Ben Affleck's cruel birthday blow to Jennifer Lopez revealed as it emerges he snapped up 20.5M bachelor pad on the day she turned 55

As a long-time, die-hard fan of Bennifer (or is it Jaffle now?), I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions as I read through this latest chapter in their love story. On one hand, I’m saddened by the rumors of marital strife and the possibility that these two incredible individuals might be drifting apart. But on the other hand, I’ve learned over the years that relationships are never black and white, and there’s always hope for reconciliation – especially when it comes to Bennifer!


On the same day Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday, her husband Ben Affleck closed escrow on his new $20.5 million ‘bachelor pad.’

51-year-old actor from The Last Duel, recently bought a new residence in Pacific Palisades on July 24th, while the singer celebrated her birthday separately.

It just so happens that at the same time, the actress from Hustlers completed the sale of her four-bedroom NYC penthouse for $23 million, according to People’s report.

His purchase came days after they publicly listed their shared Beverly Hills mansion for a whopping $68 million.

The pair have not been pictured together in months amid ongoing rumors of a split.

The news follows allegations that Affleck’s swift acquisition of the house was particularly painful for Lopez.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say: My ideal home, much like Ben Affleck’s, boasts five spacious bedrooms and six modern bathrooms. It offers not only a dining area but also a cozy breakfast nook for those casual morning meals. A separate family room provides the perfect setting for quality time with loved ones, while a den offers a quiet space for work or relaxation. For the fashion-conscious, walk-in closets are a must, and a media room caters to entertainment enthusiasts. A powder room adds convenience, and a guest house is an ideal retreat for visitors. Of course, such a luxurious abode wouldn’t be complete without the additional amenities you’d expect in a multi-million dollar home.

A source told RadarOnline: ‘Ben’s decision to move into his own home is the final insult.’

Based on my years of observing relationships and the nuances they often exhibit before a separation, I can confidently say that this recent development is a clear indication that something might be amiss in Affleck’s marriage to Jennifer. The signs seem to point towards potential divorce, as such situations usually involve significant changes or distance between partners. However, it’s essential to remember that every couple is unique, and only they truly know the state of their relationship. I can only speculate based on what is publicly available.

Earlier this month, the current owner of “This Is Me…Now” and Affleck put their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale, a property they acquired for $60 million in May. However, despite listing it, they have yet to secure an initial buyer.

I’ve just celebrated my second wedding anniversary, but due to recent circumstances, I found myself marking this special occasion separately, with whispers of us residing in different abodes.

While Lopez resides in their shared matrimonial abode, Affleck has chosen to live temporarily in a luxury rental costing approximately $100,000 per month, situated not far from his former wife, Jennifer Garner’s residence in Brentwood.

In the timeframe between 2005 and 2018, he was wedded to Garner who is now 52 years old. They are parents to three kids: Violet (age 18), Fin (age 15) and Samuel, who just turned 12.

Ever since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez haven’t graced our sight together, starting from that quiet moment in late March, whispers of their marital struggles have been echoing around me like a melancholic tune on repeat, starting in May.

According to a source, Ben had already left their shared home at that point, and it seems they might need to put up their cherished house on sale – a property they had diligently searched for over two years.

Their affection for one another will remain unwavering, yet she finds it impossible to manage him, and he is unable to alter her. It seems that the relationship was destined not to endure.

One of Lopez’s friends based in Los Angeles shared with the Daily Mail, “If all it takes is hard work, then you can be certain that [Jen] will make things right.”

According to the source, she’s deeply invested in her romantic journey with Ben and isn’t planning to let go easily. It seems there’s a great deal of affection remaining between them, which suggests that there might be room for resolution.

Right now, Lopez is in New York City, having just celebrated her birthday in the Hamptons.

Following a celebration inspired by the series ‘Bridgerton’, with Affleck absent, Lopez expressed gratitude to her fans for their birthday wishes via a social media post.

The artist who made “On The Floor” shared with her 251 million Instagram followers that she felt overwhelmed by the worldwide affection and love shown to her.

Later in her post, Lopez admitted to being ‘fragile’ and declared her fans as her ‘biggest gift.’

During the Independence Day weekend, the pair chose to spend time separately. Meanwhile, the actress who stars in “This Is Me… Now” was enjoying herself in the Hamptons alongside her loved ones and companions, while the actor from “Deep Water” remained in Los Angeles.

As someone who has gone through a separation myself, I can empathize with Jen and Ben. The rumors about their marital troubles this summer have certainly struck a chord with me. Divorce is never easy, even for those in the public eye like them. It’s a difficult process that requires patience, understanding, and above all, compassion. My hope is that they find a resolution that works best for both of them and their family, if that’s what they ultimately decide to do.

On Wednesday, Us Weekly hinted that there might be a tiny chance for Ben and Jennifer to reconcile.

‘Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out,’ the source said.

It was also added that Bennifer 2.0 ‘still haven’t made a decision’ regarding splitting.

In the vibrant heart of July 2022, I exchanged vows for a second time, this time under the charming archways of A Little White Wedding Chapel in the dazzling city of Las Vegas. Fast-forward to August, and it was Georgia’s turn to host our grand celebration, where we once again pledged our love in a more opulent ceremony.
