Jennifer Lopez reportedly purchased a house following the finalization of her divorce from Ben Affleck.
According to a report from People, published on Tuesday, March 25, Lopez, 55, bought âa new home near Los Angeles for about $18 million,â with the outlet citing property records.
The news arrived less than three months after Lopezâs divorce from Affleck, 52, was finalized, however, the former couple had to wait beyond the January 6 finalization to be recorded as officially single on February 20, per TMZ.
Lopez and Affleckâs shared Beverly Hills mansion, listed for sale for $68 million on July 11, 2024, remains on the market, per People. The former couple purchased the property for $60 million in June 2023 after tying the knot in July 2022.
Lopezâs reported purchase came after Affleck recently broke his silence surrounding his split from the âLetâs Get Loudâ singer, revealing there was no âmajor fractureâ that sparked a demise. (Affleck purchased a $20 million Los Angeles home of his own on July 24, 2024, as confirmed by Us Weekly at the time.)
In an interview with GQ magazine, published on Tuesday, March 25, Affleck was asked about why he chose to be involved in Lopezâs 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. (The documentary was a companion piece to Lopezâ 2024 visual album, This Is Me ⊠Now, and included scenes where Affleck discussed their relationship.)

âPart of it was, âOK, if Iâm going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way thatâs interesting,ââ the Argo star told the outlet. âBecause I thought it was an interesting examination.â
Affleck further praised Lopez for being somebody who âhandles celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have.â

He explained, âMy temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. As happens in relationships, you donât always have the same attitude towards these things. And so I thought, âOh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that?â Because ⊠I love and support this person. I believe in them. Theyâre great. I want people to see that.â
Affleck and Lopez were previously engaged from 2002 to 2004, parting ways before reuniting in 2021. They ultimately called it quits after rumors of marital troubles began circulating in May 2024 when a source exclusively told Us that the couple had been âhaving issuesâ in their marriage as the singer geared up for her This Is MeâŠLive Tour.
Another source added at the time that Affleck had moved out of their shared home âseveral weeksâ prior.
