Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly on the verge of finalizing their divorce after a rocky period filled with rumors and publicized conflicts. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot two years ago, have been struggling to overcome their differences despite several attempts at reconciliation.
The situation appears to have reached a breaking point with Affleck’s recent purchase of a $20.5 million home in Pacific Palisades, which has been labeled a “bachelor pad.” This move followed Lopez’s sale of her New York City penthouse for $23 million, hinting at a significant shift in their relationship. The couple also listed their shared Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million, further fueling speculation of an imminent split.
Their efforts to save the marriage seemingly failed, with Lopez marking both her birthday and their anniversary separately, underscoring the growing rift between them. Affleck’s decision to buy a new home without Lopez’s involvement has been described as particularly painful for her, symbolizing a deepening divide in their relationship.
