Things are increasingly strained in the marriage of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Recent rumors and speculation about an impending divorce seem to be gaining traction as several signs point in that direction. The couple’s decision to put their Beverly Hills mansion on the market further fueled these rumors. Jennifer Lopez has been spending time in the Hamptons, where she celebrated her 55th birthday without Affleck.
During this period, there were hopes for reconciliation. However, over the weekend, news emerged that Affleck had finalized the purchase of a $20.5 million mansion in Brentwood, as reported by TMZ.
Affleck’s new residence, located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, boasts 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms within a 6,000 square foot space. The mansion includes breakfast and dining areas, a family room, a den, walk-in closets, a media room, a powder room, and a separate guest house.
A source revealed to Radar Online that Affleck’s decision to move into his own home is viewed as “the final insult.” The insider commented that “JLo had been holding onto hope that there could be a reconciliation if they were to spend some time apart, but this is like a stab in the heart.”
Earlier this month, the couple listed their Beverly Hills estate, which they purchased for $61 million in cash, for $68 million. This attempt follows a prior effort to sell the mansion off the market in May. The listing was one of the initial signs that all was not well in their relationship.
According to the DailyMail, the Air director had been residing in a rental property costing $100,000 monthly, located near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home in Brentwood.
Interestingly, just days before Affleck’s property purchase became public knowledge, Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday without him. Despite his absence, Lopez kept his memory close, sharing a video made by her friend and producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas with Stevie Mackay. In the background of one clip, fans noticed a framed wedding photo of her and Affleck on one of her mantels.
The couple marked their second anniversary while being thousands of miles apart. They legally wed on July 16 in a surprise ceremony at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. However, their official celebration did not take place until August 20, raising the possibility that they might still honor that date for their anniversary.
Lopez celebrated their first anniversary by sharing a post on August 20 dedicated to Affleck, featuring the lyrics to her song “Dear Ben, Pt. II” as the caption. As their second anniversary approaches, it remains to be seen if they will commemorate the date together or if Affleck’s recent purchase signals the end of their relationship.
