Ben Affleck Purchases New LA Mansion Amid Divorce Rumors with Jennifer Lopez

In the midst of ongoing rumors surrounding the state of their relationship, actor Ben Affleck has reportedly made a significant decision. Affleck, who is married to Jennifer Lopez, recently purchased a lavish mansion in Los Angeles while their shared home remains on the market.

According to reputable source TMZ, Affleck invested an impressive $31.3 million in a new bachelor pad located in the affluent Pacific Palisades area. The property boasts five bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, and six luxurious bathrooms. The main house features well-appointed breakfast and dining spaces, a family room, a den, and a media room complete with a dedicated powder room. Additionally, there is a separate guesthouse on the premises.

Representatives for Affleck have yet to comment on the recent purchase. The couple had made initial attempts to sell their enormous 38,000-square-foot home off the market; however, they decided to make it publicly available this month. Alongside the house, they have also put up a selection of their artwork for sale.

Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 55, acquired the property together in 2023, nearly a year after their spontaneous elopement in Las Vegas. The couple originally purchased the home for $91.5 million. Now, they are endeavoring to sell the massive 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion for $103.7 million. Sources claim that they are in a rush to sell and opted to publicize the listing for increased visibility.

Insiders have revealed that Affleck was never fond of the property and has desired a change for some time. "He was never happy there," a source explained. "Ben especially wants to be done with the house." On the other hand, reports suggest that Lopez finds the residence excessively large for their needs.

As speculation over their marital status continues, the couple has been spending time apart. During their second wedding anniversary and Lopez's 55th birthday, she was in the Hamptons while Affleck remained in Los Angeles. Celebrating early, Lopez enjoyed a private gathering at a Long Island Italian restaurant called Arthur & Sons. Meanwhile, Affleck was seen tending to errands on the West Coast.

With this recent real estate venture, Ben Affleck seems to be making his own living arrangements while the fate of their shared home remains uncertain. As the stories surrounding their relationship evolve, only time will tell what lies ahead for the high-profile couple.
