Ben Affleck swipes new home deal on Jennifer Lopez’s birthday, making a seemingly deliberate attempt to scorn her as divorce rumors thrive. Jennifer marked her 55th birthday in style on July 24, showcasing the festivities in a series of snaps. Notably missing from her birthday celebration was husband, Ben Affleck. His absence was not unexpected, as the two have grown apart in recent times, raising divorce speculations.
While snubbing Jennifer’s birthday raised brows, Ben Affleck’s activities that same day make the situation more heated than initially thought. Recent reports confirm that the Green Lantern star purchased his multi-million dollar bachelor pad on July 24. Interestingly, his wife marked her birthday on the same day, in their Beverly Hills matrimonial home which is currently on the market for $68 million.
He snagged the 5 bedroom, six-bathroom home for $20.5 million. Coincidentally, Jennifer Lopez also secured a home deal on that day, selling off her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million.
Jennifer Lopez Feels Betrayed as Ben Affleck Secures New Home
The revelation of the overly coincidental timelines comes days after sources revealed Ben Affleck’s sudden decision to purchase a new home was the final straw for Jenifer Lopez. Speaking to Radar Online, the source claimed,
“Ben’s decision to move into his own home is the final insult. 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.”
While the pair have failed to address talks of their crumbling marriage, their silent actions seem to speak even louder. On their second wedding anniversary on July 16, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who have reportedly been living in different homes amid divorce rumors, marked it on opposite sides of the coast, with no form of acknowledgment. On her part, the Hustler’s star had a wild girls adventure in the Hamptons, raising brows with her bikini looks. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck remained in Los Angeles, going about his life like every other day.
