“There’s no relationship. I just don’t think that’s very fair about that either,” the source told People.
The source continued, “So Zac Affleck is her husband. [His father] is David Affleck. Zac’s grandfather is Gordon Affleck. Zac’s great-grandparents — which would [establish] second cousins — his name is Alan Burt Affleck. Then Ben’s dad is Tim Affleck. His grandfather is Myron Junior. His great-grandparent is Myron Senior. No, Alan Burt and Myron Senior aren’t brothers or anything.”
While Zac‘s family can be traced back to England, Ben and Casey‘s family can be traced back to Scotland.
