Ben Affleck recently moved into a $100,000-a-month luxury mansion amid growing rumors of his separation from Jennifer Lopez. Although none of the A-listers have confirmed whether or not a divorce is on the horizon, Affleck’s decision to move closer to his ex-wife has further fueled the ongoing speculation. The 51-year-old actor’s rented property, located in Los Angeles’ expensive Brentwood neighborhood, is surprisingly just two blocks away from Jennifer Garner’s home. But what does that mean? Here’s what we know so far:
Affleck and JLo’s split rumors continue to grow
Affleck and the 54-year-old singer first had a falling out when they were not seen together for almost two months. The Justice League star tied the knot with Lopez on July 16, 2022. Following their intimate wedding in Las Vegas, they held a lavish ceremony at Affleck’s Georgia estate.
Their public relationship soon cooled as the couple were not photographed together for several months, causing concerns among fans. Split rumors quickly grew after they failed to attend the Met Gala together. A source recently told Page Six that the Hypnotic star has “come to his senses” about his impending divorce.
“If there was a way to get a divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would do it. He feels like the last two years were just a fever dream, and now he’s come to his senses and understands there’s no way he can do that,” the insider told the outlet.
Ben Affleck gets closer to ex-wife amid JLO divorce speculations
According to Hello magazine, the Deep Water actor has been living in a 10,000-square-foot luxury mansion for the past few weeks, which also includes a private tennis court and pool. The mansion’s proximity to Garner’s home makes it easy for Affleck to visit their three children—Violet, 18; Finn, 15; and Samuel, 12 – whom he shares with the 13 Going on 30 actress.
Over the weekend, the 52-year-old actress was spotted visiting Affleck at his newly rented home. This raised further doubts about the current state of her marriage with the Can’t Get Enough singer. However, reports suggest that Lopez has been talking to Garner to seek advice during the difficult phase of her marriage with Affleck.
