A couple of actors have made the decision by mutual agreement because they are both "at different times in their lives", according to a close source.
Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas end their romantic relationship after a year together. The couple of actors, who began their idyll at the beginning of 2020 while filming the movie Deep Water, a thriller pending release, in New Orleans, have broken up at the initiative of the Spanish actress of Cuban descent. According to a source close to the couple told People magazine, "their relationship was complicated." “It was she who broke up. Ana does not want to live in Los Angeles and Ben obviously has to do it since his children live in this city, ”says that person from her environment.
Another source explains to the same American media that they have reached this decision in a completely friendly way. “They are at different points in their lives and there is a deep love and respect. Ben still wants to work on himself and be a father. Both are happy with the moment in which they are, ”said another person close to the already ex-partner.
The relationship between Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck was confirmed when they could be seen together last March on a trip they made to Cuba, the actress's native country. From there they went to Costa Rica for a romantic vacation and then returned to Los Angeles, California, where they reside and where they have continued their romance throughout this year. Both publicly paraded their love during the summer, spent the covid-19 quarantine period together in Los Angeles and de Armas confirmed their relationship on Instagram when he shared photos together on the occasion of his 32nd birthday in early May.
In recent weeks, the rumors that pointed to a break were getting stronger, but the couple continued to be seen together in California, taking their dogs for a walk and making different plans. In these months they have been showing themselves more and more naturally, and De Armas has even been seen with the children that Affleck had in his marriage with actress Jennifer Garner, one of her main supports to overcome her alcoholism. Affleck has made an effort to speak with his already ex-girlfriend.
The actor speaks fluent Spanish and has even conducted interviews in this language to promote his latest film, The Way Back. In addition, he has once joked that his three children, especially the eldest, 14-year-old Violet, speak the language very well and are already surpassing him in his skills, so he has decided to take classes. During these months, De Armas has become a great support for the actor and director, who fights against alcoholism.
