J.Lo and Ben Affleck: Marriage woes deepen amid new mansion buy

When the news of the remarkable comeback of "Bennifer" broke in the media two years ago, many believed that the saying "old love never rusts" was true. The lavish wedding, joint appearances at celebrity events, and adorable photos captured by paparazzi in 2022 and 2023 suggested that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were genuinely happy together. Unfortunately, it appears that dark clouds gathered over their relationship a few months ago for the first time.

In recent weeks, American tabloids have reported, among other things, that Jennifer and Ben have not been living together for a long time, and they put their joint mansion up for sale. The property, for which the star duo is asking a whopping $68 million, has yet to find a new buyer. It was also noted that J.Lo went on a solo vacation in June, and the "Pearl Harbor" star was photographed several times without his wedding ring. What's more, Affleck did not attend the grand party for his wife's 55th birthday, and international portals are already writing about another "blow" from his side.

On Monday, we reported that Ben Affleck purchased a new property for $20.5 million. Recently, the 51-year-old was temporarily living in a rented apartment for $100,000 a month near his ex-wife's home, Jennifer Garner. The actor will have access to 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a separate family room, and a specially arranged media room in the new mansion. The residence is near the beach in Pacific Palisades, a luxury Los Angeles neighborhood home to many Hollywood stars. Now, new facts are coming to light.

According to the Daily Mail, the 51-year-old actor finalized the house purchase on the day of Jennifer Lopez's 55th birthday, which he did not attend. A source close to the artist told the service that it was a "blow straight to the heart" for her. Another informant told RadarOnline, "Ben's decision to move into his own home is the final insult."

Is the vision of a divorce becoming more real?
