Over the spring and summer, Ben and Ana weren’t shy about showing their affection for one another. In April, the Justice League actor made his girlfriend’s 32nd birthday extra special by capturing photos of their desert getaway.
In some pics, Ben acted as an Instagram boyfriend and even snapped photos of Ana enjoying a chocolate cake, as well as a video of her hitting a piñata.
“Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and love,” the actress shared on Instagram at the time. “Cheers to another great year.”
A month later, they starred in Residente‘s music video for “Antes Que El Mundo Se Acabe,” which translates to “Before the World Ends.” For the project, the couple shared outtakes from Ana’s birthday celebration.
The pair’s whirlwind romance proved to be going strong, with an insider telling E! News Ana “has brought a lot of joy” in the 48-year-old star’s life.
“She supports his sobriety and has really helped him stay on track,” the insider said last May. “She is loving, caring and fun. They are always laughing and making each other smile. Ben is extremely happy with her…Everything seems to work between them, and it’s been a long time since he has fallen hard like this.”
The insider also shared that Ben had introduced Ana to his children: Violet, 14; Seraphina, 11 and Samuel, 8—who he shares with his ex Jennifer Garner.
“Ana loves kids and couldn’t wait to meet them and spend time with them,” the insider explained. “She knows how much they mean to Ben and so she was anxious to be a part of that. She is very sweet and kind to the kids. They immediately warmed up to her and like her a lot. They are all comfortable together and she’s very nurturing. Everything has worked out very well.”
