“Jen has definitely had a mini crush on Ben for years, but he’s always been in these very serious, long-term relationships during that time. But change is in the air,” reveals a longtime source close to the Friends star, 55. Los Angeles, California.

“As things pretty openly wind down between J. Lo and Ben, there’s a real opportunity for Jen [Aniston] to make up for lost time with Ben,” says the source. “They’ve never really been single at the same time before, and Jen has been a true-blue fan of Ben’s for decades.” While it looks like it’s finally the end of the road for Ben and J. Lo, he has seemingly always been unavailable for Jen. After the Morning Show star’s divorce from Brad Pitt was finalized in 2005, Ben was married to ex-wife Jennifer Garner until 2018. Jennifer had eventually moved on with second husband Justin Theroux, though they split in 2017. She hasn’t been in a serious relationship since her second divorce. “They did work together on He’s Just Not That Into You 15 years ago but they were trying to figure out a project together for years before then, and they still keep each other in mind for stuff,” says an insider.

“There’s a very friendly and flirty open line of communication between them, plus a boatload of mutual friends — everybody from Jon Hamm to Sandra Bullock, who can totally see Ben and Jen becoming a couple down the road.”
