Ben Affleck’s cousin Zac Affleck's wife Jennifer Lynn Affleck shared rare experience she had for sharing the exact same name with JLo.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star told People that her married name has always raised eyebrows, and the attention has intensified given Jennifer Lopez’s divorce from Ben, 52.

The 25-year-old actress shares it’s always been "interesting" being Jennifer Affleck, joking she's the "original," as she and Zac got married in July 2019, three years before the On The Floor hitmaker took Affleck's last name when they tied the knot in 2022.

"Especially because my name happens to be not only Jen but Jennifer Lynn Affleck, which is the same as JLo," she explained the married name sharing with the songstress, 55. "She went from Jennifer Lynn Lopez to Jennifer Lynn Affleck, which is so crazy."

"People are very curious and wondering how we're related, and it's so funny," the younger Jennifer added before revealing their connection.

"He's my husband's cousin, but we've never met him," she says of Ben. Zac is Ben's first cousin once removed. His dad, Dave Affleck, is Ben and Casey Affleck’s first cousin.
