Ben Affleck is embarking on a new chapter as a divorcee! The actor just moved out of his rental property to his recently bought $20M pad. Affleck acquired his new mansion after splitting from Jennifer Lopez in early 2024. The singer filed for divorce two years after tying the knot at a lavish wedding in Georgia. Lopez has not released any statements regarding the split. Still, she cited "irreconcilable differences" as the motive for their divorce.
An insider revealed that Jennifer struggled with Affleck's moods and emotions. Lopez "did spend a lot of time making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed," said a source to PEOPLE. The way she cared for him was almost childlike," they continued. Friends constantly reminded her that she was not responsible for his feelings. He's very moody and dark at times. Jennifer appreciates life in another way. She's very grateful for everything."

Recent updates indicate that complications have emerged in the ongoing divorce proceedings. Despite sharing a workplace, the two individuals have avoided running into each other. However, a potentially awkward situation was narrowly avoided when both parties were in their respective offices.
Affleck and Lopez were seen leaving the building within minutes of each other. Observers noted that JLo left first, with Ben following 15 minutes later. The high-profile couple, who have not been seen together recently, are now the focus of reports discussing the potential challenges stemming from the absence of a prenuptial agreement.
To help them navigate this difficult situation, the former couple tapped to a powerhouse attorney. According to reports, famed celebrity lawyer Laura Wasser, who has been behind several high-power divorces, including two out of three of Kim Kardashians, will guide the pair in this process.
According to TMZ insiders, Wasser has been working with them for months. The outlet shared photos of the high power attorney at their WeHo office building.
