Ben Affleck escapes fire; finds refuge with ex‑wife Garner
Last summer, Ben Affleck acquired an incredibly expensive mansion located in Pacific Palisades. The fire spreading there forced the star to make an immediate escape. His ex-wife reportedly offered a helping hand.
The whole world watches in horror as California is engulfed by fires. Thousands of Los Angeles residents have lost their possessions in just a few hours. The main victims are the wealthiest Americans residing in the prestigious Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
In July this year, Ben Affleck joined the ranks of its incredibly rich residents. The two-time Oscar winner purchased a villa for a "modest" $20.5 million, enjoying features such as 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and his own movie theater. Temporarily, however, he has to do without these luxuries. He was forced to leave the area due to the high concentration of fire and dense smoke polluting the air.
Did Ben Affleck temporarily move in with Jennifer Garner?
The 52-year-old actor was photographed on Tuesday evening, quickly leaving the property area. He took the most necessary items and drove his black SUV toward his ex-wife's house. According to media reports, Jennifer Garner was waiting there for him with their three children: 19-year-old Violet, 16-year-old Fin, and Samuel, born in 2012.
Ben Affleck has always been able to count on his ex-wife's support in difficult times. They are a model of ideal co-parents who avoided media wars and consciously stayed away from exhausting battles over asset division and custody of the children. Six years after their divorce, they still maintain a friendly relationship.
Thus, Ben Affleck joined the group of nearly 30,000 other Los Angeles residents who were evacuated in the first hours after the fires broke out.
