Ben Affleck is happy with his new home near Jennifer Garner and their children

According to reports, Ben Affleck is upbeat after moving into his new house in Los Angeles, despite the mounting rumors of their imminent breakup. He has launched a new chapter in his life.

Just so you know, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez didn’t celebrate their second wedding anniversary together on July 16, 2024.

An American insider told ET that Ben is thrilled with his new house and is optimistic about the transition. In order to make co-parenting easier for Jen Garner and their children, he wanted to relocate.

He added, “It has been a difficult time for him, but he continues to do so to make his well-being and his family a priority.”

Following weeks of speculation about marital strife, the Oscar-winning actor placed his Los Angeles equestrian estate—which he shares with Jennifer Lopez—up for sale and spent $20.5 million on the new property.

Real estate records show that Affleck purchased the five-bedroom mansion from David Calvert-Jones, the nephew of billionaire media magnate Rupert Murdoch, last week.

The news follows Lopez’s 55th birthday celebration last month. According to an ET insider, the pop singer is “doing her best to stay positive and focus on the great things in her life” in the midst of the persistent divorce rumors involving her and Affleck.

Lopez, who celebrated her birthday in Bridgehampton, New York, “always loves spending time on the East Coast, especially during the summer, and it’s been nice for her to be surrounded by friends and family who love her,” according to the source.

According to the source, JLO is attempting to see her 55th birthday as a new beginning, despite the fact that it has been a challenging year filled with unforeseen milestones, changes, and challenges in her life. Despite her predicament with Ben, she is making an effort to be positive.

Ahead of their anniversary last month, a source tells ET that the couple, who rekindled their romance in 2022, are focusing on their family and working on their lives separately.

“According to the source, Jen and Ben are making an effort to prioritize their loved ones during their time apart. They are prioritizing their children and families during these uncertain times, and they want to show their kids a positive side of themselves,” the source said.
