Allegations of a past affair between Blake Lively and Ben Affleck during 2009–2010, when Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner, have seemingly resurfaced amid Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
July 05, 2025: These resurfacing rumors have reignited public interest in the private lives of these celebrities, though no concrete evidence supports the affair claims.
Blake Lively and Ben Affleck Rumors
The alleged claims making their rounds online are outlined in this TikTok video posted by user @stephwithdadeets:
Blake Lively and Ben Affleck The Town
The speculation gained momentum following a video posted by Jennifer Garner on the set of the latest Deadpool, where she reportedly referred to Lively as “Scarlett Witch.” Some fans interpreted this as a subtle jab at Lively, possibly alluding to past tensions.
However, this interpretation remains unconfirmed and could be coincidental.
Blake Lively and Ben Affleck Photos
Further fueling the rumors are unverified claims that Lively sent Affleck nude photos while filming The Town. Allegedly, Garner discovered these images and subsequently leaked them online. These allegations, however, lack substantiation and are based on hearsay. There is no evidence to back it up.
TikToker @stephwithdadeets goes into details about these allegations in a more recent forum post.
Did Blake Lively and Ben Affleck Date?
According to this Reddit thread, the pair did not date, but Lively was rumored to have “cheated with Ben Affleck when they shot “The Town.” However, there is no evidence to support these allegations. As a result, there is no confirmed evidence that Lively and Affleck dated or had an affair. While they worked together on the 2010 film The Town, where they portrayed romantic partners, there is no public acknowledgment of a romantic relationship between them.
Rumors about a past affair between Blake Lively and Ben Affleck can be damaging because they harm reputations and distract from ongoing professional matters, like Lively’s legal case. Even without evidence, such speculation spreads misinformation and invites unfair public scrutiny. These rumors can also take an emotional toll on everyone involved, including their families.
Blake Lively Lawsuit
The timing of these resurfacing rumors is notable, coinciding with Lively’s legal disputes. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and defamation.
Baldoni countersued, accusing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of defamation and civil extortion.
The trial is now scheduled for March 2026.
