The Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Link

Shayk's former partner, Cooper, co-starred with Garner in the popular series Alias in 2001. Despite the show's end in 2006, Cooper and Garner have maintained a close friendship. Garner was previously married to Affleck, but they separated in 2015 and finalized their divorce in 2018. Affleck, a well-known supporter of the New England Patriots, had the opportunity to meet Brady multiple times during his 20 seasons with the team. The two celebrities expressed admiration for each other during these encounters, with Affleck even referring to Brady as the "king of Boston." Affleck fondly recalled their meeting during a March 2020 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, realizing in that moment how much he cared for Brady.

However, Brady and Affleck’s bromance is seemingly not as strong as it once was after the NFL star left Boston to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.
