Title: Ben Affleck Snags $20.5 Million Mansion Amid Jennifer Lopez Split Rumors

In the midst of ongoing speculation surrounding their relationship, Ben Affleck has reportedly purchased a new luxurious home worth $20.5 million. According to TMZ, the actor and director acquired a stunning mansion located in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Affleck's new bachelor pad features five spacious bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, as well as six luxurious bathrooms. The main house is said to boast multiple dining and breakfast spaces, a family room, a den, and a media room with a dedicated powder room. Additionally, the property reportedly includes a separate guest house.

This recent real estate move comes as Affleck and Jennifer Lopez continue their efforts to sell their marital home. The couple's sprawling 38,000-square-foot house, which they purchased in June 2023 shortly after their Las Vegas elopement, has been on the market since June. Initially attempting to sell the property privately, they recently made the listing public in hopes of attracting potential buyers.

Page Six confirmed that Affleck and Lopez have even put some of their art pieces up for sale to facilitate the process. The massive 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom residence is currently listed at $68 million, as the couple is reportedly eager to close the sale quickly.

Sources close to the pair reveal that Affleck has never been fully content with their current home, stating it is "too far away from his kids." While Lopez, on the other hand, reportedly feels that the property is "too big" for her preference.

Amidst ongoing speculation about their relationship, Affleck and Lopez have spent time apart recently. As Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday and their second wedding anniversary, she was in the Hamptons with family and friends, while Affleck remained in Los Angeles. The couple's differing locations have only fueled rumors of a potential split.

Page Six exclusively reported that Lopez rang in her special day at Arthur & Sons, an Italian restaurant located in the Hamptons. Meanwhile, Affleck was spotted handling errands on the West Coast.

Affleck's new acquisition of the lavish mansion in the Pacific Palisades is seen by many as a sign that the couple may be drifting apart. Only time will tell if these rumors hold any truth or if Affleck's new abode will serve as a fresh start for the actor.

With all eyes on their journey, fans of the once-beloved duo eagerly await further developments in their relationship.
