Well that didn’t last very long.
After months of loved-up snaps of them walking the dogs, grabbing a coffee and stopping for a smooch or two comes pictures of the remnants of their romance being thrown in the trash – literally.
Just like that actors Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas are over after 10 months. Things did seem rather serious when the co-stars-turned-lovers moved in together. But two people stuffing a life-size cardboard cutout of Ana into a garbage bin says it all.
Apparently the image – which features the actress lying on her stomach with her feet up in the air and a big smile on her face – was something Ben’s kids, Violet (15), Seraphina (12) and Samuel (8), came up with last year to play a prank on their dad. But no one’s laughing now – certainly not unlucky-in-love Ben (48).
Seems the Cuban beauty pulled the plug on things, reportedly in a phone call to Ben. By all accounts, it appears Ana (32) just wasn’t ready to play house with Ben who – let’s face it – comes with a ton of baggage: three kids, a famous ex-wife and a highly publicised drinking problem that’s seen him in rehab three times.
Ana just wasn’t ready to settle down, despite all the signs indicating otherwise, according to sources.
