Christine Anne Boldt Gives Ana de Armas the Thumbs Up
Ben Affleck’s mom, Christine Anne Boldt, is nothing short of thrilled with his new girlfriend, Ana de Armas. The proud mother of the Good Will Hunting star is genuinely impressed with how Ana has seamlessly integrated into Ben's life and his family. According to a source close to the family, Ana has been nothing short of amazing with Ben’s three kids—Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 8. The source exclusively shared this information with Closer Weekly, painting a vivid picture of Ana's positive impact on the family dynamic.
Why Ana Stands Out to Christine
Christine’s admiration for Ana goes beyond just her professional accomplishments. What truly resonates with her is Ana’s grounded nature, warmth, and intelligence. “What Christine loves most about Ana is that she’s incredibly down-to-earth and genuinely cares about the kids," the source reveals. "She’s not just a partner to Ben; she’s also stepping into the role of a stepmom with grace and ease.” This seamless transition into Ben’s family life is a critical factor that Christine values deeply. It’s not an easy feat, and Ana seems to be handling it with poise, which has earned her Christine’s approval.
First Meeting Amidst a Pandemic
Ben, known for being a mama’s boy, couldn’t have been happier introducing Ana to Christine. In mid-June, the couple, along with Violet and Samuel, flew to the East Coast for a visit. Seraphina stayed back with Jennifer Garner, Ben’s ex-wife. The visit lasted four days, during which Ana made a lasting impression on Christine. The source confirms, “Ana has definitely won Christine’s approval. In fact, Christine flew back with them to Los Angeles and plans to stay for a couple of weeks.” This visit was significant as it marked a milestone in their relationship, especially considering the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic.

Despite their growing bond, Ben was initially cautious about introducing Ana to his mom due to the pandemic. However, as social distancing guidelines relaxed, he felt it was the right time to make the introduction. “Ben is extremely close to Christine and wanted to ensure the timing was perfect,” the source explains. “He’s taking all necessary precautions, but the time felt right to bring them together.”
Ben's Happiness Reflects in Their Relationship
Since dating Ana, Ben has never seemed happier. The couple has been spotted enjoying romantic walks around Los Angeles, and Ana even shared some sweet photos of them together in honor of her 32nd birthday. In a heartfelt post, Ana expressed her gratitude for the love and support she's received, showcasing the couple's undeniable connection. “Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and love!” Ana wrote. “Cheers to another great year.”
Respectful Co-Parenting with Jennifer Garner
While Ben moves forward with Ana, it’s clear he holds immense respect for Jennifer Garner. The pair, who were married from 2005 until their divorce in 2018, continue to co-parent effectively. A source revealed that the couple prioritizes their children above all else, ensuring they provide a stable and loving environment. “The kids are their top priority, and both Ben and Jennifer are incredible parents,” the source says. “They’ve grown closer in recent times and even visit each other’s homes for coffee, making co-parenting much smoother.”
