Ben Affleck reportedly treated himself to a new $20.5m “bachelor pad” on estranged wife Jennifer Lopez’s 55th birthday.
The Good Will Hunting actor, 51, is said to have closed the deal on his new home in the Pacific Palisades on July 24, as the singer J-Lo marked her special day without him.
According to People, it was a good day for the Jenny From The Block hit-maker too as it’s also the date she completed the sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million.
Affleck’s latest steps on the property ladder comes days after they publicly listed their shared Beverly Hills mansion for an eye-watering $68 million.
The Hollywood couple, who were previously engaged before a high-profile split in 2004, got married in July 2022.
Rumours have been swirling for months that their relationship is struggling and they could be heading for divorce after almost two years of marriage.
Lopez and Affleck haven’t been seen together since early June, choosing to celebrate both the Fourth of July and their July 16 wedding anniversary separately.
He was also noticeably absent from the Bridgerton-themed bash Lopez threw days days before her actual birthday.
Guests including Lopez’s mother Guadalupe Rodríguez and Lucy Paez arrived in their finest Regency-inspired attire, embodying the elegance of the popular Netflix show, which debuted in 2020.
Affleck meanwhile was seen in Los Angeles over the weekend with his children, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, who he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
