As a seasoned observer of Hollywood relationships, I must say that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s tale is as captivating as any blockbuster movie. Their rollercoaster romance, filled with heartwarming meetings, tearful breakups, and surprising reunions, has kept us all on the edge of our seats for what feels like an eternity.


According to the latest news, Ben Affleck appears contented as he gradually settles into his preferred neighborhood with a new residence, while his divorce from Jennifer Lopez progresses.

The 52-year-old actor, who was recently seen picking up takeout at his newly acquired residence, seems to be managing quite nicely in the wake of his legal separation from another prominent A-list actor, aged 55.

On Monday, a source informed the publication that Ben is “in good shape” and “gradually settling into his new residence,” as moving vans have been spotted at the shared home he has with JLo.

The source shared: “He’s right where he desires – near his cherished children and in a community that he adores.”

‘He enjoys working too, and is very focused on the positives.’

It appears, according to a source who spoke to the weekly, that his former wife Jennifer is managing quite well under the circumstances. Remarkably, she continues to express gratitude for her situation and acknowledges some lingering sadness over their separation.

According to the source, she put in a tremendous effort to ensure things ran smoothly, yet it seemed to hold no significance for Ben. Currently, she is enveloped by the love and support of her loved ones, including her children.

Despite the challenges posed by her divorce, she consistently maintains an optimistic perspective, managing to push through and keep moving ahead.

A U-Haul truck was observed parked outside the luxurious Beverly Hills mansion of a separating couple last Thursday, coinciding with rumors that one of them no longer feels secure residing within it.

Previously referred to as ‘Bennifer’, the once married pair (who officially separated on April 26) purchased a luxurious $60.85M mansion in May 2023, known as Crestview Manor. This grand residence boasts double gates, 12 bedrooms, and 24 bathrooms and stands majestically atop a five-acre hilltop.

Outside the newly refurbished house (covering approximately 46,000 square feet on the rooftop and 38,000 square feet under air conditioning), there was an intriguingly red pickup truck filled with cardboard containers that had been parked as well.

55-year-old popular singer and her estranged fourth spouse (aged 52), who allegedly owe a mortgage of $20 million, secretly enlisted realtor Santiago Arana from The Agency in May to discreetly sell their property off-market. This high-value property was then listed on MLS for an astonishing $68 million on July 11.

There are still no buyers for ‘The Crown Jewel of Wallingford’ which boasts a stunning zero-edge pool, 12-car garage, basketball and pickleball courts, a fully-equipped gym, a boxing ring, a sports lounge, and a bar. 

In addition to the luxurious primary dwelling, the estate includes a spacious 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker’s home, and a two-bedroom security house.

‘She and Ben bought the house for the whole [blended] family,’ an insider told People on Wednesday.

‘It’s way too big for her and filled with too many memories as well.’

Since May, Jennifer has been searching for a house without success. Meanwhile, on the same day as her birthday, July 24th, Ben finalized the purchase of his $20.5 million five-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion in Brentwood.

On August 20th, Lopez chose to file for divorce from Affleck in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. This action was taken on what would have been their second wedding anniversary, which they celebrated at his $8.9 million estate located on an 87-acre property within the Hampton Island Preserve, Georgia.

It’s said that since the two-time Grammy nominee and the two-time Oscar-winning director didn’t have a prenup, whatever wealth they accumulated throughout their marriage is considered shared property.

Jennifer and Ben first crossed paths on the film set of Martin Brest’s unsuccessful movie, Gigli, in LA back in 2001. However, their union was short-lived as they called off their wedding just three days before it was due in 2004. Fast forward to February 2021, they started secretly exchanging text messages with each other – a move that took place two months prior to her ending her relationship with Alex Rodriguez.

Meanwhile, Lopez and producer Matt Damon are intending to be present at the world debut of Unstoppable on September 6 at Roy Thomson Hall during the Toronto International Film Festival. However, as reported by People, Affleck has chosen not to attend this event.

In the biographical film by William Goldenberg set for release in December at selected theaters, the creator-actor from Atlas will depict Judy Robles, the actual mother of wrestling champion Anthony Robles who has a disability.

In a twist of roles, the leading figure in “Air” both directs and produces the upcoming reinterpretation of “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” helmed by Bill Condon. The production features Jennifer portraying three distinct characters: Leni Lamaison, Marta, and the Spider Woman.
