‘Why did you unmatch me?’: TikTok user reveals Ben Affleck pursued her on Instagram after she turned him down on dating app Raya in new viral video
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Affleck, 48, who have so far been unavailable for comment.
The video shows Nivine – who has written a book called Cry Baby – striking a series of poses, with the caption ‘Sorry Ben’ alongside a slew of hashtags including the actor’s name and the app Raya.
Raya is often described as the celebrity version of Tinder, as the dating app requires a membership and a vetting process, which is enticing to big movie stars like Affleck.
The app – which launched in 2015 – describes itself as being ‘an exclusive dating and networking platform for people in creative industries.’

It has also been rumored that actor Channing Tatum became a member after his split from British singer Jessie J.
Rumors that Affleck has been on the dating app have been rife for the past couple of years, though it was unclear up until now if it had been a fake profile.
