Ben Affleck reportedly bought a new home as rumors continue to swirl that he and Jennifer Lopez are splitting.
According to TMZ, the “Good Will Hunting” star recently purchased a $20.5 million mansion in the ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles as his and Lopez’s marital home still sits on the market.
His new bachelor pad allegedly boasts 5 bedrooms with walk-in closets and 6 bathrooms. Inside the main house are reportedly breakfast and dining spaces, a family room, a den and a media room with a dedicated powder room.
Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 55, have been trying to offload their 38,000-square-foot home since June. While they originally tried to sell the house off-market, they took their listing public earlier this month.
Page Six confirmed they put some of their art pieces up for sale as well.
The “Gigli” co-stars first purchased their pad in June 2023 — almost a year after they eloped in Las Vegas — for just over $60 million.
They have listed the massive 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom home for $68 million and are reportedly “in a rush to sell it.”
“They thought they could sell it off-market but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property,” a source told Us Weekly on July 13.
“Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there,” they added.
In June, an insider told People Affleck “never liked” their house because “it’s too far away from his kids.”
The “On the Floor” singer, meanwhile, reportedly thinks it’s “too big.”
The pair have been spending time apart as divorce chatter continues. Lopez was in the Hamptons during their second wedding anniversary and her 55th birthday, which fell on Wednesday, while Affleck remained in Los Angeles.
Page Six exclusively reported the singer and actress celebrated with family and friends ahead of her special day at the Italian restaurant, Arthur & Sons, which is located on Long Island.
As his wife celebrated, Affleck was spotted running errands on the West Coast.
