Affleck and Lopez’s Property Decisions
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez recently put their massive 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom house in Beverly Hills up for sale for an estimated $68 million. The couple has also listed some of their artworks for sale, hinting at their desire for a quick sale.
Why It Matters
Ben Affleck’s recent purchase of a $20.5 million mansion in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, has fueled speculation about potential marital discord with Jennifer Lopez. The new mansion features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a dining room, a study, walk-in closets, a media room, and a guest house, and significantly, only Affleck’s name appears on the paperwork.
The Bigger Picture
Rumors of a potential split have been circulating as Affleck and Lopez have not been seen together as often in recent months. Despite the ongoing rumors, the couple has still made joint appearances, and Lopez was recently seen wearing her wedding ring in New York City.
What’s Next?
Lopez recently celebrated her 55th birthday with a series of luxurious parties, including a “Bridgerton”-themed event which Affleck did not attend. While the purchase of the new mansion and the Beverly Hills sale may suggest possible changes on the horizon, the couple maintains a low profile regarding their personal life.
Supporting Statements
Affleck is reported to have written a 12-page love speech to Lopez at their wedding, showing his commitment, despite recent absence from her birthday celebrations. Their real estate maneuvers could be doing nothing more than keeping up with their high-profile lifestyle.
Conclusion
The recent property transactions and diminished public appearances together have certainly stirred the media pot. Still, there is no definitive public statement regarding the state of Affleck and Lopez’s marriage.
