Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are finalizing their divorce following a rocky period filled with public drama and persistent rumors. The couple, who reignited their romance in 2021 and married two years later, struggled to mend their relationship despite several efforts.
The decisive factor appears to be Affleck’s recent $20.5 million home purchase in Pacific Palisades, labeled a “bachelor pad.” This move came after Lopez sold her New York City penthouse for $23 million and the couple listed their Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million. These actions intensified speculation about their separation.
Their attempts to repair their marriage have been unsuccessful. Lopez marked her birthday and their anniversary separately, underscoring their growing separation. Affleck’s acquisition of the new home, without Lopez’s involvement, was described as a “stab in the heart” for her, further highlighting the rift between them.
