- He bought a new mansion for J.Lo's birthday.
While his still-wife Jennifer Lopez (55) celebrated her 55th birthday last week on July 24, Ben Affleck (51) seemingly had better things to do. On her special day, the actor reportedly signed the purchase agreement for his new house in Los Angeles - a deliberate snub or mere coincidence?
Jennifer Lopez also sold her New York apartment on the same day. Both transactions have been confirmed by the "People" magazine. Thus, the physical separation of the still-married Hollywood stars seems inevitable.
That Affleck bought a luxury villa in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood for around $20.5 million (approximately €19 million) was reported by "TMZ" last week, citing sources from the real estate industry. The house is said to have five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a home office, a media room, and a guest house.
Previously, Affleck and Lopez shared a luxury villa in Beverly Hills, which they put up for sale a few months after rumors of marital trouble began. The property was officially listed on the real estate portal Zillow in mid-July.
However, Jennifer Lopez didn't let the real estate drama dampen her spirits. She celebrated her 55th birthday glamorously and uniquely in the Hamptons, including a pre-birthday party with a "Bridgerton" theme, as shown in a video on her Instagram account. Later, Lopez published a post expressing her gratitude for the many birthday wishes. In it, she shared two photos of herself in a mint green silk pajama set with a "Happy Birthday" crown and in front of a flower-adorned cake, accompanied by emotional words for her many fans. Affleck was not present at the celebrations.
Ben Affleck chose to focus on his house purchase in Los Angeles on Jennifer Lopez's birthday, signing the agreement for his new luxury villa in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. Despite Ben Affleck's absence, Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday in the Hamptons, surrounded by friends and fans, as demonstrated in her Instagram posts.
