Your eyes arenโt deceiving you โ one of the cast members on โThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesโ really is named Jennifer Affleck.
The new Hulu reality show follows a group of TikTok moms from Utah including Jennifer, 25, who is related to Ben Affleck through her husband, Zac Affleck, who also appears in the series.
Jennifer clarified her relation to the Oscar winner, 52, and his brother, Casey Affleck, in an exclusive interview with The Post.
โBen and Casey is Zacโs dadโs second cousin,โ she explained.
โSo Zacโs dad has probably met him [Ben] once in his whole entire life. But when I was dating him, heโs like, โWell now if you get married to me, you get to say youโre related to Ben Affleck.’โ
โIt was kind of a joke, but also like, kind of real,โ the influencer added.
Jennifer also revealed that itโs not a coincidence she shares the same first name (and technically the same last name, for now) as Benโs estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez.
โAlso whatโs crazy is I was named after J.Lo because my mom was obsessed with J.Lo,โ she shared.
โJennifer Lynn Lopez, my name is Jennifer Lynn Affleck. Iโm like, okay, Jenny from the block is here.โ
The two Jennifers have had the same name since July 2022, when J.Lo, 55, legally changed her name to Jennifer Lynn Affleck after she and Ben tied the knot inย a simple Las Vegas ceremony.
However, the โLetโs Get Loudโ singerย asked a California court toย legally drop her exโs famous last name when she filed for divorce from him on August 20.
The divorce news prompted Jennifer (from the show) to joke that sheโs โthe one and onlyโ Jennifer Affleck now.
Jennifer made her connection to Ben and J.Lo known in aย 2022 TikTok, where she joked that she thought she was going to be โthe next J.Lo,โ but instead all they share is a name.
More recently, Jennifer poked fun at the pairโs breakup in another TikTok where she declared herselfย the โnew Jenny from the blockโ as she danced to J.Loโs popular song.
Viewers will get a glimpse into Jennifer and her husbandโs life on the โMormon Wivesโย show.
Jennifer told The Post that she has mixed feelings about her highs and lows playing out on national television.
โSome days Iโm like, โOh my gosh, weโre the next Kardashians, this is crazy. This is happening,’โ she said. โOther days Iโm like, โOh my hell, our lives are ruined. We cannot be seen at church.โ Iโm just kidding!โ
Jennifer also explained that her TikTok followers โ 1.1 million to be exact โ will see a different side of her and the rest of โMomTokโ on the show.
โWhen people see us on social media, they think weโre the classic Mormon Utah moms. But thereโs a lot to us,โ she said. โSo much is involved with the group. Religion, friendship, relationships. People see this snippet of us on TikTok, but thereโs really so much to unfold and youโll see on the show.โ
All eight episodes of โThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesโ drop Friday on Hulu.
