Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are doing nothing to dispel those divorce rumors, as insiders close to the couple have revealed that the 51-year-old Gone Girl actor has just bought himself a brand new home in Los Angeles.
We already know that Ben and Jen are living very separate lives at the moment, with the 55-year-old Marry Me actress taking herself on a solo European vacation last month, and the couple spending the Fourth of July weekend on separate coasts.

Ben Affleck Reportedly Buys $20.5M Home In Los Angeles
It's not surprising to see the Argo actor finally buy his own home, as he has reportedly been renting a property in Brentwood for a few months amid the ongoing rumors of trouble in his and J-Lo's marriage.
"Ben continues to live at the Brentwood rental," an insider told People last month. "He's been there for about two months now," another source said, adding: "He seems okay. He's been at his office every day and seems focused on work. He's also spending time with his kids."
According to TMZ, the Batman v Superman actor closed escrow on a $20.5M luxury home, also said to be in Brentwood, last week. In addition to five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the mansion is also said to have walk-in closets, breakfast and dining areas, a separate family room, a den, a media room, and even a guest house. We assume he will move into it quite soon, and we can expect to see the three children he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner make regular visits!
Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez May Make 'A Small Loss' On Their Beverly Hills Mansion
The reports about Affleck's new home come following the news that the couple – who celebrated their second wedding anniversary earlier this month on separate coasts – had put their luxury Beverly Hills mansion up for sale.
They reportedly bought the lavish property for $60,850,000 in May 2023, and had put it up for sale for $68M. Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star Josh Flagg told People that the fact that they had listed the property for "relatively close to what they paid for it" suggested that "they really want to move the property." He added: "With that said, I'm also going to take [a guess] that they're not going to walk out of this making money. They're going to either break even or take a small loss." Yikes
