Affleck and Lopez appear headed for divorce after only two years
Ben Affleck seems to be moving on with his life amid ongoing marital strife with Jennifer Lopez. The celebrity couple dated in the early 2000s and finally tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in 2022, but the marriage has gone wrong in the two years since — with divorce seemingly on the horizon.
Following his recent purchase of a $20 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, Affleck landed what some believe is the “final blow” in his tumultuous marriage to Lopez. An insider has told Radar Online that “Jenny from the Block” now knows all about Affleck’s new home — and she is less than pleased with her husband’s behavior.
Lopez feels “stabbed in the heart”
A source close to Lopez has revealed that the actress and vocalist is absolutely devastated by this decisive move Affleck has made, following a stint in a $100,000 per month rental home in Brentwood. Lopez reportedly views Affleck’s literal move into a new home as the “final insult” to their marriage, which she had still been hoping to save.
“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,” the insider said.
Affleck’s new home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, and he has closed on the house even though the $60 million Beverly Hills mansion he shared with Lopez remains on the market. JLo still lives in that mansion, although she recently spent time at her residence in the Hamptons , where she celebrated her 55th birthday earlier this month — and where she still keeps a framed photo from her wedding day.
