‘Focused On Work And Kids’: Source Reveals Ben Affleck Hasn’t Looked Back Since Moving Out Of Home With Jennifer Lopez

by

As a long-time follower of their love story, I find myself both heartbroken and intrigued by the latest developments between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Their journey has been nothing short of a Hollywood epic, with twists and turns that could rival any script they’ve worked on together.

In May, Ben Affleck decided to leave the house he previously shared with his former spouse, Jennifer Lopez. Since then, it appears that he did not look back, leading to Lopez filing for divorce on August 20th – a date marking the second anniversary of their wedding in Georgia.

According to a source, the recent Oscar winner, aged 52, is currently dedicating his time solely to his professional endeavors and his children. The source also mentioned that he’s keeping himself occupied and contented.

Lopez and Affleck’s divorce came after their rapid romance, marked by two weddings – one in Las Vegas and another at his Georgia mansion in July and August 2022. Yet, despite the initial passion, they drifted apart over two years, eventually deciding to spend some time separately as a Hollywood power couple.

The rift between them started in May, when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala without her spouse. Following this event, she decided to spend the rest of the summer in New York, while Affleck stayed in Los Angeles due to his acting and directing commitments for ‘The Accountant 2’ and other projects. Despite their separate locations, they both continued wearing their wedding rings, fueling speculation among fans that the widespread reports about them were merely unfounded rumors.

Contrary to speculation, the divorce filing made by Lopez over two months ago clearly marked April 26 as the separation date between them and her husband, Affleck. In her petition for marriage dissolution, she also asked the court to restore her birth name, which she adopted upon their marriage.

In her divorce papers, Lopez didn’t specify how they would divide their assets during their split with Affleck, and it is yet to be determined.

As a devoted follower, I’m sharing this information: The luxurious $68 million marital residence that Bennifer shares in Beverly Hills is the only publicly disclosed joint asset. Despite listing it for sale in June, their grand estate remains on the market as of now.

Simultaneously, it’s been reported that Affleck recently bought a $20 million home in Brentwood, California. This is said to be because his children – Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12) – reside in the same area with their mother, Jennifer Garner. Interestingly, Violet has chosen Yale University as her temporary residence, having moved there for college following her high school graduation. Notably, Affleck and Lopez were seen together again towards the end of May, coinciding with this significant event in Violet’s life.

More recently, the ex-spouses, including their children (Jennifer Lopez’s twins Max and Emme, aged 16, who she shares with her former husband Marc Anthony), have been spending time together again. It is said that they have a strong affection for each other.

Last week, Lopez shared during an interview that she’s thriving in solitude, even though being single isn’t easy for someone as romantically inclined as her. She’s found that she can manage quite well on her own, without needing a companion to age alongside.

Despite having parted ways personally, Affleck continues to collaborate professionally with Lopez, as he’s set to produce two of her upcoming projects: Unstoppable and The Kiss of the Spider Woman.
