Ben Affleck hits back at claims he matched on Raya with Selling Sunset star

Ben Affleck has insisted he hasn’t been an active member on dating app Raya for years after Selling Sunset star Emma Hernan claimed she turned him down.

The Deep Water actor reunited with Jennifer Lopez last year, with the pair now engaged. Emma recently claimed on the show that, before they started dating again, Ben had been messaging her on the celeb dating app.

However, a rep for Ben has shut down the claims, telling People: ‘Raya has confirmed that he has not been an active member for several years.’

Speaking to co-star Chrishell Stause in an episode in season five, which was released on Netflix on Friday, Emma said: ‘Obviously I’m still single. I’ve done the whole Raya thing.

‘You do know on Raya there’s some fiery people… You’ll know some of the people on there.’

Mentioning Ben, Emma added: ‘He may or may not have been texting me.

‘He may or may not have asked to grab coffee a few times…’

A shocked Chrishell replied: ‘I didn’t know what he was asking to grab…’

‘No, no! Probably would’ve grabbed other things,’ she laughed. ‘But I didn’t go.’

When it was mentioned that she could have ‘foiled Bennifer’, Emma reflected: ‘Right? It was right before that. So maybe that wouldn’t have happened. 

‘We have the Boston connection so that was his opening pickup line.’

‘So he asked you out, you were very sweet and cute but you said no. Okay, well I think it’s actually very lovely, nice and sweet and cute,’ Chrishell added.

JLo confirmed she and Ben had rekindled their romance last year after first dating in the noughties, sharing a snap of them kissing.

The pair are now engaged, with the actress showing fans her gorgeous diamond engagement ring and revealing her beau popped the question while she was in the bath.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Emma Hernan for comment.

Selling Sunset season 5 is on Netflix now.
