Jennifer Lopez looked tense while she scoped out another home in Beverly Hills this week amid the breakdown of her marriage to Ben Affleck. The 55-year-old Bronx native wore a chic button-up shirt and subtly striped wide-leg trousers to tour a $22M home after being forced to downsize from the $60M marital mansion she bought with the 51-year-old actor.
She rolled up the sleeves and tucked the shirt into her low-waisted pants, which she wore with a chunky heel. Her honey-blonde tresses were pulled into a low ponytail with loose pieces framing her face. It comes two weeks after Affleck splurged on a $20M bachelor pad in the Pacific Palisades as she celebrated her birthday with family and friends in The Hamptons.
Lopez has reportedly been left ‘furious and humiliated’ by her split from Affleck, ahead of an imminent divorce filing. The singer has made headlines alongside her spouse, with the two being engulfed in divorce rumors after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed documents had been ‘finalized, but not yet turned in.’ Sources later told Page Six that Ben has held off filing for divorce in a bid to ‘protect’ Jennifer, after it was reported that the pair are no longer on speaking terms.
An insider said: ‘He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life. They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.’ It’s also believed that Jennifer is even more upset by the marital split because their respective children are involved.
‘There are five kids involved in this,’ the source said. ‘She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.’Â Jennifer shares fraternal twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Meanwhile, the Boston-bred actor shares Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer’s potential new home boasts six bedrooms, seven-and-a-half bathrooms, and is over 10,000 square feet. The Spanish-style villa was built in 1927 and is fully renovated. Other details of the residence include courtyards, wood and inlaid floors, hand-stenciled wood beam ceilings, plus a chef’s kitchen with an eat-in breakfast area, according to Zillow. More perks of the space are a 1,000-bottle temperature controlled wine room, 800 sq ft gym, and a guest house.
Lopez reportedly feels the 12-bedroom house she shared with Ben is ‘way too big for her.’ The estranged couple famously toured more than 80 properties before landing on the $61M mansion they purchased in 2023. Recent accounts from people close to the situation have claimed that Ben and JLo’s marital woes have nothing to do with her status as a global superstar, as some have speculated.
‘The idea that Ben thinks Jennifer is too famous and that he didn’t know what he was getting into with the attention on their marriage isn’t true,’ a source told People earlier this summer. It was added that ‘there are deeper issues.’
Despite the alleged imminent split, Jennifer has continued to post on social media, engaging with her Instagram following of 251 million on a regular basis.
