Let’s talk about love, folks. You know, that unpredictable force that sometimes makes us do the craziest things. Well, here’s a twist in the tale of Hollywood's heartstrings. Saturday Night Live producer Lindsay Shookus, it seems, might just be ready to dive back into the arms of her former flame, Ben Affleck, barely a year after their split. If you're thinking this sounds like the plot of a romantic movie, well, life really does imitate art sometimes.
According to a source close to the 38-year-old Lindsay, she's not over her ex just yet. In fact, she's been making it pretty clear that she's still holding onto some feelings for the Academy Award-winning actor, who's 46. "She wants him back," the insider told In Touch, a magazine that’s always got its finger on the pulse of celebrity drama. "She hasn’t moved on yet and still reaches out to check on how he’s doing. It’s no secret that she still loves Ben." Now, that's what I call persistence, right?
Lindsay’s Social Media Moves
For those of you keeping score at home, Lindsay hasn’t exactly been subtle about her lingering feelings. She's still following Ben on social media, and guess what? She continues to 'Like' the photos he posts on Instagram. If that doesn’t scream interest, I don’t know what does. "She’s kind of obvious about it," the source added with a wink. And here’s the kicker—if Ben were to call her today and suggest they meet up, she’d be there in a heartbeat. That’s what they call being ready, folks.

The Breakup That Shook Hollywood
Now, let’s rewind for a moment. The couple started dating back in July 2017, but by August 2018, Lindsay decided it was time to call it quits. Why? Well, according to People, she just couldn’t handle Ben’s ongoing battle with addiction. "Lindsay had been supporting Ben’s sobriety and going to meetings with him," a source close to the duo revealed. "She had him in meditation and they were doing it together. His recovery was something that was very important to both of them." But as you might imagine, this was no easy decision for Lindsay. "It was very hard for her to break up with Ben, but she knew he wasn’t getting better and that it was time for her to step aside. She was trying to stay as close to him as possible so that he would stay on the right path, but ultimately it just wasn’t possible. She knew she had to let him hit bottom."
A New Ben Affleck Emerges
Fast forward to today, and we’ve got a different Ben Affleck on our hands. The Oscar winner seems to be in the best physical shape of his life. "Ben’s saying bye, bye to his dad body and baggy clothes," a source close to Jennifer Garner’s ex-husband exclusively told Closer Weekly. "He’s been looking different to his friends and there’s a good reason. Sobriety made him look at all aspects of his life, including his appearance." So, with this new, improved version of Ben out there, it seems Lindsay might just be ready to give things another go. But the real question is—will Ben be ready to welcome her back into his life?
