Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been living apart for months. Although there has been speculation of divorce, the couple has remained silent on their relationship status. However, the signs are pointing to trouble. Not only did Affleck move out of the home he and JLo once shared together, but the couple also spent their wedding anniversary and Lopez’s birthday apart. Most recently, the actor was said to twist the knife with his latest move to buy his own bachelor pad.
Radar Online reports that Ben Affleck purchased a $20.5 million mansion in Pacific Palisades and that Jennifer Lopez is devasted by the decision. The estate is said to have five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a media room, and a guest house.

“Ben’s decision to move into his own home is the final insult,” a source tells the outlet. “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.”
Currently, Affleck is living in a rental property in Brentwood near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Meanwhile, JLo still resides at the pair’s marital home, which has reportedly been put up for sale. However, the singer has spent much of the summer in New York with her friends.
Despite Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage drama, the couple’s children have remained very close. Affleck’s kids, Violet, Fin, and Samuel, and JLo’s twins Max and Emme have reportedly promised to stay close no matter what happens with their parents.
“What is true is that they’re vowing not to let this affect their bond. They’ve all been in touch throughout this split and Emme and Fin especially are staying super close,” an insider told In Touch Weekly.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are said to be very supportive of their children’s relationships with one another. They consider themselves a family no matter what.
