According to insiders, the A-lister is “ready to be in love again”, turning to Raya to find Mrs Right.

The secret dating app for celebrities

Ben Affleck has reportedly turned to a dating app in his search for love.

Page Six spies say the Batman star has been relying on celeb-friendly app Raya to find dates.

“He seems to want a real partner and is not looking to date a celebrity. He is private and is in a good space right now,” a source told Page Six. “He has his kids and is focusing on work, but is ready to be in love again.”

Meanwhile, Affleck was spotted on a date with a young brunette a couple of weeks ago at the Hotel Bel-Air.

“It seemed innocent, like a first date. He was in a good [mood], and they both seemed really into each other,” said a spy. “There was no overt PDA or anything like that. They were having dinner.”

A source familiar with the actor said he’s no longer on Raya, and that he is often at the Bel Air Hotel for work meetings.

Affleck was also spotted at dinner in Santa Monica with Steve Jobs’ widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, earlier this month. They reportedly dined for nearly three hours at Giorgio Baldi, but sources told Page Six it was strictly platonic. “They have been friends for a long time,” a source said.

Affleck had a very public tryst with Playboy model Shauna Sexton in 2018. Multiple sources told Page Six that pals of the star were not enthusiastic about that relationship. “I think it’s so belittling … He found a girl he can just go out drinking with and [have sex with],” one source who knows Affleck told the publication at the time.

The actor has since traded in booze for coffee. He completed a 40-day rehab program after the Sexton fling and rekindled his romance with Saturday Night Live producer Lindsay Shookus, his last serious relationship.

At the time, a source described Shookus as being like his sober coach. “They drink coffee a lot. She encourages that instead of alcohol,” the source said.

Shookus and Affleck split earlier this year, and she has since been linked to Jon Hamm.
