Is A Woman Coming Between Matt Damon And Ben Affleck?

Hold onto your seats, because this is a story you won’t want to miss! It seems like Hollywood’s golden duo, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, might be letting a woman come between them. Sources close to the situation have told In Touch that these longtime pals aren’t as close as they once were. Why? Well, it seems Matt isn’t exactly thrilled with Ben’s girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus. According to insiders, Matt feels that Lindsay is a bit too controlling and manipulative for his taste.

But wait, there’s more. Matt reportedly believes Lindsay isn’t the best influence on Ben. “She enjoys drinking, and Ben, who recently went to rehab, shouldn’t be around that kind of environment,” an insider revealed. Matt clearly has his friend's well-being in mind, but this situation is creating some serious tension between them. Can their friendship withstand this storm, or is this the beginning of the end?

When Did Ben and Lindsay Start Seeing Each Other?

Now, here’s the timeline. While it’s unclear exactly when Ben and Lindsay started their romance, insiders have shared with Entertainment Tonight that things turned romantic after his separation from his wife, Jennifer Garner. Since then, Ben and Lindsay have been spotted enjoying dinner dates and grabbing coffee together, making their relationship quite public. Rumors have even suggested that Ben introduced Lindsay to his kids—Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6. But despite their growing closeness, Matt Damon remains skeptical about Lindsay being the right fit for his buddy.

Why Isn’t Matt a Fan of Lindsay?

According to sources, Matt doesn’t believe Lindsay measures up to Jennifer Garner. “Matt’s really disappointed. He hopes Ben eventually sees things his way,” an insider revealed. It’s clear that Matt values his friendship with Ben and only wants what’s best for him. This situation is creating a rift between two men who’ve been friends for over two decades, ever since their careers took off after Good Will Hunting. Can their friendship survive this challenge?

Interestingly, Matt has always been supportive of Ben, even when it comes to more controversial choices. For example, when Ben was questioned about his massive back tattoo, Matt had his back. “It’s not one man’s job to tell another man what he can do to his back. I support him in all his artistic expressions,” Matt told The Daily Show With Trevor Noah. However, when it comes to Lindsay, Matt’s support isn’t there. “He just can’t stand her,” the source added. Only time will tell if these two can overcome this obstacle and continue their long-standing friendship.
