Ryan Seacrest Allegedly Wants To Produce A Show For Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck
Ryan Seacrest allegedly believes that producing a show for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck would give him millions.
In its July 4 issue, National Enquirer claimed that Seacrest is committed to working with Lopez and Affleck especially because they are one of the most popular couples in Hollywood today.
A source claimed that Lopez and Affleck, who go by the moniker “Bennifer” are also open to working with Seacrest because they are good friends with him.
“Jennifer has a great deal of respect for Ryan’s business smarts, and they have talked in the past about teaming up together again. Now, the timing may be right for both of them,” the source said.
According to the source, one of Seacrest’s ideas is to produce a reality TV show for the couple. Since he has background and experience handling reality TV shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Lopez and Affleck believe that their program would also be a huge hit.
However, the source said that there’s one problem amid the entire setup and that has to do with Affleck. Even though he adores Seacrest and believes that his relationship with Lopez is for keeps, the actor tends to be shy at times.
“Ben’s not shy about publicizing himself. But he’s also quite an old school. He’s a genuine movie star and it isn’t going to be easy to convince him to let cameramen follow him around and document what he’s doing all the time. They’ll assure him they can make it like the Kardashians. By the end, most things on their show were set up and micromanaged rather than spontaneous. Although it’s good exposure, it would also be a hard sell. But he’s hopelessly devoted to Jennifer, so she usually gets what she wants,” the source said.
As of late, there’s no proof that Lopez and Affleck want to work with Seacrest in the way that the tabloid claimed. Even though all three are friends, Seacrest has not also expressed any desire to produce another reality TV show following the end of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
It is also important to note that Seacrest is still tied to the Kardashian-Jenner family’s new reality TV show, The Kardashians. So, producing a show for Lopez and Affleck might have a conflict of interest.
Additionally, the couple is also busy with their other projects so now may not be the best time for them to star in their own reality TV show.
