Rumors of a marital crisis between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been swirling for weeks. Now, it appears the Hollywood star has bought a new villa—without his current wife.
The crisis rumors surrounding the marriage of Ben Affleck, 51, and Jennifer Lopez, 55, are intensifying. Two weeks ago, the Hollywood star and the singer confirmed that their luxury villa in the upscale Beverly Hills neighborhood is up for sale after just one year. Reports indicate that the Oscar winner left their shared home weeks ago and has been living in a rental house in Brentwood. Now, the next step towards a single life: Ben is said to have purchased a new multi-million-dollar estate in Los Angeles—without Jennifer.
Ben Affleck Acquires Multi-Million-Dollar Estate
Is a divorce from Bennifer 2.0 now inevitable? Many fans were thrilled when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez gave their love a second chance in the summer of 2021. On her 52nd birthday, the “Let’s Get Loud” singer made their relationship public with a kissing photo on Instagram. In 2022, they had a civil wedding in Las Vegas, followed by a grand ceremony at Affleck’s estate in Georgia. Now, the celebrity portal “TMZ” has reportedly learned from real estate circles that the Oscar winner has bought a new villa.
5 Bedrooms, 6 Bathrooms, and a Guest House
Ben Affleck is reportedly moving into a villa in the affluent neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, costing $20.5 million (approximately 19 million euros). The house features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a spacious breakfast and dining area, a separate family room, a study, multiple walk-in closets, a media room, and a guest house. There’s plenty of space for his three children, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel Affleck, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 51.
Affleck Moved Out of Their Shared Villa in June
While Jennifer Lopez escaped the media frenzy in June and vacationed in Italy without Ben Affleck, he reportedly packed his things and moved out of their shared estate. He relocated to a rental house in Brentwood, closer to his ex-wife and children.
“Ben is still living in the rental property in Brentwood. He has been there for about two months. He seems to be doing well,” an insider told “People” magazine a few weeks ago. “He is at his office every day and seems focused on work.”
Will Physical Separation Bring Them Closer Together?
Recently, the singer celebrated her 55th birthday with an impressive “Bridgerton” party—without her current husband. On Instagram, Jennifer later thanked everyone emotionally for the birthday wishes but did not mention Ben. Could the physical separation bring the couple closer together again?
