Hollywood Cousins Unite: Jen and Ben Affleck Brew Up Hilarious Dunkin' Ad

Jen Affleck is making waves in a new Dunkin' commercial, where she proudly embraces the moniker of “Value Affleck.” The reality star, known from "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," stars opposite her “cousin” Ben Affleck in the playful advertisement, which cleverly promotes Dunkin’s $6 Meal Deal. The premise of the ad revolves around a scenario where a cashier calls out an order for “Affleck,” leading customers to anticipate Ben’s appearance, only for Jen to confidently stride in instead.

In the commercial, Jen declares, “Expecting my cousin Ben? Nah. When Dunkin’ has something packed with amazing value, they bring me in. Jen Affleck. The Value Affleck.” She continues to humorously differentiate herself from Ben, stating, “Twice the personality, half the price. I’m a steal. Just like Dunkin’s $6 Meal Deal. A coffee, bacon, egg, and cheese, and hash browns for $6? That’s value. You know what’s not value? Ben.” Her playful jabs don't stop there, as she further quips, “Why overpay for something that nobody wants? I’m younger, hotter. Can you believe Ben‘s only 53? And it’s not like a young 53. It’s like a weathered 53.” The camera then pans to Ben Affleck in his car at the drive-thru window, where he reacts to her roast with a simple, “Rude. [I’m a] totally average 53. Right down the 53 fairway.” Later, in a confessional style moment, Jen jokingly describes their meeting as “bad,” yet can’t resist one final jab: “But not as bad as those grays.”

Ben Affleck has a long and well-documented association with Dunkin’, having even starred in a Super Bowl commercial for the brand earlier this year. This new collaboration cleverly leverages a running gag from the first season of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," where an inside joke suggested that Jen and her husband, Zac Affleck, might be related to Ben. While this connection was later revealed to be false, the humorous speculation became a fan favorite, creating the perfect backdrop for their on-screen chemistry.

Speaking about her experience working with Ben, Jen told Us Weekly, “We’re tight now. I got the opportunity to do a Dunkin Donuts commercial — and we all know that’s his thing. It was so fun. It was like we were family.” She playfully added that Ben is now invited to her family’s Thanksgiving and shared that her husband, Zac, 29, also had the chance to meet the actor. “We were definitely starstruck. We were all freaking out,” Jen revealed. “He was so nice. I was not expecting it. I was not expecting how nice he was.” Beyond her Dunkin' debut, Jen Affleck is also set to take on a new challenge this fall as a contestant on the upcoming season of "Dancing With the Stars," where she will be partnered with professional dancer Jan Ravnik, renowned for his touring work with Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour.
