The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives: Jen And Zac Affleck’s Claim Of Being Related To Ben Affleck Was Disproved

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen and Zac Affleck‘s claim that they are related to actor Ben Affleck has been debunked as being “absolutely not true.”

The Lies!

People reported “Zac and Jen Affleck’s family tree is under scrutiny. After the Hulu reality series premiered, viewers wanted to know more about the connection between the Utah Affleck family and their supposed cousins, Ben and Casey Affleck. However, online genealogy sleuths say that the ties just aren’t there.”

The source, who personally knows Jen and Zac, disproved their claim. “There’s no relationship. I just don’t think that’s very fair about that either.” They also noted that “the Mormon faith takes genealogy very seriously.”

Family Tree:

“So, Zac Affleck is her husband. [His father] is David Affleck. Zac’s grandfather is Gordon Affleck. Zac’s great-grandparents — which would [establish] second cousins — his name is Alan Burt Affleck.”

“Then, Ben’s dad is Tim Affleck. His grandfather is Myron Junior. His great-grandparent is Myron Senior. No, Alan Burt and Myron Senior aren’t brothers or anything.”

Digging deeper into the Afflecks’ heritage, Zac’s family has ties back to England, while Ben Affleck’s relatives date back to Scotland.

Jennifer revealed that she and Zac have “never met” the Good Will Hunting actor. “Zac’s dad [met them], when [Ben] was very little,” she added. “I’m hoping to meet him one day, too!”

Why lie?

The insider doesn’t think this lie was told to be controversial, they believes the couple might be “overwhelmed” by their sudden fame. “This isn’t their cup of tea.”

“Knowing them, they’re just hoping this will all die down … and not be anything.”

Jessi Ngatikaura from MomTok entered the chat:

During a podcast appearance, Jessi explained that she could see Zac lying to Jen about his family’s heritage. The hairdresser doesn’t think Jen would lie or spread misinformation about her family intentionally.
