Selling Sunset season 5: Emma Hernan could’ve ruined Bennifer reunion but ‘rejected’ Ben AffleckRishma Dosani

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez sent us all into a spin with their reunion, blessing us with the much-needed Bennifer 2.0 last year.

They took things to the next level recently and announced their engagement – but things could have been very different if Selling Sunset’s Emma Hernan had a change of heart.

Speaking to co-star Chrishell Stause in an episode in season five, which was released on Netflix today, she claimed that she had matched with the Batman actor on a dating app, before he reunited with the Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer.

‘Obviously I’m still single. I’ve done the whole Raya thing,’ she began as Chrishell asked to see the app.

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

‘Remember when Ben Affleck went viral because he sent some girl…,’ her castmate innocently recalled before Emma dropped a bombshell.

‘He may or may not have been texting me,’ she interrupted.

‘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.

Could you imagine Ben making a surprise appearance at the Oppenheim offices?

The Town actor reunited with J Lo last year, two decades after their initial relationship ended.

After intense speculation, the couple confirmed their engagement in a video to fans, sharing a glimpse at Jennifer’s whopper of a ring.

Speaking about their romance in a candid interview, she explained that their romance is different this time around.

‘We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things,’ she told People.

‘It’s a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other.

‘We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Ben’s reps for a comment.

Selling Sunset season five is available to stream on Netflix now.
