Ben Affleck Splurges On $20.5M LA Mansion As Divorce From Jennifer Lopez Is 'Inevitable'

Ben Affleck has purchased a multi-million dollar estate amid marital woes with wife Jennifer Lopez. According to a report, Affleck has now permanently settled for a Pacific Palisades mansion in Los Angeles.

The Oscar winner was previously rumored to be quietly "in escrow" for a new property after he and Lopez put their Beverly Hills marital mansion on the market for $68 million.

Despite the divorce speculations, several sources insist that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are still working on rekindling their romance, although they have not been seen together in over 60 days.

Affleck has finally found a permanent residence as he and Lopez continue living apart amid their marital woes.

According to TMZ, real estate sources revealed that the actor has "closed escrow" on a mansion in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, for a whopping $20.5 million.

The mansion reportedly boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms, breakfast and dining spaces, and a separate family room.

It also has a den, walk-in closets, a movie room, a powder room, a guest house, and more.

Amid speculations of an "inevitable" divorce from Lopez, the "Argo" actor moved out of his Wallingford Estate in Beverly Hills and relocated into a $100,000-a-month rental home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, which reportedly sat close to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner's home.

The 51-year-old actor intensified gossip about his marital status with Lopez when he made the move to take his belongings out of their marital home while she was on vacation in Europe.

While Affleck seems to have found a new residence in Pacific Palisades, Lopez has been enjoying some time with family and friends in the Hamptons.

According to reports, the famous singer intends to relocate to New York City in the event of a divorce from Affleck.

Affleck and Lopez continue to struggle to find a buyer for their 38,00 square feet marital home after placing a $68 million price tag on it. According to

According to US Weekly, a source disclosed that the "Gone Girl" star and the "Hustlers" actress were "in a rush" to sell the property as they "never felt settled" since moving into it.

"They thought they could sell it off-market but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property," the insider shared. "They are in a rush to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there."

An insider told Page Six in June that they'd already started selling off "art and some pieces" from the 12-bedroom and 24 bathrooms mansion.

Since news of their marital troubles began circulating, Affleck and Lopez have missed celebrating important family dates together, including the Fourth of July holidays, their second wedding anniversary, and most recently, Lopez's 55th birthday celebration.

The singer spared no expense in ensuring her birthday was a hit, throwing a "Bridgerton"-themed bash that her close friends and family attended.

She recently took to her Instagram account and shared a post thanking fans for their well wishes.

"I really do have the best, most amazing fans in the world," she wrote. "I could never express how moved I am or how incredibly blessed I feel to have all of you be a part of my life. Thank you sooooo very much."

Lopez continued, "It's hard to believe we have spent all this time together," adding that she "still feels like the same girl starting out so full of energy and bravado," as well as also feeling "tender, fragile and sometimes frightened, but always full of love on the inside."

All hope may not be lost for a potential reunion between Lopez and Affleck. The couple is said to be quietly working to reignite the spark in their romance and keeping it out of the public eye.

"Jen and Ben agreed it is best to take some time apart so they can really figure out what it is that they want," an insider told the Daily Mail.

"They were ready to throw in the towel. Divorce papers are done and ready to be filed. But they wanted to give it one last go before walking away from this and are going back to the beginning by writing each other letters. This is what made them fall in love in the first place," the source added.
