Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas are, indeed, very much much in love with each other. The two can't keep their hands off each other even in the presence of Affleck's best friend, Matt Damon, and his wife, Lucia Barroso.
Affleck and de Armas were out at Malibu beach, on Monday, on a double date with Damon and Barroso, and some other friends. The Deep Waters co-stars were photographed hugging and passionately kissing in the sand in full view of everyone else.
The pair arrived at the beach with a picnic bag and a beach umbrella. Affleck was in denim jeans and shirt while de Armas was wearing a white flowing summer dress.
The couple was, also, seen walking down the beach holding hands. Ana was barefoot while Ben was in his sneakers. They were, also, photographed enjoying a conversation with Matt and Lucia and some other friends.
The 47-year-old actor and the Knives Out actress first met on the set of their movie Deep Waters in late 2019. There were already rumors, at the time, that the two were dating. They were finally spotted together after the filming wrapped up and they took a vacation together in Costa Rica and Cuba earlier this year.
Since then, the Justice League actor and de Armas were inseparable. They have been quarantining together in Los Angeles and Ana, also, already met Ben's children with ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
The couple's outing at the beach came a few days after it was reported that the bosses of James Bond film, No Time To Kill, banned Affleck from attending the movie premiere. De Armas is the new Bond girl in Daniel Craig's last 007 movie.
No Time To Die is set to hit big screens in the US on November 20 and in the UK on November 12. Before that, the movie is set to have a special red carpet premiere but it seemed like the film bosses had told de Armas not to bring Affleck as her date.
Apparently, the film executives want all the attention on the stars of the movie and not on Ana and Ben. According to The Sun (via Mirror), the movie producers don't want Affleck and de Armas' PDAs to overshadow the event. This means, the couple, who is not shy in publicly displaying their love for each other, won't be able to make their first red carpet appearance together.
The release of No Time To Die has been delayed several times. It was, originally, scheduled to hit cinemas in November 2019.
It was pushed back to February 2020 and, then, to April 10 after the departure of the movie's original director Danny Boyle. It was further delayed to November 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
