Watch: Ben Affleck and Mormon Wives' Jen Affleck Are the Ultimate Duo in Must-See Dunkin' Ad

Move over, Ben Affleck, there's another Affleck vying to be Dunkin’ royalty.

Four months after Jen Affleck confirmed that she and her husband Zac Affleck were not actually related to the Oscar winner despite initially saying so, she and Ben teamed up for the coffee company’s latest commercial in which she played up the familial connection.

After a Dunkin’ employee called out an “order for Affleck” in the Sept. 15 commercial, it was the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star—whose husband previously alleged that he was Ben and Casey Affleck’s second cousin—who picked up the breakfast order.

“Expecting my cousin, Ben? Nah,” Jen mused. “When Dunkin has something packed with amazing value, they bring me in, Jen Affleck—the value Affleck.”

As she put it, “Twice the personality, half the price. I’m a steal.” 

The 26-year-old was ready to brand herself as the favorite Affleck while sharing why she thinks Ben—who has been a brand ambassador for Dunkin’ since 2023—shouldn’t be their DunKing.

“You know what’s not value? Ben,” she asserted. “Why overpay for something nobody wants? He’s so dated, I’m younger, hotter. Can you believe Ben’s only 53? And it’s not like a young 53, it’s like a weathered 53.”

Meanwhile, Ben—dad to his and ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s kids Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13—heard Jen’s rant as he waited for his order at the drive-thru. He replied, “Rude!”

Although the reality star—who shares kids Nora, 3, Lucas, 2, and 2-month-old Penelope with Zac—jokingly admitted that the interaction was “bad,” she added of Ben, “but not as bad as those grays.”

The Accountant actor rebutted, “Totally average 53, right down the 53 fairway.”

Although Jen and Zac shared that they were related to Ben through Zac’s dad Dave Affleck, the reality star admitted that it wasn’t until Secret Wives debuted that she learned there’s no actual familial connection. She emphasized to Us Weekly in May, “I’m still shocked.”
