Did Ben Affleck end his villa purchase to marry Jennifer Lopez?
Is it all over now? Rumors of a divorce in the House of Lopez/Affleck continue to circulate. The couple no longer appears in public together and reportedly no longer live together. A possible decision by Affleck suggests that the end may really be sealed.
Rumors of a crisis in the marriage of Hollywood actor Ben Affleck and singer Jennifer Lopez have been swirling for weeks. The first signs that the relationship of these two stars might be nearing its end emerged in May of this year, as the couple, known as "Bennifer" in the media, had not been seen together for months.
According to People magazine, which reported in mid-June, Affleck allegedly removed his personal belongings from the previously shared villa in Beverly Hills. He reportedly looked for a temporary residence in a rental apartment in Brentwood, an exclusive neighborhood of Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, it became known that the couple had put their house in Beverly Hills, which they had only moved into in May 2023, up for sale.
Further indications of a possible imminent separation came to light due to the fact that Affleck and Lopez spent their second wedding anniversary on July 16 separately from one another. Lopez's birthday party on July 24 also saw her husband conspicuously absent.
According to TMZ magazine on Saturday, Ben Affleck now seems to be making the previously improvised spatial separation from his wife permanent. According to sources in real estate circles, the actor is reportedly close to completing a house purchase in Pacific Palisades, a noble district. The sources claim that Affleck's new residence will cost around 20.5 million US dollars (around 19 million Euros) and will have five bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as offices, a media room, and a guest house.
The exclusive neighborhood of Los Angeles, Brentwood, became Affleck's temporary residence after he removed his belongings from the shared villa in Beverly Hills. This separation from his wife's side of their recently acquired Beverly Hills home further fueled divorce rumors. During their second wedding anniversary on July 16, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez celebrated separately, adding to the speculations.
