haven’t seen any upset over the age gap, really — not like Kate Bekinsale and the Canadian I’m too old to have ever heard of or Zach Braff and Florence Pugh. I see more comments about how young she *looks* compared to him, and I think that’s valid. In certain pictures because of the over-the-top posing and performance of lurve she looks more like a kid looking adoringly at her dad — it doesn’t come off as lusty or sexy; just oddly, kinda creepily, pure. It doesn’t make it wrong… just makes them look like they have no idea how to pose or display physical chemistry without a choreographer, which is bad for the brand, right?
I don’t get that criticism either. She’s going to be 32 in a couple of weeks and has a divorce behind her already. She’s grown.
Their age difference isn’t that big a deal. She’s in her 30s, he’s in his 40s and they’ve both been married. Ben just is looking a bit rougher than usual, so looking older than his peak Batman form, while she looks younger without makeup. But the pap strolls are so cringe, it must be an inside joke at this point.
What’s the Zoom chat? Is it for posters?
You guys I had a dream about these people the other night!
Benana and Jennifer Garner were all hanging out together on a sidewalk and I was the only person there and I thought if I tell someone I saw them they’ll know it was me who told. I was very worried about that in my dream lol.
Quarantine anxiety and too much time on Celebitchy maybe haha.
Is he seeing his children at all or is he focused on daily pap walks with this new chick? I find them completely ridiculous, but they make me grateful that I’ve never been someone who craves attention. It must be exhausting as hell.
If I were Jen I wouldn’t let him see the kids. This dude does not sit at home ! He’s been pap’d out and about way too much…all over LA. Dude just stay home. Make coffee at home. Be responsible.
Fortunately you aren’t Jen. Absurd to deny the kids their father because he takes his dog for a walk. Or maybe you think Jen should lose custody because she’s out strolling and bike riding every day? She’s another one who can’t seem to stay away from the fresh air and sunshine.
@ Barb
Ben is doing pap strolls. He also traveled to Cuba, came back and was out and about (which you are not supposed to do). Walking your dog is fine, but this dude isn’t walking around in his neighborhood is he? He’s walking around where the paps are and making sure to be seen. I think he’s not being responsible. Also, here in Canada, the only people that are allowed in your home are the ones that live there. I don’t think this is the time to be having sleep overs at dad’s house with his gf. I have the right to my opinion and you have the right to yours.
When Ben returned from Cuba and Costa Rica, people coming from those areas weren’t being advised to quarantine or stay at home. At the time there was only advice for travelers coming from Europe.
He and Ana have mainly been photographed outside his home in his neighborhood. Ana apparently lives in Venice, which explains these photos.
He’s been photographed visiting Garner’s place a lot and she was photographed collecting the children from his house after an overnight stay at the weekend.
I just saw more pics of Jen riding her bike around Santa Monica! Jen is roaming around just as much as Ben..with her nanny, kids, dog and stroller cat.
Such a pR relationship. you could tell she was angling hard to get Chris Evans last year but he was too savvy to fall for that nonsense
I don’t understand criticising the matching masks. Most are sold in a pack so of course they are going to be the same. Even hand made ones are mostly the same design. Everything is closed down so where are they walking to?
Possibly her house? I think she might live in Venice? I do know they were there previously a week or more ago. And they were house hunting in Venice (for Ana supposedly) right after they got back from Costa Rica.
I don’t get these two with all these walks being photographed. It’s so obvious how aware they are of the cameras. Maybe they’re bored and this is fun for them, or maybe the paps know their strolls are a guaranteed check in these lean timesM so they follow them everywhere . They’ve gone from cute to cloying, but hey, people are talking about them, so mission accomplished I guess.
The thirst. 🙄
Most of these celebs have huge gardens, so why don’t they walk the dogs or go for a run around the garden? Unless they’re thirsty & WANT to be seen? It will be safer for all.
Now this is attention seeking narcissism in full glory.
Where is the outrage over the paparazzi who clearly are out and about, running all over town and not sheltering at home? Photographing celebrities is not an essential service. They should be at home filing unemployment like everyone else who has found themselves out of a job bc of this.
There’s just the one paparazzi that they are obviously calling to take their photos.
To be honest I’m guessing most paparazzi are either undocumented or self-employed so they wouldn’t get unemployment. They mostly just drive around and sit in their cars all day until they spot a famous person.
wow- so he’s really leaning in hard to the co-parenting thing…
Photos of him visiting the kids or them visiting him have been taken regularly since the stay at home order too but it’s not as interesting
They are both completely besotted in each other. She has the usual look Ben’s partners have early in his relationships. He does something magical I guess.
Yeah, helps their careers. Magically.
Nice dogs.
They’re not cute, and both of them are old enough to know better.
She may as well not be wearing the mask. It’s not on correctly and will be pretty much zero effective. It’s open at the edges and around her nose and cheeks at the top. You have to wear it properly for it to protect you. This is just for a photo op. It’s lightly draped across her face. They *are* exhausting.
