Ben Affleck’s recent actions, including closing escrow on a new Los Angeles home, indicate a step closer to his impending divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Sources revealed to People that the Batman v Superman star’s new $20.5 million home is a five-bedroom property that offers a ‘sense of privacy and seclusion’ and is ‘not trendy.’ Affleck’s LA estate has a ‘family-friendly environment,’ but it ‘could easily be transformed into a bachelor pad,’ the source added.
Affleck’s new neighborhood is home to many other A-listers from the entertainment industry, maintaining a ‘sophisticated crowd.’ “Real establishment,” the sources remarked.
Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 55, are still waiting for a buyer to meet their asking price of $68 million for their marital home. This 12-bed, 24-bath house sits on a five-acre lot and features an indoor sports complex, gym, pickleball courts, boxing ring, private lounge and bar, 12-car garage, and pool.
The couple, who married in July 2022, listed the mansion for sale in July this year, a year after purchasing it. Even Lopez’s recent actions indicate that the impending divorce is inevitable, as she finally sold her four-bed, 7.5-bath New York City condo for $23 million. The condo had been on and off the market for seven years.
These events followed a major hint from Affleck to Lopez when he snubbed her on her 55th birthday recently. The signs of an impending divorce are becoming clearer with each step Affleck and Lopez take. Affleck’s new home, described as both private and versatile, suggests his readiness to move on to a new chapter. Meanwhile, Lopez’s decision to sell her long-time NYC condo further emphasizes the separation.
Affleck and Lopez’s efforts to sell their marital home highlight the end of their relationship. The lavish estate, with its numerous amenities and expansive grounds, reflects the high-profile nature of their marriage. However, both seem to be preparing for independent futures.
As the couple awaits a buyer for their shared property and adjusts to their new living arrangements, the public continues to watch closely. The dissolution of their marriage, marked by significant real estate transactions and personal milestones, underscores the complexity and emotional weight of their separation.
