Ben Affleck Buys LA Home Amid Ongoing Marriage Troubles With Jennifer Lopez

The couple put their Beverly Hills home up for sale for $68 million after reports of tensions in their relationship.

Ben Affleck has reportedly purchased a new $20 million mansion in Los Angeles, fueling further speculation about his marital status with Jennifer Lopez. The move comes after the couple put their shared Beverly Hills home up for sale for $68 million amid reports of ongoing tensions in their relationship.

While neither Affleck nor Lopez have publicly discussed their marital situation, sources have told PEOPLE that they are currently focusing on their separate lives and have no summer plans together. The couple has been living apart for several months, with Affleck living in a rental home in Brentwood.

Despite occasional public appearances with their wedding rings, Affleck’s purchase of a new home suggests a significant change in their relationship. Celebrity real estate agent Josh Flagg, who is not associated with the couple, believes the sale of their Beverly Hills home indicates a strong desire to move on, even if it means taking a financial loss.

The couple’s separation and recent real estate decisions have fueled rumors of a possible divorce, despite their public displays of affection. While the future of their marriage remains uncertain, the purchase of a new home adds a new layer to the ongoing speculation surrounding the high-profile couple.
