Ben Affleck has recently purchased a stunning new home in Pacific Palisades for $20.5 million. The five-bedroom, six-bathroom property is set in an exclusive neighbourhood and was sold by Blair Chang from The Agency. This purchase comes amid rumours about his marriage to Jennifer Lopez facing challenges.
The couple recently marked their second wedding anniversary separately. Jennifer Lopez celebrated in the Hamptons, New York, while Ben Affleck stayed in Los Angeles. Despite these separate celebrations, both have continued wearing their wedding rings.
The new home, described as a romantic estate, sits on 2/3 of an acre in the upscale Sullivan Canyon area. According to the listing, the property is surrounded by lush gardens and features an open-plan living area, a chef’s kitchen, and four bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a cozy fireplace, and the entire home boasts high ceilings and scenic garden views. Originally designed as an equestrian estate, the property includes stables, a tack room, and a walking ring.

Outside, the estate offers a pool, a spa, and a two-story guest house. This significant real estate move follows the couple's rekindled romance, which began in 2021 after their initial relationship ended in 2001. They married in 2022, but recent developments suggest a possible strain on their relationship.
In a related move, Ben Affleck has relocated his belongings from their Beverly Hills home, purchased in May 2023 for $60 million. This mansion, with 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a 12-car garage, is now listed for $68 million. The property, recently renovated, boasts spectacular mountain views and high-end amenities, including a zero-edge pool, sports complex with basketball and pickleball courts, a boxing ring, a gym, and a bar.
