Has Ben Affleck got his mojo back after Jennifer Lopez divorce? Reports say he is dating this glamorous model

Ben Affleck is once again at the center of Hollywood buzz, with reports indicating that the actor has gained his confidence back after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, this time amid speculations involving supermodel Brooks Nader.

According to sources speaking to Globe, the Oscar-winning icon and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit star are being explained as a compelling match, at least for the time being.


“[Ben has] finally found a fling that has brought his mojo back since divorcing J.Lo,” a source states.

While Nader has continued to be highly visible on the celebrity social circuit, Affleck has largely maintained a lower profile since finalizing his separating from Lopez in January 2025. The actor has not been publicly connected to anyone since the split, despite keeping a close connection with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children, Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 13.

Nader, 29, has been one of the most talked-about personalities in the modeling industry. She gained prominence after securing a win through an open casting call for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in 2019 and was earlier married to advertising executive Billy Haire for six years.

She has also gained headlines for her dating history. According to Page Six, Nader was reportedly romantically involved with tennis icons Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at the same time the previous year.

“I was nearly divorced and so I was, like I told them to give me the hottest, douchiest guy and they gave me Gleb,” Nader described. “And I felt as though there was so much sexual tension on the first day we met that it would just get worse and worse and I just wanted to see what we were working with.
It was great. My God. Dancers know how to [move],” she further said.
