Here’s what we know about the pair so far.
They had an ‘instant connection’ on set
While making the thriller Deep Water last year in New Orleans, Affleck, 47, and de Armas, 31, had “an instant connection,” a set source told PEOPLE.
“They had great chemistry right from the start,” the source said of the pair, who play a couple in the movie from Fatal Attractive director Adrian Lyne. “Ben always seemed very relaxed and happy around Ana, but at the time there were no signs of romance. He was very focused on making a fantastic movie. He arrived early and was one of the last people to leave.”

Affleck complimented de Armas on her talent
In a recent interview with Vogue Spain, Affleck spoke about de Armas’s “infinite” talent displayed in Deep Water, which is set to be released in November.
“The first time we read the scenes together, it became pretty clear she was going to do something exceptional with a very complex role,” Affleck, 47, said of de Armas. “Her character is the engine of the story and requires her to move between tragedy and irony or between realism and the most absurd comedy.”
The actor added: “Not only does she know how to do it with ease, she also manages to surprise you in every shot. Her talent is infinite.”
