With a new chapter beginning in his life, Ben Affleck is looking forward to steadiness in both his personal and professional lives. The actor recently paid more than $20 million for a new home in Los Angeles, which he says has always offered him “privacy and seclusion.” A recent report claims that he moved to enable co-parenting, despite accusations of marital problems with his wife Jennifer Lopez. He reportedly did this out of a desire to keep close contact with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their kids.
Ben Affleck Discovers ‘Hope’ in His New House
About two months ago, the Accountant 2 star and his wife Jennifer Lopez moved out of their joint house and into a Brentwood apartment. He now owns a Los Angeles equestrian estate. ET was informed by a source that “Ben likes his new home and is hopeful about the change.” This action came after Jen and Ben’s $60 million Beverly Hills estate was put up for sale.
Since the Gigli co-stars have been living apart for months, there has been conjecture that they are divorcing. At the end of March, the pair was last spotted together. The Atlas star spent most of the summer on vacation in Europe and the rest of the time in New York. Affleck remained in Los Angeles at this time and was frequently spotted with his kids. Three children, Samuel, 12, Seraphina, 15, and Violet, 18, are Affleck and Garner’s jointly.
Notably, Garner is now seeing her longtime partner John Miller, and there are speculations that the two may soon tie the knot.
Is a divorce between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck imminent?
Though Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who got married in 2022, have signed their divorce papers, they haven’t yet filed them, a source told The Daily Mail. The couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary recently, despite living far apart. The anonymous source said, “They completed the divorce paperwork a month ago but are waiting for the appropriate moment to submit them.”
The couple is reportedly getting ready to release a joint statement for their followers. “At that time, they will issue a joint statement explaining how much they love each other and how they struggled to make it work but couldn’t succeed,” another source revealed. To be honest, they were never able to agree. They both acknowledge that what they once had is no longer there.” Despite living apart, neither Ben nor Jen have formally taken off their wedding bands, according to recent separate images of the celebrities.
“Jen is trying to see her 55th birthday as a new beginning,” a source told ET as the pop diva spent her big day in Bridgehampton, New York. “It has been a challenging year with some unexpected feelings, changes, and obstacles.”
