Moving on from his rocky Jennifer Lopez relationship the media had nicknamed 'Bennifer', Ben Affleck now provides tabloids all the sequel cliches their headlines could ever want, as People magazine has just announced that he's engaged to be married.
To Jennifer Garner, his Daredevil co-star, giving the world 'Bennifer 2!'
The magazine admits the couple hasn't officially confirmed this, but says 'a close friend' of Affleck insists on the happy news that wedding bells are in the air. Reportedly, one of Garner's childhood friends said in early February, 'It's my understanding he's going to give her a ring.'
The new Bennifer spent the weekend in Los Angeles, celebrating Garner's 33rd birthday on April 17 with a Saturday night party at her Brentwood home with parents, pals and some co-stars from her television hit, Alias.
Affleck, 32, has been dating the actress since August 2004. Rumours have been circulating about them for a while, but this is the first news about their relationship heading towards marriage.
Let's hope Ben's relationship with Garner fares better than his with J-Lo, which split despite a high-profile engagement. Of course, the disastrous cinematic collaboration Gigli (rated among the worst films ever made) might have something to do with that one.
So, Bennifer II, don't sign on scripts together, okay?
